Hell no. Let that kid keep up the negativity. It just makes the Blazers play better and him look more idiotic.

No-please do not attempt to reverse the reverse-curse. It's been working. Ride this horse 'til it dies!

GIDDY UP!

 

[SnakeOiler]

Fuck the reverse curse. That guy is a shit stirring troll. Unbelievable that mods would allow it. Since when is in your face confrontationalism good for any forum.

is that possible? for him to look more idiotic?

MIXUM is trying to push your buttons, not be right about basketball. Looks like he's pretty successful at it. A thread "calling him out" for being wrong is exactly what he wants.

Just in case you weren't aware.

Im well aware this is what he feeds off. I know him. But for once, I want him to post something positive, but I know that won't happen.

You want someone who's here to try to make you angry to post something nice about your favourite team? Heh, okay.

He might, in order to further frustrate you later. I'm amazed that people who are agitated by MIXUM don't just ignore him, the way they'd ignore people they dislike in real life.

Amen. Just ignore him. He feeds off the attention.

I am able to physically avoid people that I dislike in real life. Every time I come on here, I'm presented with at least 2-3 threads started by him with some bullshit trollish subject. So to ignore him, I'd have to stop coming here. And then he wins. Fuck that.

Except, it doesn't make me angry, just makes me feel sad to think the kind of life he lives. And I don't go out of my way to ignore people.

Ban the guy!

To ignore him, you could simply stop paying attention to him. Instead, you create post after post after thread dedicated to him. And so he wins.

I pretty much skim past MIXUM posts. Not because he annoys me, just because he doesn't say anything insightful so it's a waste of time to read him. MIXUM understands what bad journalists understand: if you write to piss people off, you'll generate a massive readership.

Or you can just not read/respond to his posts...

This is precisely it. I get that this is all a gimmick for him to get attention. What I DON'T get is WHY anyone needs to create a douchebag online persona and spend so much time getting negative attention from random strangers on the internet. I'd imagine if you live even a halfway normal life, you wouldn't need to try so hard to get attention like this on a forum. Sad.

 

[The Professional Fan]

This is a really bad idea for a thread. We've all been part of the webz for years and years and years. You'd think we'd all know how to kill a troll.........

It's not that hard.

 

[maxiep]

I'm not going to let someone like Rudy detract from a terrific Blazer victory. What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall in the Heat locker room.

 

[Loyalty4Life]

If you make a thread about MIXUX, he wins.

Charlie Sheen was right.

Sounds a lot like trolling. Yet, when you were a mod, you did nothing about it. Interesting.

The mods on here have proven many times that they don't care about trolling. They coddle and encourage MIXUM to continue his antics. To hope for the mods to do their job and moderate this message board is, I guess, wishful thinking.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, but thanks for trying.

Personal attack!

Apparently not. S2 is unique in its guidelines of encouraging trolls, it seems.

What would you have us do?

You are asking me now? I clearly have no idea, you said it yourself, then you belittled me and acted high and mighty with your "thanks for trying" comment.

MIXUM is only taking advantage of a system that tolerates his behavior, and if you choose to think there's nothing wrong with his behavior, then you are just as bad as he is and will be part of the eventual downfall of this message board, like 3-4 Blazer message boards that preceded it. Someday, someone will create a Blazer message board that have some mods with balls, who aren't afraid to cut an obvious troll off at the knees (and will have the stones to tell said troll to go fuck him/herself if he/she complains) and encourage a healthy, honest debate about the team without dealing with some jerkoff who gets his/her jollies from pissing people off.

You accuse us of not caring or doing our jobs, yet you have the nerve to act offended when I tell you that you have no idea what you're talking about? Or are you privy to the thoughts and actions of every single mod in the blazer community? Maybe you'd like to enlighten me on how I feel about Mixum or what I've done to try to prevent the constant drama and strife that plagues this board? Or were you just talking out of your ass?

I didn't have unilateral ban power. In any case, even if I did, I wouldn't have. I don't believe in bans for anything that isn't disruptive to using the forum, and I don't believe the forum has ever been unusable. Certainly, people have claimed it was...and then continued on using it.

I'm sure you'll reference rule #1, about good intentions, and I can honestly say I don't really understand how Denny defines it. I will say that I always gave this opinion about MIXUM, to admin or anyone else. I don't personally believe MIXUM, or anyone else, should be banned for trolling but I laid out my opinion of what MIXUM was doing. That's my view of it, and it was my view as a mod.

Personally, I don't believe there's much intellectual honesty to both claiming someone is a troll and continuing to post to and about him. I can understand one or the other, and I can understand wanting a troll banned, but I think you have to either be stupid or grandstanding to consider someone a troll and feed that selfsame troll constantly. And I don't consider anyone here stupid. And, to be clear, that comment isn't about you, blazerboy, as I know you don't post much about MIXUM.

Damned good idea. If I had the time, inclination and know-how, I'd do it But as is, I'm not holding my breath for this place to grow any such balls.

It's sad really. When I stumbled upon O-live and BBF a couple of years ago, I was really happy to find a place to hang out with fellow Blazer "FANS" and root for my beloved team. I don't live in Oregon anymore and I don't have any other local Blazermaniacs around here - so it was really nice to find an online home with other fans. Yet a handful of dipshits do their best every single day to sour the experience for the rest of us. I gave up posting here regularly long ago and have to wade through a bunch of idiotic posts every time I come here just to get to the useful bits of team info. It's a damned shame.

If/when you find this fantasy-land Blazer forum where obvious trolls are in fact banned, let me know and I'll be the first to join!

I accuse you and the other mods of not doing your jobs when someone like MIXUM can run roughshod over the board with his asshattery, and you and the rest of the mods just shrug your shoulders and mumble "just ignore him, maybe he'll go away" like pussies.

I don't really give a crap what your personal feelings are towards him, nor any of the other mods. You took the "job" to be a mod and then don't do anything with the power to clean up the board and end the drama that that guy brings EVERY SINGLE DAY. So to me that means you shouldn't be a mod, nor should Ed O. or any of the other spineless people who don't ban MIXUM yesterday for his YEARS of continued trolling and masturbatory jolly-seeking at the expense of people who have emotional investments in the fortunes of this team. If you collectively don't have the guts to ban him, then set his account to moderated and only allow his posts/threads to be vetted by a mod who gives a shit before they are submitted to the board (I don't know if that's a capability of this software, but if it's not, it should be).
