There are 14 new posts.  This should illustrate the kind of drama that SS13 causes.

Hey Kaiserr:

Go up to the top of the thread and find you post. Towards the top right of it, there should be a button that says "Edit" with a tiny icon. Click that to change anything in your post. You can change the title of the thread too. Then you can include all your relevant information in the first post and the title. Most forums have something like this, so now you know!

Anyway, for those of you who don't play Space Station 13, it's actually really dwarfy: Everyone is aboard an incredibly complex space station, and all sorts of things can go wrong. It's almost like being a dwarf in a fortress, really. You can look up the game's wiki to get some ideas. The most popular mode is one where a person designated traitor at the beginning of the game has to fulfill objectives of killing other players, stealing things or sabotaging the station and get out alive.

It's very RP heavy and involved though, so it's probably the, and I do not say this lightly, single most drama prone game on the internet. Not only are there often altercations between players due to the teamwork-with-traitors nature of the game, admins are subjected to a lot of crap and can potentially cause a lot of crap too. There's even rival builds of the game itself, with arguments and drama going on between developers (the most popular build is run by Something Awful, but we have one as well). Not only that, but some of the admins on the bay12 server have a reputation for being real hardasses.

tl;dr: I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm not surprised at all that some community hates us (or we hate someone, or someone hates anyone else) over something that transpired in regards to Space Station 13. And autistic insults are a pertty common thing to be raised towards moderators in particular. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

AoD: Obviously we need to look at it, then gloat about our superiority and how we're clearly more mature and chill that those peoples.

The Truth: Revealed.

But we already have a circlejerk thread for that. (not that I dont like this place, quite the opposite)

Well I think I am going to wipe my account now,join again at an indefinite time and this time try to stay away from some of the people on here who think they are badass just cause they can pelt me with ridiculous comments and replies/

You need to chill out. Seriously. You can't expect everyone on the Internet to respond positively to absolutely everything you do, and I really don't know what you expect changing your name to fix.

A change of identity obviously.

[G-Flex]

Do you really think we care that much, or that people here are going to hold some kind of vendetta against you? Jesus Christ, stop taking everything so personally. If you make a thread a month from now and someone sees it, it probably won't matter in the slightest whether your forum name is Kaiserr or BeatnikDrummer2022 or JoeyFromFriends. What would matter is the actual content. Care more about what you actually do and spend less mental energy worrying about who on the Internet supposedly hates you.

Hell, maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I don't even see anything wrong with that post you copy-pasted in here a few posts back, aside from the out-of-place fairly-homophobic image at the end. What's the big deal?

[Kaiserr]

Kaisser, have you seen the rest of the internet? we don't think we are badasses, but we DO have standards. This isn't the minecraft forum, you can't just make a thread with minimal content and expect us to take it well. The best threads are ones with a good original post, highlighting something, with quotes etc. and a non (or less)-aggressive OP.

"This isn't the minecraft forum"
Wow.

Quite frankly put, they werent ridiculous and as long as you dont realize that, you will be pelted again.

Your faults have been pointed out. If you cant handle that and start responding to things in ways that you shouldnt, then this will happen again. This isnt a "you suck" speech, this is simply the reality of the situation.

An account wipe is unnecessary. I honestly wont remember you if you change your avatar. And I dont think anyone here is in a habit of digging up dirt.(and if they are, then I will be happy to give them a "You suck!" speech)

EDIT: So many replies.
EDIT2: Basically chill the fuck out and figure out what went wrong. Stop responding. Stop digging a deeper hole.

[LordSlowpoke]

You are now aware that thread was created with the sole purpose of attracting the response we're seeing from the OP.

Tut tut.

Also, D2 doesn't really like circlejerks. Take it from a regular.

[GlyphGryph]

I have no clue what is going on this thread, but your welcome for the avatar thing.

[Zangi]

Amplify your relaxed state.

@Kaiserr, as it has been said, people here won't remember this thread, nor you, in a month's time.  Don't get yourself stressed over this, it is the interwebs. 
Also, don't get yourself stressed over people in other communities saying bad things about the Bay12 community or any of its off-shoot communities for that matter.  It happens, we are guilty of that ourselves.  Ain't gonna change things in the end.

Also, your snarky replies to people asking for more information ain't winning ya any respect around these here parts...

And assuming your own online community is perfect and immune to criticism is how awful circlejerks start anyway.

[cerapa]

If I am right, there is a "lock thread" button that you can press. It won't be deleted, but it will sink to the bottom of the forum, and be forgotten.

Or he could PM Toady(or report himself).

I dont think he would have any objection to deleting this thread if Kaiserr wants it deleted.

this thread is terrible and we are all personally responsible for what it has become

[ductape]

lets explore what hugbox means. I have no idea but it sound nice and i think i need one.

Like hell I am.


In internet terms, a hugbox is a place where you can be shielded from opinions that aren't your own.  It's why people who spend too much time on the internet are too fucked up.  A hugbox is an echo chamber where your views are amplified until they're beyond all sanity.
