OK so I am back from my Olympic Opening Ceremony party and this seems to have happened.
1) I've received a formal apology from Sonomaa for sending on my PMs. He agrees it was a fucking stupid thing to do. So yes, it was a fucking stupid thing to do. So fuck you, Conformity, for all your fucking idiotic answers in this thread. How's it feel now that Sono's "thinking the forum is a business" includes actually agreeing that he'd made a mistake and apologising for doing something stupid? Yeah. I thought as much.
2) I am not even going to grace Conformity's response to my complaints to Sono with a response, apart from laughing a lot at his "grand plan for spam" making it into his EVO butt buddy forum and basically trolling to make spam so infighty that it apparently doesn't "leak" into the other forums. So yeah go on guys, he's just trolling, go fuck up the rest of BG like we usually do (?! wtf, there hasn't been any leaky spam in ages, most of us are pretty chill now, idk what the fuck he's talking about). So yeah that's basically what it is now. Conformity's EVO arselicking forum + he's going to use his business acumen to "revitalise spam" when in reality all it's really taken was March Madness & a thread about FFXI to do that.
So yeah, in summary, don't take Conformity seriously in spam guys, he's just trolling because he's an idiot and wants to get people mad so it "invigorates spam" and he wants to integrate his EVO jerkwad "friends" into spam to make it his own personal fiefdom. What a pathetic, sad character he is. Really.
Also: it wasn't a "formal complaint", and formal complaints are NEVER handled like this in real life. They are held in confidence, that's part of business ethics. I don't know how much ethics you've taken Conformity but trust me, I'm actually a pro at this shit and it's NOT ON. You have to handle that sort of thing sensitively and professionally and that doesn't mean forwarding on complaints about a particular person TO THAT PERSON. I'd hate to work in any company you're a boss of if you think that's the right thing to do. Seriously. Ugh.
So are you capable of ignoring conformity without putting him on ignore?
You people take this shit way too seriously
I did not read this thread but the mad I see on the first alone is amazing.
Seriously, another fucking Vandole, that's all we need.
What made you want to block him in the first place? Making mountains out of molehills, he ain't even close to Vandole level posting.
I think he's a smarmy turd with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
So you're saying that you have no will-power to consciously skip his posts? lol
I know for real.
omg this thread lol.
here is the problem. the admins and mods are not elected officials, technically they can do whatever they want and if you dont like it you are basically powerless to stop it. this especially applies to a section like spam where even though we are prob the most close knit group of posters, it is still one of the least read and least important sections of the entire forum.
people dont donate to keep the forum alive so they can read spam.
if you want your message to be heard you need to stop donating money when the time comes. if you already dont donate then you need to successfully lobby others to not donate, aka the 300+ people viewing the gaming, general and bentertainment sections right now, those that use BG wiki, and those that update bg wiki. it is clear sono does not give a shit about spam and its posters, he has said as much. There is no bill or rights to protect you, there never will be.
