Yeah, when you're about to get attacked by AMF and all his cronies who hang on his balls all the time, you generally want to cut down on the opposition.

I mean, if AMF ever did anything by himself that would be a different story but it seems there are always a handful of mindless lapdogs who follow his every move.

Thread one in which Zarbia flames- http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=380560&page=2&pp=15

If you could please talk to him about the difference between IC and OOC and what constitues flaming and flame baiting, of which he is doing both not only in this thread but in one OOC thread and OOCLy in a full RP thread, that would be greatly appreciated. Some of us don't want to have to read this crap when we're on NS.

More threads and posts may be furnished upon request.

Thank you for your time!

If this guy cannot handle role-playing, perhaps he should just stop. The insults are getting to be abit much just because most of us involved in this thread prefer to write a good story as opposed to slinging numbers around. Zarbia does not seem to understand that there are different ways to 'play' this game, and I'd apprecaite it mods of you could say something to him.

I think that that thread in general in probably flamebait. I remember that the mods said threads that simply ask for someone to be IGNOREd are flamebait and should not be created since they really only anger the person at whom it's directed and never turn out very well in the end.

Also, I think the mods should look at this post (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7678252&postcount=41). Yea, it's funny - but come on...

No, of course. Blatant ooc manipulations of IC situations should just be accepted.

I've dealt with Zarbia before on another message board (MuchMusic), and while he is prone to petty outbursts (if I remember the "punk ass punk bands" thread on MuchMusic correctly) and, admittedly, did not really handle himself very well in that thread, I would like to say that there are people who can get far, far worse (e.g. the godmodders).

Sure, he is flaming, but he does have a valid point. He's of the type that would rather have everything get to the point, and that's okay. He hasn't presented that argument well, but he's still made that argument. It- I believe- is a carryover from the Much boards, where 99% of the posts are one-liners, and where flaming is pretty rampant. I know it doesn't condone what he's done, I just thought it might put things into context. He can, however, be very nice.

Bottom line is, I'm just asking for leiniency (as I believe most of you are anyway). I don't think he should be DEATed or forumbanned as a result of this and deserves a second chance.

I don't want him deated or banned, by any means. Just given a nice little talking to and a warning. I'm not mean, vindicative, or evil, so I say he can easily have a second chance.

After he gets a warnng that is.
