Every time i see him, he is flaming. This time he is ruining our perfectly good COMECON-SD meeting which is CLOSED!

I know he just got off a 3 day ban, so could you do something more severe this time? A week? Month? Life :D ?

Now I'm not a mod, but I just clicked your link to page 3 of that thread and I can't even see a post from Free Angola on there :confused:

Try linking to a post not a page, it avoids a lot of confusion. If you don't know how, click the number on the far right of the post in the header (on this post it says #3).

Anything from post 54 onwards, methinks, would be suitable evidence.

Namely:

Plus the several other deleted ones.

He's a bane on the community as a whole, in my amateur, probably ignorable opinion. He ends up acting like...well, I can't say it, in most of the threads he ends up in.

He didn't "invade" your thread. For awhile, it seems he was invited to apply. The fact that his manner of leaving offends you is nothing to act on.

He hasn't flamed anyone that I can see. Probably not acted with what you think is appropriate RP etiquette, but we aren't here to ensure that everyone acts the way they're "supposed" to.

Just because he doesn't take the game quite as seriously as you doesn't mean he's doing anything offensive, hurtful, or ban worthy.

Does his threatining to "nuke us all" post that he deleted not count?

I actually read all his deleted posts. They're stupidity, not flaming. He hasn't called any of you names, insulted your personalities... He's roleplaying badly. That's it.

Agreed.

Well, thanks for your time, at least. Much appreciated.

The above is what Leocardia wrote...

Below is how Kryozerkia interpretted it:

Wah wah wah... cry cry cry...

Honestly, while it may be in bad form what he did, it is a far cry from flaming. Just because it says "closed" doesn't mean anything. Besides, if you don't want people in your thread, you should have your own forum for this rather than whining about it.

The posts that are labelled as "flaming" are not flaming. They are stupid and rather n00bish if anything. It sounded like he was making a pathetic attempt at being IC in the thread.

Please define what "flaming" means to you.

Flaming to me means that a stupid posts that is off topic from the actual thread.

FreeAngola is flaming, because he is ruining our threads real topic. He ruined mines by trying to change the topic to a debate on who's tank is better than who's, than actually leaving the thread alone and let me get business.

According to The One-Stop Rule Shop (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8784641&postcount=3)...

Flame: Expressing anger at someone in uncouth ways with OOC (out-of-character) comments (i.e. swearing, being obnoxious, threatening etc). It does to watch what you post IC (in-character) as well unless the other posters know you're not serious. You do not need to curse to be a flamer. Erudite slams while maintaining a veneer of politeness can also be considered flaming. Flaming in the forums should be reported in the Moderation forum, in the game itself, through Getting Help Page.

If I look at his posts, it seems that he is IC but it's badly done and n00bish.

It shouldn't matter whose tanks are better. It's a matter of opinion. You should tell him to make another thread instead of one-upping in with responses.

Leocardia. If the posts you quoted in your thread are what he said, there is no flaming...

Okay, NONE of what FreeAngola has said has been flaming. If you don't want to play with him, ask him nicely to leave you alone. If he continues to bother you, while it wouldn't be flaming, it would be a case where moderators would step in.

In response to the thread title: no.

We haven't banned anyone else for being the archetypical n00b, so we're not going to start that now.
