Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

You didn't like political user titles, yet you have one.

Quote from: Azure Lord;561763Why is Ghost Whistler a shill, exactly?
He's a bit like another poster that got banned recently, pseudoprine or something. He waits until there is a thread which might draw attention to therpgsite, or say someone puts up an advert for the rpgsite, then goes on a demented jig of threadcrapping to make the place look bad. That pseudo character followed the same pattern, adding just enough value to make a quick banning unlikely, but afterwards it was off to the big purple to do a spasticated victory dance of some sort.

Having spent a considerable amount of time in politics, I can tell you that the tactic is not uncommon, particularly from a certain parish. The best part about this strategy is (he believes) he can abuse other people and threadcrap to his hearts extent then play the bullying card when he's rightly called on it.

Sad really.

Bullshit, too.

I have never threadcrapped here at all. You're just pissy because someone had the nerve to criticise your half baked plan to troll rpg.net while claiming the moral high ground about how this site is better than that. NO threadcrapping involved.

If you're concerned about the image this site portrays and that certain users might damage that in some way i'd start looking a little more closely to home.

So to answer the question you were asked: not shilling at all.

Quote from: Ghost Whistler;561407What is 'it' that you think I'm doing? What am I supposed to be spiteful about or that I'm envious of?

And I notice you still haven't changed your user title even though you didn't like it when I took a political stance with mine. Hypocritical much?

Pundit's actual user title is "Administrator".

Pundit also makes the rules here. Not happy with that? Fine. Discuss them rationally, put up with them, or leave.

I wouldn't vote conservative if my life depended on it, but your user title was fucking stupid. This is a gaming board. Go and discuss politics on a politics board.

I thought I well established earlier that Ghost Whistler is nothing more than a sub-literate trolling buffoon with too little comprehension of which he speaks and far too much time on his hands to explain it.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

I think you know what i mean by user title. No need to be coy.

I'm well aware pundit makes the rules. In fact up until about a month/month and a half ago I would have said this was a very good site. But that has completely changed. I don't actually know why, but I don't really care for bullying. In fact I was more than happy to have rational discourse, but that comes from all parties involved and because of the behaviour of the modclique that is was and will never be possible. When criticising the decision to troll rpg.net, which is exactly what the advert was, don't pretend otherwise, gets you the ceaseless ire of people that think any kind of hypocrisy in response is justified, you know there's nio chance of rational discourse.

Lots of people's user titles were and are stupid. That's kind of the point. it's a silly little thing people can use to identify themselves. Pretending they are anything more is laughable. As I said at the time I have no problem with changing it, which i did. What I have a problem with is the rampant hypocrisy that suggests 'this machine kills fascists' is neither aggressive nor political. It's both regardless of where it originated. In fact if my user title was so offensive why didn't he ask me to change it earlier? It had been on display for long enough, he's read my posts, as potentially had everyone else. Noone had ever said anything to me, so clearly it wasn't offensive.

You can have whatever rules you like, but if you choose to apply them in an arbitrary and inconsistent fashion then you earn the right to be called a hypocrit.

What is it that i have failed to comprehend, o wise one? Not once can any of you sad little trolls ever back up your criticism, which is why you are nothing more than a troll yourself.

This thread is not, nor has it ever been the Ghostwhistler soapbox thread.

Want to stick it to the man? Start your own forum up.

Now shut up about GW (and you GW, shut the fuck up about yourself).

It's tiresome, shows that people have got fuck-all else useful to talk about and for a wonder on this site is taking up my time with reports.

WE GET IT GW! You don't like the advert. Get over it for fuck sake. It's not your money. It's not your site. But it is my time.

I don't understand your way of thinking.  You assume some nefarious, well thought out plan.  You assume an intelligent, designed path that such posters travel down.  You envision strategy and tactics.

That's nonsense man.  People can believe in a heartfelt manner what they're writing, and still be both wrong and assholes.  There need be no grand plan behind it, and there almost never is.  Occam's razor is your friend.  Don't make it more complicated that it really is.

He's just a dumbass.  It's as simple as that.
