Dies to Removal

Col. Khaddafi

I must have been possessed by some evil force. I ended up here.

Col. Khaddafi

Well I have 554 posts over at MTGS, those count for this site right?

Actually spiderman memes are considered contraband in MTGS since one staff member once got very offended by one meme I posted while I was also staff. They are fine in here though.

Col. Khaddafi

Whoever posts a 60's spiderman meme within his first 10 posts gets my appreciation

Col. Khaddafi

One of the MTGS mods called the people who leaked MTGS sale to Curse "Internet Terrorists and Anarcists" (sic) in a mod lounge thread (which was later leaked).

Since then, Terrorist has become a catchphrase to define "whoever disagrees vehemently with the staff on MTGS"

Col. Khaddafi

I told them when I get ci access back I want to make a ci thread about it so ill probably be banned for being a terrorist.

Once they start banning people/restricting people's access due to allegations of terrorism, it just means the Terrorists already won.

Col. Khaddafi

I want to appeal my ban but what would scumbag post ?
he'd make 10,000 dtr posts about the dangers of appealing

In a nutshell, yes

Col. Khaddafi

You have been banned for the following reason:
Hi N_S!

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

That's the chump right? He thinks he has all my gimmicks covered, he's so cute.

Col. Khaddafi

Can't wait to post senes reason why once I'm no longer mobile and can quote it over here, basically a combination of "you're kpaca" and I have a dissenting opinion.

I bet there is somewhere in that passive-agressive post of the likes: "you are critical of the staff/trolling the staff on other sites, so this played a role in your CI banning too."

Col. Khaddafi

Bring him here.

This site might just be too liberal for him. It's not even hosted in America, let alone in the Bible belt.

Col. Khaddafi

Speaking of which, I'm surprised they didn't make "retired" magic poster jeffbcrandall a mod lounge consultant yet. What are they waiting for?

Col. Khaddafi

Summary for those who don't want to (or can't) look:

> guy says "SCG is bad for Magic" (in relation to price gouging/market manipulation)
> mod infracts, claiming "accusations without proof are trolling"
> original guy posts details of a communication with Ben Bleiweiss as evidence of original comment
> admin infracts second post as trolling --> upgrades to suspension
> jeffbcrandall posts 50000 words defending SCG
> Ben Bleiweiss shows up and confirms everything original guy said
> CI thread started; infractions/suspension upheld; mod trots out the good ol' [Interpretation of the Forum Rules is always at the discretion of the MTGSalvation staff] defense; refuses to comment further.

For the record, trolling/flaming
now applies not just to users, but to companies/organisations/non-person entities "by virtue of being an indirect attack on the ownership / manager / employee."

Serves them right for abusing and harassing the staff by means of complaining in CI threads.

Infractions for everyone!

Col. Khaddafi

rake 12 more posts and wait a little less than 2weeks

Col. Khaddafi

But yea, essentially they were duplicitous cowards who lied to everyone (people they once called 'friends' included) in order to perpetrate a scheme against a harmless community of posters with PG-13 sensibilities. They covered up for a grown man having an emotional meltdown over an internet power trip (Rianalann) and decided to accuse anyone critical of them for slander, malicious actions, etc.

My favorite post on that Bannings thread on CI was this one, elegant in its simplicity:

So you guys lied about everything and banned everyone.

Cool!

Col. Khaddafi

Well we in our community weren't having that much fun. Bear in mind that they were discussing about shutting down an old group of tight-knight friends and we didn't even had a backup plan a the time (the offer to host us from this site came later).

I'm not proud of it, but I admit I was internet mad for the first time in my life because of this. I managed to calm down like one moth or two later when I thought this was ridiculous and stopped participating in the discussions, so I just said I'd stop posting elsewhere than in the gutter.

Then out of the blue (coincidence?) Sene banned me and went to bed. The rest is history.

Col. Khaddafi

Or I was just an normal honest guy before iridium turned me into an internet monster. Who knows?

Col. Khaddafi

And to think you once suggested that I not lie on the internet

tbf I was just trolling

Col. Khaddafi

I have one dedicated browser just for posting on Sally. I can never go wrong.

