Tipperary got banned!?

By OneKelvin, in X-Wing Off-Topic

I just was wondering where he had gotten off to; I hadn't heard from him since I had gotten back into the forum-ing thing.

So, I was reading through my old posts, and I got down to the topic where me and JoeBoss were sparring over TIE defenders:

I hate TIE Defenders...

:angry:

Fine I won't end you.

This time.

I make all kinds of glorious STAR WARS Emotes... cause.

:lol:

I have a couple hundred on my profile-page-thingie.

And there, right there in the middle is this:

My one, single, solitary regret with the whole pack is that it doesn't come with PS1/PS2 pilot cardboard.

Because I want to add these suckers to my collection and fly them as a matter of routine. ;)

Considering how many of each upgrade the pack comes with, you're probably best-off buying 1-2x of each standard expansion and 1 copy of Vets.

And there's his profile picture: and he's BANNED. :o

When?

Why?

Whyyy?!

Was it just because he was a jerk? So what?! He was one of the most honest jerks on this forum.

He was a very interesting guy, one that I had a lot of long and informative discussions with, and I'd just like to know why one of my forum friends got banned.

:(

He's been banned for around a year now AFAIK. I'm pretty sure it was either his comments on TFA, or laying on Joe too much, but something got him banned. Don't know what it was. This all came up a couple weeks ago when PGS was banned.

PGS was banned, how did I miss that?

Wait.....PGS was banned?!?!? When did that happen? Why specifically did it happen? I mean, I can kind of see it coming, but....

I'll miss him. His stance on playing to win and game balance was always extreme and I often didn't agree with it, but **** he had some cool ideas for squadrons. That Boba/Vader I definitly boost last squad? Pure gold.

I always figured half if not more of that was a character he was playing... But he either was doing it to troll people or just didn't care that it was really the effect his posts had on the community and in either case someone like that can be bad for a community.

There is a link I posted to Reddit in the thread above where PSG explains why he was banned

I miss PGS around here.

OTOH, I play with him at my FLGS, and he's a pretty decent guy in person -- sadly his online persona is a little too trollish.

Not very enlightening, but that's the only public statement I know of.

I chatted with Tipperary a bit on Vassal after the ban but didn't get much more out of him than that, I think some of the BKL (which I assume is Black Knight Leader) posts he took umbrage to got deleted as well. Doesn't make a lot of sense.

R.I.P. prequel ships ;_;

Found his blog, left a message detailing my condolences as to his banning, amongst other things.

I'd like your post 3X if I could, as it gave me all the answers I wanted and more besides. I guess a gif will have to do. ^_^

Probably half-half. His character was too much in the end, I suppose and his posts often had a negative impact on topics. I understand that FFG didn't want new players to be hit by that, but still, its a shame.

I can think of a number of posts by Black Knight Leader that I've taken umbrage with, so he has my support on that.

I'm honestly shocked that I didn't get banned yet.

"It could happen to you."

"It could happen to me."

"It could happen to everyone eventual-y."

I don't know how the warnings work; since I haven't gotten any, I assume I'm doing great.

Doing good.

Well, I'm alright. ;)

I've had one for calling someone out for being a moron. Generally with how hostile I am to Rebels kids and plebs, I'm shocked I don't receive more.

Like Reddit isn't the new /b/ cesspit. At least Something Awful and LUElinks had class.

WHAAAAAAAT I leave for 2 months and PGS gets banned? Read up on the story and its deserved overall, though when he wasn't acting like an ass he had good insight on lists.

Oh well, time to post some lists of plastic space ships and discuss game of thrones on a star wars site.

I approve of the latter.

the amount of "NERF PALPATINE" cries have died significantly since PGS vanished...ahh.. silence is bliss!

i never knew tipperary but i know someone who does deserve to be banned, hobojebus, he doesn't contribute to discussions he just complains about the prequels (i hate Jar jar, mediclorines and snobby anakin as much as anyone but there's more to the clone wars than just them)

If you feel someone's posts are uncalled for or against the rules of the form, you should use the report feature to let a mod know.

That's not true. Hobo doesn't go out of his way to complain about the prequels in every thread. Yes if the prequels are the topic, that's going to happen, but that's his opinion, and he's on topic, so he is contributing. Yea he's sometimes way over the top, but he's in no way deserving of a banning.

its also ill advised to call out someone like that. Even if it is warranted.

There are several people i wish would get banned but theyre all annoying not rage-induced haters.
