Gopher, to clarify my position on this matter after reading your comments. I understand the concept of leaving the forums uncensored, and support that general principle. But please, yourself. You and the rest of the moderator team are ignoring Enriador's disruptive behavior. This is not a matter of disagreements in a forum discussion. Enriador is spamming the forums in his egotistical quest for more and more accolades for his mediocre variants because he's not getting the praise he craves through normal channels. The reason I suggested locking the thread was because Dr. Recommended posted a question above, asking if 'we needed another one of these threads?' Do we need one? Of course not. What we need is for the moderators to moderate the site. Clearly the other idiot moderator opining above on this conversation is incapable of understanding disruptive behavior, probably because he endorses it and cheers on such cheeky bullshit antics. But maybe you will consider the fact that Enriador's praise craze is adversely affecting the community, and take some action to mitigate this. Specifically this assclown is clogging the threads with multiple conversations, and endless 'must have the last word' retorts to a never ending debate about his lame variants that no one wants in the first place.
If you prefer to quibble with the numbers and say that only 10 players object, then so be it. Stick you head in the sand like your smartass do-nothing douchebag colleague on the mod team. At least two moderators (Leif, and Dr, Recommended) have noted that this stuff is a problem, and attempted in polite fashion to make it stop. The problem is not the lame variants, debate, or even the absurdity of the positions taken up by Enriador. The problem is that we cannot read the forums because he won't shut up. He has to keep the conversation going to keep himself in the limelight. It's not just me saying this. It's other long term members of the community like drano, Retillion, and YCHTT. It younger, but commited players like ubercacher, and Sky_Hopper. It's not a few fly by night players in for a game or two and bolt players. These are knowledgeable and experienced hobbyists and VDip veterans, and not ones who typically march in lockstep agreement on anything. There's likely many other annoyed by the inability to follow the forums for new games, tournaments. results/standings, announcements because there are a half dozen Enriador related threads dominating the forum. The reason we have threads like this is because the Mod team refuses to moderate.