Also I make a point out of registering a least two new gimmicks whenever they catch one. I haven't made this much new ones though, given their general incompetence.

Col. Khaddafi

I mean, to this day I'm still dumbfounded about all this. Never in my all life I've seen people lying for so long about so many stuff. And to think that I saw this happen on an internet forum about magical cards even baffles me more, as I'd just expect such kind of stuff to happen over more serious IRL shit.

So many effing BS. The Closure of the Gutter thread, The "you guys harassed an innocent bystander but we're not telling who", the Gutter-Pegging staff endless discussions, banning everyone and slandering them to boot by announcing everyone was banned for malicious actions against the website, like if we were some master hackers or something. I mean at some point you have to admire the effort these guys put in weaving such an intricate web of lies. Goddamn, it takes serious internet dedication to pull such a feat!

Like people like Nai should have countless internet trophies for all the quality deception
they pulled for moths. Hot damn!

Col. Khaddafi

Speaking of old shit, I found the most interesting thing Boub posted while he was here was the following.

3. The purchase happened in December. Before that, it was just negotiations and people hearing about it, the discussion has been going on for months (like, 6 months+)

I thought 6+ months ? that would be just before the announced closure of the Gutter thread.

That is indeed a very good catch, well played Blackhound.

In my country there is a saying that goes: "You will catch a liar faster than a cripple". Not that we were still doubting that we were continuously lied to, but its nice to see someone trip over his lies.

Really, very good catch.

Col. Khaddafi

Btw, speaking of Curse, I kinda overlooked this one:

Col. Khaddafi

Also taking into account that while he was encouraging me from appealing a ban that was outright arbitrary, he was posting shit like the one quoted below in the comfort of his mod lounge.

I am truly deeply sorry for not being willing to appeal but I'm here to discuss things calmly with people earnestly interested in establishing an honest dialogue. What I'm not here is to entertain the fantasies of internet rapists.

I am also deeply sorry that my wife was involved in shit that had nothing to do with her just become some nobody had a huge internet grudge about some random guy who lives in another continent.

I just reread this all and I get the impression that you might think I am saying no more bans - That is not the case. I do not want people like Tormod, who really aren't that disruptive but are one infraction away from being banned permanently, to have some room to work with us. I think that for a lot of semi-trouble users long suspensions will be just fine and I want us to be more liberal in issuing those. But full on bans need to be reserved for seriously ****ed up things and the worst people on the site. The unmoderatable.

People that I think suspensions are okay with that we've had issues with:
(...)

Banned:
( N_S ) - He's been okay lately off site, but as recently as 2 weeks ago was browsing CI with Pinkfloyd's account. I started piecing together his personal history and he's been an absolutely unrelenting since Fall of 2011. There is a wake of destruction in his path that goes back at least that far. He is just too damaging to the site for me to
believe that he can ever NOT be a problem that will take out staff members.
Rippers - They stole stuff.
(...)

Sooooo, that's where I am at with that.

Col. Khaddafi

I'm so fucked up as a functional human being at this point that when you said My Gal I thought you mean Galspanic

No, Galspanic is the guy who banned my Gal from MTGS after I've told him there wasn't any chance I'd ever appeal in the rape cave. That was the lowest I've ever seen the guy drop.

Col. Khaddafi

Seriously I haven't played in like a month. so goddamn busy

Col. Khaddafi

Guess who is not reaping any trophies in Blood Dragon tomorrow night.

Col. Khaddafi

My Gal just bought singstar so I'm just posting here while she is doing karaoke all by herself. Says she wants to train for tomorrow when she brings other broads to a song battle tomorrow.

Col. Khaddafi

Holy shit Stifle. When he posted just after Magic Magic I had double the Internet hard-on

Col. Khaddafi

Notice how cute Talore was, playing his "I can be a witty gutterite too!" routine

Col. Khaddafi

Yup, that's I never posted one single time in the gutter and got verbally harassed in for no reason Matt/m00se right there. Just one of the innumerous lies that the staff pulled on us I guess
