Kolchak (DayZ) 5 Posted June 16, 2012 Is this really supposed to be news? This is predictable as clockwork. SA forums have been a wretched hive of scum and villainy since they were excreted upon the sidewalk so many years ago. They were pioneering ways to be jaded antisocial douches way before it was the trendy thing to do on the net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Virfortis 111 Posted June 16, 2012 Yes, everyone is destroying the internet, what else is new? We've had to fight harder than Disco to stay free because of people who think the internet should be without common courtesy.If the internet was a place where your face, real name, and general area (college, school, etc.) was made knowledgeable, just like the real world, these people wouldn't dare open their mouths or pull this stuff. It's the very essence of anonymity that removes the players need to act like a normal human being. Obviously, this isn't happening, but you get my point. Penny Arcade did this whole issue in one comic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone who trolls outside of the internet doesn't seem like a very nice person or fun to be with. Considering trolling is essentially being an asshole to make other people angry or upset in general, I don't see how someone who "trolls in real life" is pleasant to be around.

Quarex 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Is this really supposed to be news? This is predictable as clockwork. SA forums have been a wretched hive of scum and villainy since they were excreted upon the sidewalk so many years ago. They were pioneering ways to be jaded antisocial douches way before it was the trendy thing to do on the net.This was true in some ways in the past, particularly about 7-10 years ago, but as the forums became more generally popular, and as the focus of the front page became less about antagonizing people and more about general comedy, that attitude became a lot less prevalent.It would not surprise me if the percentage of Goons who hack or duplicate items or whatever were basically the same as the percentage of people from Reddit or 4Chan or 9Gag or 15cx who do those things. It is just that the Goons are more likely to identify themselves as such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many of them do you see outside of work/school/internet or speak to on a regular basis?

PiddlePuss 0 Posted June 17, 2012 In case anyone hasn't been reading the thread on SA, "wuat" here is "Slamscooty" there. I.E. - someone that nuked Cherno repeatedly and destroyed hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of work for people that did nothing other than dare to try to enjoy a game fairly. I never got hit myself, cause I've been too busy prepping for some things, but my little brother did get hit in one of the attacks, and ended up pretty upset. Then again, if you read further back in that thread, SA goons think making kids cry is just fine and dandy, like liquor and candy. It's just how they roll. (Fucking retarded.)Rocket - please ban wuat as soon as possible. He deserves nothing less. He may not be Hitler himself, but he's just as bad as Goebbles.
