The CHIKA file.
For a reason which is lost to history, an AD poster called Chika began to post on GD a short time ago. At first, it appeared as if he might be accepted, albeit as a rather erratic and strange sort. But we have plenty of those already, and nothing seemed to be amiss.
However, Chika became a regular poster, and an increasingly obnoxious, arrogant, and inflamatory poster at that. He seemed to have serious difficulty in grasping the twin notions of restraint and decency.
In the last few days leading up to his ban, Chika became an increasing nuisance on GD, to the point where half of the forum was routinely chasing him through threads in order to tell him what an arse he was. This was clearly an intolerable situation, and he was given sufficent warning through PM that he should stop trolling, or be banned.
The following is the only known copy of these PM's to survive, from the aftermath of what was Chika's GD career.

This is called trolling by our definitions. This is not some kind of wonderful internet version of speakers corner; it is, in many ways, a club, and you accept both the rules of the club, and the need to adjust to the social niceities of the club. If you are not liked, or indeed actively disliked, by such a swathe of people on here as you currently are, then there is simply no way a moderator can defend you, even disreguarding their own personal opinions.
This aclimatisation does not, for example, involve being ridiculously obtuse, arrogant, foolish and presumptuous at every oppourtunity, as you have done since posting on GD.
Don't pretend that you can dodge this, because you can't. You either try and fit in to a reasonable degree, or you are gone.

You seem to be grossly unaware of the fact that people are only doing this in response to your own behaviour, which I have already described above.

Believe me, I do. There is not one person on here, either admin or moderator, who would contest a banning of you at the moment.

Re: The CHIKA file.
I still can't make my mind up over whether he was to any degree aware of how offensive he was being to people on here, and the likely reaction it would cause.

To be honest, I do not see why he was banned. Yes, he was a crap poster, but I wouldn't say he was specifically trolling for replies or disrupting the forum. He does have a point when he notes that a lot of personal attacks were made against him, which is equally against the forum rules.
Don't forget that GD is still a part of the Planetarion forums as a whole, not a forum on it's own. Banning someone because they're shit by GD standards would be fine and dandy if that were the case, but you are dealing with bigger forum rules here which should apply equally across all the forums.
There's several other posters who frequently make crappy posts (and are clearly delineated as such by a large amount of negative reputation) and draw a large amount of negative replies, but are not banned as such. The banstick pretty much is a last-resort issue for when someone is repeatedly and blatantly breaking the forum rules - posters which are simply shit should be dealt with on a community basis (be it through ignoring, discussion or the rep system).
Frankly people who follow Chika around replying "You're shit." to every post are more of a problem than Chika himself.

My reason for banning him was simply because he was making the normal running of GD simply impossible, by that point.
You simply cannot come on here, fresh from nowhere, and start saying people have huge egos, that they are generally not worth the time of day, and being horribly condescending towards them, and generally being objectionable in every way possible.
That is idiocy at best, trolling at worst.
I admit that by the end, it was largely a one way tirade against him. But that was merely a symptom of his earlier, stupid behaviour and could only be expected.
To end that you simply had to remove the problem - and he was not going to reform himself, nor were people going to easily forget his foolishness.

Re: The CHIKA file.
I believe then you can only ban the single account and any more that appear. You can do more drastic things like that, but it's not generally advisable.

Re: The CHIKA file.
Not impossible, but I don't really see why we should go out of our way to award special priviledges to people.
I mean, you can see what I wrote above. He could have just stopped posting on GD if he was all that bothered about losing his account.
And considering the fact that he routinely said we were generally fools who posted about drivel, I don't even see why he was bothering posting on here to begin with if not to merely provoke people.

Re: The CHIKA file.
i still say unban him - the first ban was reasonable, the second one was kinda not.. anyway, i'm sure the AD guys will be more than happy to police his actions here on GD and will be willing to reason with him

Re: The CHIKA file.
You see, I find this astonishing, because I considered the first ban something of a joke. I did that because I thought he, being new, clearly had not grasped the fundamental basis of GD. I thought it would both be popular and would give him pause for thought, so everyone would win.
I was wrong on the second count. It didn't. He continued much as before, and the situation simply became ridiculous. And it would simply be a repetition of that if we unbanned him. I don't believe we really want that.
You can't 'police' someone like that, when every post they make may start a flame war.

Re: The CHIKA file.
If he's broken the rules he pays like any other user and serves the ban, in my view.
He's not liked on AD but once you get past his general attitude there are some interesting salient points on PA, so i have little problem with him.
The difference is that on AD you have to be uber strict on insulting others and ensure people keep on topic as otherwise it just descends into some shit petty flamewar. Not that I know anything about modding GD.

