Internet Fights Aren’t Like Real Ones

"The problem is," Ivan_drago continues, "Is that by banning the annoying members, it basically leaves you with no one left.

Everyone loves a good scrap. The lust for blood, the excitement of watching a man get the gigs kicked out of him, the chorus of screams calling for some poor sap’s death are all part of what makes it fun watching two men punch the shit out of each other. But fights aren’t always exciting, particularily Internet fights, or flamefests, as they’re called. Surveys are showing that Internet battles are slowly killing the Internet experience for kids worldwide.

"The internet used to be good, particularily message boards." Claims Web surfer Scott Gorland. "It used to be, I go on musicianforums.com to learn how to play guitar and get advice. Now, all you have is people flaming each other, it’s crazy. Like last week, med97 called dayser a ‘Jew spick fuck monkey-arse eating gimp’ and dayser responded claiming he had sex with med97’s dad. It was funny at first, but then their war of words spilled onto other threads, and it ruined everything. Now, when I go to a thread titled ‘Master of Puppets Solo’, I have to sift through countless insults and threats to find out that some titbag doesn’t know how to play it. It’s a real piss off."

Gorland is not alone in this feeling; moderators everywhere find themselves fighting a never-ending battle between pre-pubescent keyboard warriors who can barely spell hurling racist and violent threats across the net. "It’s basically a choice between having many visitors, but lots of flame wars, or a tightly moderated board with few visitors." Explains bodybuilding.com moderator Ivan_drago. "It’s a real problem, it ruins the atmosphere when you have idiotic 12 year olds claiming to shoot anyone who claims to out-wang them. It’s a bodybuilding forum, you want to pick fights, get out in the real world and talk that shit."

"The problem is," Ivan_drago continues, "Is that by banning the annoying members, it basically leaves you with no one left. And moderating is a time-consuming and often thankless job, one that never really ends. Even switching to a paid-only membership fails to weed out the insecure Internet tough-guys."

Not everyone is for the draconian-like message board regulations. "It’s facist, really." Claims 34-year-old Ryan Stands, an avid and annoying member of 25+ message boards. "These guys are trying to limit my freedom of speech, moderators are nothing but a bunch of failed wannabe-Nazi fanatics. Like, last week, on the Britney Spears forum and some asshat posted a thread asking for the name of the guy who took her virginity. I reply ‘google muth4 fvcker & k1ll urslf f4g h4g b1tch’ because nothing pisses me off more than idiots who post questions without first checking Google. Then he replies that I’m 12 years old and need to get laid. Yeah right! So I reply ‘fvck u f4g i k1ll ur m0m & r4p3 ur sister u dumb c0ck, i hope ur f4mily d1ed in 911 u jerkoff’. Then I get banned by the stupid loser moderator, saying what I said was ‘inappropriate’ for a Britney Spears forum. Well, if that’s not appropriate, what the hell is? I mean, he should be thanking me for ridding the forum of losers like that."

The people that respond to me for the sole purpose to flame me are the people that are ruining what used to be a good place. Thanks for ruining it guys. I’m sure I’ll get flamed for this one, buncha flamers.

My parents were wrong to name me No, especially when
they knew our lastname was Name. You guys don’t even
want to know my middle name, ok you got me, it’s Freaking.
My name is No Freaking Name, No Name for short.

Unless you’re the moderator, you have no right to ban him.

(snip of self-validating troll rant)

I can believe retards like this get any attention at all, anywhere.

Somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout…But there is no joy in alt.tv.real-world–mighty "KK" has struck out.

I hate people who run their mouths without any clue what they’re talking about. If you are plonked by somewon, you are no longer able to chat in their newsgroup, therefore you are banned. Get it?
