I am posting this as a new topic because of the well-known forum bug.

Tornade wrote:
since [OFFENDING PLAYER NAME REMOVED] is convinced that i am an evil and hateful person...intent of imposing censorship to this website and at the same time threatening him with violence for speaking his mind as well as being a racist and a number of other things...
i am going to go to the community to as you to judge

if you want me to leave the site...post your comment and if you dont want me to leave...say as much

i will abide by the community decision


Dear Tornade,

I haven't been playing for a while on YouPlay, but I love this website (I have even created an "imitation" website of YouPlay), and come back every now and then to see how things are doing on the forum. I have read your posts and you always looked like a nice and decent person in the past.

I am sorry to say thay I disagree with what you posted, and that I think that your post is harmful, for several reasons:

1) your post is purely rhetorical. You are starting a witch-hunt against a user for his/her misconduct. Witch-hunts have never contributed to the peacefulness of communities, online as well as offline.

2) In most websites, the correct way to deal with a misbehaving user is to report privately to the Webmasters, who will decide what to do.

3) in making all this noise, you are forgetting rule 1: don't feed the troll. If you are attacked personally, just ignore. Try it, and you will see that this works very well against trolls.

4) you are blackmailing this community by asking everyone to support you... otherwise you will abandon the website. This is unnecessary and useless: the only real aim seems the desire to spark some flame/attention.

5) the side-effect of your post is that you are asking everyone on this community to feed the troll. So your post risks starting a troll-feeding chain-reaction.

Worse things than this have happened on this website in the past, and the Webmasters have always dealt with them very well, without ever (to my memory) banning everyone. Please trust them and play some Blue Max in the meanwhile