Re: The CHIKA file.
Without knowing all the details**, granted, it sounds alot like this person got banned simply because you people didn't like him or cared for what he had to say. If thats the case, then you guys are pretty shitty yourselves.
Myself speaking, I've been coming here since my join date to garnish myself with an interesting perspective (its a good laugh most of the time) on things going on in the world. I don't take anything personally that is said about my opinions and I try to overlook blatant ignorance and biggotry as best as possible; in that respect, most everyone here would probably be well to do the same.
Back to Chika though, do you not see whats wrong with banning someone just because he posts a few racy replies? Basically what his banning tells me is that if you have an opinion, however outlandish it may be, and enough people don't like it, the good folks at GD will kick you out of their "club". I'm sure Chika was really hurt by the banning too. If I got banned for the things I was saying here, then I would (on some sort of level) feel a sense of accomplishment.
The net result of his banishment is only going to be encouraging others to follow in his foot steps. So good job guys, your "club" has become a better place. Free of all those nasty disonant opinions that inspire people to actually waste 15 or 20 minutes typing up a reply.
Sincerely yours,
Rehs
** As far as 'the details' are concerned, I took the time to read over some of Chika's recent posts on GD,. I really hope that he wasn't banned just for those, as that would be quite pathetic.

I suppose the only comparison (however poor) is Sunday. Needless to say, I don't think he should have been banned either.

Re: The CHIKA file.
He posted shit, was unnecessarily aggressive and then didn't modify his behaviour when warned (and banned) by the mods. Thus he was banned. What's the problem? The lesson is : Don't be shit, but if you are, at least try and tone it down when the mods call you on it. Christ, even Sunday used to go easy for a bit after he was warned.
The internet is full of pathetic little attention seekers going round being internet warriors. They thrive on the controversy (and will generally say they are being 'controversial'). They rarely learn.

Re: The CHIKA file.
I agree with Leshy.
Perhaps unban him in a few days? That way, he's had his slap on the wrist and seen what will happen if he continues to be shit. If he continues to be an arse, then he can be permanently banned.

Not really. There are plenty of "agitating" British posters on the internet. On this forum the dominant group are British so the "rebels" are often from other countries. I don't think there's anything inherently about one group or another. See also : lots of people's behaviour here over on the DF3 forums.

No.
edit : I think a lot of people don't understand why people are banned. Someone neg repped one of my previous comments saying "lots of people as dumb as him [Chika] are allowed to keep posting". Very true. But people aren't banned for being "dumb". They are banned for being disruptive (and generally aggressive.) If people were banned on the basis of stupidity then...<insert list of users who would have been banned long ago>

Re: The CHIKA file.
I dont think he should have been banned. He wasnt being offensive and GD needs some place to vent it's rage. If there are no bad posters, how can there be good posters?

Re: The CHIKA file.
I don´t think he should have been banned.
He should have been torn to four pieces by rabid horses on speed. Whilst burning.
No seriously now, ofcourse his ban is 100% okay. I see people´s reactions vary on this and I really don´t understand why.
If someone comes to your house, insults your family, and pisses against the walls, would you ask him to go; or will you go in to discussion with him on the fact that he called one of your family members a ****, while one other familymember is loading his gun and another is calling his friends jusuf, mahmet, ali, ibrahim and mustafa and their 88 family members to invite them to come over?
Clearly you make him leave at some point.
Discussing over what made him behave like this or if he was right or not to piss against the walls here is the worst form of socialism ever. The group needs protection as well, not just the one sorry individual.

Re: The CHIKA file.
he was seriously annoying me.
non-constructive posts.
overly-aggressive.
very presumptive.
He was warned to modify his behaviour and he didn't. In fact I think he got worse.
Maybe a permanent ban is too much but if he was let back and was still just as shit then that would be a final final straw.
I seriously think that's enough GD discussion on the matter tho.

Re: The CHIKA file.
he was rude and pointless
and didnt put up a good fight to back himself up
him 'my only opinion on anything is that you are all wrong and i am fabulous and clever and wonderful'
us 'you are a tit, please bugger off'
him 'you are so closed minded and stupid that you cant accept my different opinion'
us 'you are a tit, now bugger off'
him 'you are all mean, i am going to tell on you, i am wonderful and you are stupid'
us 'piss off or be banned'
him ' you suck, i am wonderful'
us 'goodbye'
forced removal sounds fair to me

Re: The CHIKA file.
the problem is, that no matter how crap some people are, they still OCCATIONALLY make good posts, or at least don't try and break the status quo, chika went out of his way to post shit, there is no other word for it, therefore he deserved to be banned

Re: The CHIKA file.
For anyone who might doubt the reasons he was banned, allow me to display an excerpt from this thread:

Thats what they are doing for iraq. Those people were slaves in thier own land, and ruled under an iron fist. They were hungry, and homeless, and a terrorist was a "common" occupancy there. Now its not. Maybe if the Americans wouldn't have had the balls to step up, someone else would have, BUT we would have been laughing at thier mistakes though. Because noone is perfect.

Now that is either trolling, or the mindless arrogant dribblings of someone so uninformed about history, politics and world events in general that he fully deserves some time on his own to do some background reading.
From the context I assume he is American, and unfortunately he appears to be participating in that most annoying of right-wing American habits: when you don't have any basis for what you are saying, spout patriotic condescending bullshit.
MM has done us all a favour really.

I replied with exerpts from an HP Lovecraft short story.
[edit]
And to the nay-sayers (on the topic of the ban), he was disrupting things to such an extent that as soon as he posted in a thread, by and large the thread became a thread about him.

Oh, I know. It might just make it more obvious to new posters that we won't put up with them if they're shit.

Re: The CHIKA file.
I dont think Chika should be banned.
I have just looked through a dozen or so threads where he posted and to be honest he didnt seem too offensive at all - maybe to the over sensetive type but noone else.
What is did see though was a lot of people baiting him up. Yes there were personal insults there too and certain posters who appeared as though they couldnt stand him. And some of his posts might be considered sh*t, but that doesnt mean he should be banned.
How I see it is the forum has an ignore option that everyone is free to use if a certain poster rubs them up the wrong way or if they find anything they have to say of no interest, those who really didnt like his posts could have used that. Secondly we now have a reputation system to allow other users to make individuals aware of those posts they find unsatisfactory.
In my view, people calling for him to be banned are worse than any 'sh*t' poster could ever be, noone here has the right to call for another user to be banned.
He didnt appear to break any of JJ's rules - Clause 1 is a bit of a joke rule isnt it so using that as a reason is a bit sill. I mean, how can a moderator who self confesses to having mood swings between suicide one day and euphoria the next be in any way trusted with such a general, egotistical rule as that?
Unban Chika I say.

The problem is he is a paying pa player, the question then arises does he have more of a right than others to post here, his behaviour on GD was shit, on AD he is quite a good poster imo, even if it is sometime anti my alliance, but I still take time to read his posts, maybe a solution would be ban him from GD, but still allow him access on AD and PD?

Of course not.
(And, since 95% of GD regulars don't play PA and see the fact that GD is part of the "Planetarion Forums" as more of an interesting factoid than a defining feature, if someone (Jolt presumably) introduced a rule like that, we could quite easily create a new forum somewhere else. They're ridiculously easy to set up, and we could have the same admin, the same mods, the same posters, just without all the Jolt/PA rubbish (hello Biffy) we have to put up with here.)

Re: The CHIKA file.
Paying for PA does not guaruntee the right to post on the forum.
As such you have as much right as anyone else to post, and if you are a tit then you get banned same as anyone else.

Re: The CHIKA file.
i aggree with both of your points, but my point is that AD and PD are part of planetarion as a game to a certain extent, hence my argument allow him to post there and not GD?

Re: The CHIKA file.
lets face it, he didn't fit in, he didn't try and fit in, he had a superiority complex, because he came from AD he was better than 'us' (us being GD)
He was arrogant, obnoxious, and worse, he displayed nothing that could add to this forum
he deserved the ban

Re: The CHIKA file.
I like chika in threads out of GD he doesnt seem like an evil poster of sorts but then again havent really read anything in GD to see what provokes everyone to abuse him.
I know that once GD gets a chance to though and you mess up saying 1 wrong thing in the wrong place like a did then yes you will get flamed rather badly but what the heck i dont mind being flamed gives you GD guys something to do
p.s if you don't pay for PA you should be allowed an account in the forums just from the fact its a forum and just coz you PAY for PA should'nt give you special liberties on a Board with nothing to do with PA on. But I think you should be able to ban on indiviual boards only.

So how exactly are you justifying banning someone over "I am wonderful", and not the rest for "You are a tit, bugger off"? Are those latter posts of a higher quality? Did anyone force anyone to follow Chika around pointing out his idiocy?
It seems to me like the banstick was used merely to assert authority over someone. Chika's posts may have been hideously stupid and misinformed, but then QDeathstar has made posts which were equally shit, and he's still around. So clearly that's not the criterium. Sunday8PM lasted for ages on the forum, and he did a far better job at trolling and being offensive than Chika, if that was his attempt. So that can't be the criterium either.
And if Chika's posts were so inflammatory that they were disruptive, why were they simply not deleted? I remember from my time as a moderator that we were pushing more to taking an active role and actually moderate posts individually if needed, rather than immediately going "STOP OR I BAN YOU" mode.
I have not personally seen Chika do anything that was in clear violation of the forum rules, or that couldn't have been ignored. I do see half the forum jumping on the bandwagon and declaring Chika shit at every possible point, thereby turning him and his into a disruption, whether that was his intention or not. I have not seen any "Guys, we've deleted some posts from threads by Chika and replies to him. If he takes things off-topic, simply use the Report Post button, don't go flame him 20 times."
Just my two cents.

The word is "criterion".

I believe that he stated quite clearly that he is no longer a paying player,so he would not get that non-existant protection.
Did he not also post that he was essentially coming here to wind people up with a view to getting removed from the community?
