This took a long time to finalize because as I said before: as I go lower and lower it gets harder for me to say nice/unbiased things about the user. The last 2 are unavoidable even (and that doesn't include harvie at 0). I really tried but now it's time to officially end this thing. I locked the thread so people would stop bumping and asking the same old things over and over. It's finally arrived:
41st to 50th User
##Ahmad/Salt - 4.5
Lasting Impression: After realizing that he was being an asshat for the past year when I called him out on the IRC, he rushed to the forums and made a new intro thread which consequently causes me to infract him for re-introducing himself like a dumbass.
There was a point in time (prior to my modship) where Ahmad and THE RISER were both the subject of debate as to whether or not they should be "booted out for having more infractions than 2-D". As you know, and obviously, only one of them managed to get their shit straight. Ahmad evolved from a random harvie-esque foreign kid to well, Salt. But I just call him Ahmad2.0 Ever since then, he's been relegated to average poster status though on the occasion he will make the 1 or 2 unfunny snarky comment in the Chat and Picture threads and never follow it up. It's like, being a snark is suddenly cool. It's not. Especially if it's for seemingly no random reason. You could do less with talking about what pisses you off or you in general. I feel that you can be a proper Chat Thread poster if you just spend 2 minutes thinking about something interesting to say.
##Rochedan - 4.2
Lasting Impression: Instant disdain for games with bad graphics. He derisively calls all non-Crysis-esque games, "Flash Games".
I believe everything Tsang has said about him is pretty much my sentiment. The only reason he's this "high" on the list is because I don't get to see him all that often, and when not debating about things he likes is actually a pretty intelligent poster (almost the same caliber as TheOrg). He also delivers, which is more than I can say for some of the people lower on this list. That's it :I For more info, read Tsang's post.
##Guitarii - 4
Lasting Impression: The fact that he's everywhere and when he posts it's idea diarrhea.
Yes. Seven people are worse than Guitarii. It's that bad. I suppose this is a little bias seeing as I let the guy go after a year ban, but let's just say I'd rather keep em around than the guys below him. Not to say I will never re-ban him someday but he's like the lovechild of _Ai_ and harvie in terms of behavior, and that offers the tiniest sliver of hope that he can get better. A part of my reasoning is because I keep telling people that he was alot worse when he started before the year ban and most of the mods like tsang and cami can attest to my words. If you can't tolerate him, then try to please. PM him and let'em know what he's doing wrong. He'll listen.
##Alien - 3.3
Lasting Impression: I don't really remember and I'm not sure if it's real but I recall him being banned for a month for something really stupid. If that wasn't him then, being recently infracted ironically by Jeff for advertising The Dojo.
I personally havent't seen enough to judge. I may have clashed with him once on the Dojo channel and I remember it was a clean whoopin', but other than that I'll just say what I've been hearing and what I think. If I may make the analogy, you know how in Hentai, women magically start loving and accepting the rape after hours of pounding? That's Alien. He's the resident Buttmonkey that has after months of abuse, made him go native and wallow in his own crappy self-worth. The amount of times he admits to his own fagootry is stunning. And it doesn't seem like he's going to change anytime soon.
##Molgera - 3.2
Lasting Impression: Disagreeing with my prediction that his avie-changing ways will return after the kurisu fad blows over, only to immediately proceed to do it even until today.
Actually you have improved. Congratualtions on your 0.1 movement up the ladder. Significantly, you haven't been posting pointlessly as much, which was what my original writeup was about before I updated it for the now. I and quite a few would agree that asking for a re-rate is not only rude, but laughable. You can't turn on a dime and suddenly change for the better in the span of a week or a few days. And for god's sake, stop chanaging avies. Beyond that, I like your new direction in helping noobs out with the rules and your attention towards them when I called it out. But after fulfilling my predictions it's hard to take you seriously now.
##Triss - 2.6
Lasting Impression: Enthusiastically PM-ing me about requiring my help to start a tournament, then following NONE of my advice and letting it die.
Triss is probably a swell dude IRL. We know this because, if his posts are to be believed, he will drop everything and enjoy the good things in his life by completely disappearing from the site. Hey what you do with your time is your business buddy, but when you make commitments that have other people involved, that's where I draw the line. He made a tournament and abandoned EIGHT people. He held up a guy for TWO months and claimed to have required even more time when he finally posted his battle. And he gave the "temporary" reins of his clan to an active member, but never bothered to get back to him on any capacity. Triss is a conman who can dream up a storm but once you're all hooked in he just leaves. He might as well change his name to GrimmtheReaper2.0 because anything he touches, dies. So a word of warning to anyone: If Triss has an idea PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't feed into his BS. I'm not even going to go into his attitude towards other users and his Mafia stint because I'm afraid that might make his rating lower. But I will say this: Saying "I'll join if you let me." doesn't hide the fact that your passive aggressive shit is annoying. You always say this when I'm hosting games and it's really aggravating that you're trying to paint me as a bad guy if I don't let you in but once you're in, YOU LEAVE. God.
##kingkickass2013 - 2.3
Lasting Impression: Abhorrent disregard for reading ANYTHING important. Also, ironically even managing to get pissed by Triss for all the reasons stated above, when he pretty much does the same things in Mafia.
In some ways, KKA is like Triss (and it should be obvious seeing as they both hail from SE and write. Terribly.) The difference is, he mainly sticks to the places nobody goes to much, so he isn't as high on the annoyance radar as everyone else in this list. I like his enthusiassm for making events. They're terrible events but at least he sees them through and he calls them "successes". I'm sorry, but when 3 out of 6 people submit something and one of those take on 80% of the work, then I wouldn't ring the victory bell just yet. I would call it a personal success though so it isn't too bad. Despite being this low, kka is pretty okay...if only because he doesn't come by the Chat Thread at all.
##GrimmTheReaper - 1.8
Lasting Impression:Threatening to cross time and space to kick Jeff's ass. Uh-oh.
No rants here. I don't need to say anything. I think everyone who gives a damn knows why (I think) he's down here. And if that isn't proof enough, goto the Trash Bin and sort the threads by thread starter. Lookup Grinmm's name and brace yourself for the horrors of man. Whenever Grimm posts, I'm reminded of this one Asterix tale where the Romans send this Secret Special Agent to Gaul, in order to destabilize them and make them less cooperative. The Agent had the ability to cause anyone in his presence to RAGE even when he doesn't utter a word. It's uncanny.
Inb4 Grimm posts a counter-rant to complain. I accepted your apology, now let me state an opinion in peace.
##[Naimad]MatrixNinja2000 - 1
Lasting Impression: His ridiculous name-calling requirement. Always asking questions where the answer is already obvious or implied. And his pointless point-increasing posts which, after I called him out on it, proceeded to say he had changed. Guess what happened.
Like Grimm. I'm just going to leave this here:
*sigh* He's saying that not only are you (Naimad) not a very intelligent person, when you make an opinion and find that many disagree with you, you try to cover it up as if nothing happened or try to act like its no big deal to try to justify what you did wrong, which in itself is very detestable and enough of a reason for someone to express a heavy dislike for you.
Aaand harvie's at 0 so that's that. I've done it. I've rated and ranked all 50 users. This thread can finally end :D
Maybe we'll do something like this again next year, if they (or I) stick around long enough to be noticed. I hope you all enjoyed what this thread tried to do, and I hope we each learned a little more about ourselves.
Till then.
