Gibbo's post on the CS forum.

Soon Jung · July 28, 2009, 09:30:57 PM

Ok, my personal feelings for the guy still hasnt changed, I still feel the same way, but dont you think its a LITTLE over the top mocking his way of typing publically? I mean he types like a.. well, monkey, but come on, we do not publically humiliate people, its just not the correct dMw way to do so!

If you ask me, we all know his typing is crap, how about pming him or something about giving him advise to use punctuals and commas, so that the post makes more sense, rather than to make public slander.
If its lazyness or his an-alphabetical problems, doesnt matter, I still think its wrong publically make fun of others becuase of the way they type.

Dont go teaching a guy to make threads that makes sense with humiliations, PM him and do it proper!

Mind I remind you of our FAUP?

I actually agree, the guy types like a, yeah i dont know what..
I know we usually dont go away for a bit of teasing, all in good fun..
But its not the first time hes been commented about his typing, and he actually feels crap when people makes fun of it, he stated it before in DMR gchat

Deleted my post in case it was found to be offensive in any way shape or form,

Although having said that, I do think he is too immature for the community judging by his posts and game VC (wrong time to say it I know)

Penfold · July 28, 2009, 10:51:55 PM

Snokes, I think Ellie was referring more to my post than yours.

Ellie, on reflection, I think you're right and I've also deleted my post in case. It wasn't meant to humiliate him more as a jibe.

IMO if he feels bad about then he should write better. Unless he's completely illiterate (which I doubt) he must know what punctuation is and what a capital letter is. I'm sorry but it's lazy, immature, discourteous and frankly makes his posts more of a nonsense than they are at the best of times.

That said, I *should* know better and I'm glad you pulled me up on it Ellie.

I have to say that it was this thread that made me very frustrated. Read it and you'll see why.

Anyway. Good Call. If I was more devious I would say that it was all part of my machinations to spot test how on-the-ball the Mods were :flirty:

I'll send him a pm accordingly.

Cheers

I meant all the posts on that thread. Personally i totally agree he needs to be let known that he is typing like shait and that he needs to type better. Nobody understands him and he needs to be told so.
Let him know in a humane private way

but my feeling about him hasnt chandged....

Yeah, thoughts my exactage.

Benny · July 28, 2009, 11:27:05 PM

More seriously though...we've had other members who started like that and have grown up. I remember a certain Siamese Twin fan posting absolute gibberish and Doorman pulled him up. He (gibbo) is immature, he is a pain the proverbial, but he's also a regular and a contributor.

Let's be the people that shape the future rather than cast it asunder so he can go and play with zygot or whatever they are called.

I didn't think the posts were that bad, but let's not crucify the guy in two threads in here. People do change. Look at me, I used to be nice.

I was going to bring that up but thought better of it. He still posts absolute gibberish but he now uses proper English like wot I do. :norty:

Never let humane practices get in the way of training.

A large proportion of our society's woes are down to treating kids like humans.

You were never nice. It was all a front while you bided your time to become a HEAD ADMIN! :woot2:

TeaLeaf · July 29, 2009, 02:38:17 PM

I think if we are being as kid-gloved with him then it's probably ok to ask him to remove the smartie party from his sig......in case it offends.

Is it rude? I've often felt I should be offended but wasn't quite sure. :g:

Penfold · July 29, 2009, 03:07:17 PM

PM'd and told to remove it.

Ron, don't ask. The person who complained about it also gave me a link

http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...=smartie+party (NSFW and possibly offensive)

When we used to play it all we got out of it was a snog! How times have changed eh...

QuoteEverybody gathers together and dresses in brightly coloured leotards, then has a party inside a unnaturally large smartie tube, located in the middle of a field.
No blue's allowed.

Seems harmless enough.

Choice #1 :g: Inventive, I'll give 'em that! :roflmao:

Penfold · July 29, 2009, 03:29:43 PM

No, that's being blue-ist and as such contravenes our policy of being all-inclusive of anyone and everyone :flirty:
