Garry and bans

[Pi Mu Rho]

He bought the licence, he pays for his own hosting, he can run his forums however he wants. It doesn't seem to be making them any less popular.

 

[hungryduck]

hah...crazy garry

 

[pistolero!]

He's an albino?

 

[Apocalypse89]

I think the staff here should choose a day to be Nazi mods (we all change our names to NaziEnnui, NaziSamon etc) and then just hand out 1-day bans for every possible offense, no matter how small

I support this.

 

[AciD]

It could be nice but I at that day stay at read-only mode

 

[Naph]

Garry seems like an asshole.

Plus, making you pay for gmod 10 was selling out IMO.

Or making a living.

 

[Absinthe]

I remember on another forum when a moderator made a "Post in this and be banned!" topic. It got to about 10 pages and sure enough everybody got the boot, myself included.

You know what to do, mods.

Sure, he can run them however he wants... but it doesn't make him any less of an idiot and dick for going on such a power trip.

 

[Angry Lawyer]

I think people who think Garry sold out are ungrateful scabs.

Garry can be heavy-handed in moderating, but when you see how much stupid tries to post on his forum, you'll agree with the zero-tolerance behavior. The guy did some pretty miraculous stuff with his coding, and fully deserves the money he gets from selling the products of his labour.

[CrazyHarij]

it's reactions like this that makes garry awesome. hats off

 

[99.vikram]

He simply didn't bring enough changes into Gmod 10 to justify the 10$ purchase.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

LOL, everyone who replied was banned.

Didn't that happen once in this forum in 2004?

lol at

POSTAL's ASS
IT'S EPIC

So what purpose does a "ban me" thread have?

 

[PortalStormzzzz]

to ban?

 

[Stigmata]

He simply didn't bring enough changes into Gmod 10 to justify the 10$ purchase.

The whole point is that you're paying ten dollars to support everything he's done up to and including GMod10. I would have gladly paid $20 or more, he's done a generally fantastic job with the mod and probably deserves a lot more money than he gets.

 

[V-Man339]

I fully support him just having a $10 price tag, but i do not support him whatsoever in his insanely ridiculous forum moderation. I can respect the fact that you own this forum and all, but at this point I'm only goig to do it because half the good mods and or betas (orange box beta [still haven't even gotten it working]) are only here.

 

[Iron_cube]

Don't worry, someone probably made a "OMG HL2.NET HATES US!" thread over there.

 

[Xendance]

I love their moderation, makes me laugh.

EDIT: Fixed

I was looking today for topic like this

 

[PvtRyan]

He simply didn't bring enough changes into Gmod 10 to justify the 10$ purchase.

You mean besides rewriting the whole mod? GMOD10 is much more polished and complete than GMOD9. And as if $10 is such a fortune. Also, consider that $10 just as support for all the work he has done on GMOD.

Garry is awesome and I fully support his anti-idiocy banning policy.

 

[ktimekiller]

I understand the 10 dollar cost of Gmod 10, but his stupidity when it comes to modding forums is pathetic

 

[nurizeko]

The Facepunch forums are pathetic, I signed up once, but I don't bother TBH.

As for paying for gmod 10, well, I am cheap, and this just gives me more reason to keep my cash. :imu:

 

[Seppo]

I think valve should do something about that forum, and I'm surprised they haven't done something allready. after all the shitty forum might also give bad name to valve, and I'm sure any kind of negative attention is not wanted. you don't treat paying customers like this, and Garry really should grow up and be the first one to show example.

that goddamn idiot should really step up, take a good look in the mirror and start acting like a real professional. such behaviour is not something this industry supports.

 

[AciD]

At garry forum that topic could be ban-me one

 

[joule]

If it's really that bad, why do people go there? They're just adding fuel to the fire.

 

[Jintor]

Nowhere else they're going to get decent help with GMod.

Rubbish. It's a privatly owned site and Valve would have no business shutting it down

 

[Raziaar]

Of course valve could be dicks... coercing them because valve owns the rights to allow the mod to be sold for money.

 

[Iron_cube]

oh snap, and then there are the "ratings"...

 

[joule]

Nowhere else, huh?

 

[Krynn72]

I lol'd

Getting banned from facepunch is not only inevitable, but better for your health.

 

[Angry Lawyer]

Garry's actually a really decent dude if you approach him with proper grammar and spelling. The guy willingly gave advice on how to fix a longstanding bug in ZM at one point. He's a brother-coder with the balls to ban the morons.

-Angry Lawyer

 

[Naph]

Sigh, Lreza.

 

[Jintor]

Nowhere else, huh?

Long and fustrating experience tells me that most people will give up on Steam Forums before a moderator gets around to activating their account, especially for people with first-time problems.

 

[15357]

I like how he has no tolerance for idiocy, and goes all iron-fist type of administering indiscriminate justice.







But what the hell was that?

 

[[Dragoon]]

It does seem a bit heavy-handed, but at least they're only temp bans.

[Reginald]

A midget's limp penis is more intimidating than you

I lol'd.

I've been a member of the Gmod forums since Feb 2005 and haven't been banned once. Mind you... I never post there.

 

[Godron]

Heh, there was a thread on this here a while ago, someone linked us to a page where all the bans were listed, with reasons. It's true, FP's moderators are power-tripping in the extreme. I was browsing once, and I saw a guy get banned for putting his name at the end of his post.

I have nothing against the $10 price tag, BTW. Regardless of his Nazi-moderating, GMod is awesome and he deserves the cash for it.

 

[Seppo]

the forum rules are great though...for example:

- Replying to threads like you were the guy they were talking about in the first post isn't funny.

- Don't make threads about how unfair your school is.

- Don't make threads about religion, unless it's in a religion forum.

- Replying with hilarious meme's like 'Stick it in her pooper' will get you banned.

haha, best rules ever and I totally agree with them

I noticed a member named PvtRyan that posted in it, wouldn't happen to be you?
