888 needs to be muted

[|iR|Focalor]

I have been threatened with violence (even kill threats), I've been sexually harassed, my sexual orientation has been questioned, I've been accused of hacking and so on. And not just by a one person - there is a team of these bullies. They even name themselves after 888 and me with the most disturbing names you can imagine. There were even racist comments - just because of my skin color.

But I do not come here and bitch about it. Let this be the only exception, I guess one contrary message in this 5 page long snowflake thread is acceptable.

But I have to draw the line where an admin or moderator abuses their power for their personal vendetta.

Snowflake = one who displays their victimhood as an integral part of their identity. Just saying.

And none of that erases the fact that you were spamming private messages at people.

"Daddy daddyyy this Pasta person is sending messages to me, please make him stop, daddyyyy!!! He said 888 is God and it's not trueeeeee!!!!".

...is exactly what an asshole like you would say when confronted about the asshole things you do like spamming private messages. You get my vote for a full mute, you insistent asshole.

Have you played like in 25 years? Have you looked at what people says there? Do they repeat their messages? Tens of times in a day? Yes? No?

How does these ~10 private messages change anything? Bibi never replied back BTW. Never said a thing. Maybe he/she enjoys them.

I keep it classy. I never threat with violence. Very rarely even swear. But I like poo poo. Lots of it! I keep this scene alive in a way as it should be!

To all of these snowflake whiners - EAT DA POO POO!

We've already covered that regular messages can be ignored, private messages cannot. If they enjoyed them, they wouldn't have posted a condump here about it, genius. Abusing features like messagemode 2 is not keeping it classy. Keeping it classy is "good sportsmanship", not whining about losing, not cheating, and not spamming people with private messages which you damn well know is on the list of things you don't do around here, which is exactly why you did it.

Acting like a total asshole to people is not "keeping the game fun", it's just you being an asshole. Lie to yourself, but no one else is buying it.

Wow wow hold your horses. You are throwing false accusations like a maniac.

- I never whine about losing. I take my losses like a man. It happens rarely tho, as I am the second best. 888 is the best.
- I do not whine about cheating.

You seriously think that 10 non-toxic private messages is a problem? One could just not care. Like a normal person, it's just text after all. Goes away very fast with the game events. But no, one has to come here to whine. Tells a lot about that person.

Quake 2 is and has always been a huge roasting show. That's the essential part of the fun. If you start banning/muting people to cancel them, you are gonna lose half of the few players that are still hanging around.

Again. Not buying it. Spamming private messages to be an asshole is frowned upon around here. Always has been. Always will be.

Nah, see, if you're muted, the normal non-assholes around here simply won't be subjected to your undue harassment anymore, and you'll still be able to play. And if you decide not to play, rest assured that no one's gonna miss an asshole.

Alright, seems I have nothing to lose. I will then start this spam campaign you talk so much about. I will increase my private message spam amount from 10 to... let's say, 1000 for starters. If I get banned, maybe I'll get one of those VPN connections you talk about. Oh the joy of all of these butt hurt people.

I was thinking R1Q2 had a command to block messagemode2/private messages. Any TDM'ers reading this confirm/deny this?

AFAIK, there is no blocking specific to a direct message. Direct messages are a feature of q2admin and it exists mainly so WallFly can send you the server list when you use the goto command.

I suppose WallFly could be setup to enable direct messages only when he needs to and close the door behind him to prevent this kind of abuse.
This could be investigated.

R1q2 has the ignore command. (ignore <text>) It looks at the chat text and discards it completely if it matches the text. It's a 'greedy' match so incoming "sicko" will match if "sick" was the ignored text. The list is output if no text follows the ignore command. The unignore <text> command removes the matched item from the list.

Q2pro has 'ignoretext' and 'ignorenick' and they operate in the same way as above and ignorenick discards messages matching the nick or any variant.

It all comes down to how easily one can be distracted by tactics like taunts and direct messages. If one is easily upset and impared when someone sends you a message repeatedly, then he wins.

Hi Qwazy,

I wanted you to know that ignorenick does not stop direct messages.
You will notice in the condump there are no public messages from Pasta. 
This is because ignorenick is being applied to him.

I am not upset by it.  I rather choose not to see it.

That's why I said there's no blocking a direct message.

Beav's suggestion of con_notifylines 0 will work with q2pro/q2rtx but I don't see the equivalent in r1q2.
The nice part of that setting is you get the sound of the message, if you have message sounds enabled, but you don't need to see it in console unless you pull it down.

I understand.  Thanks.

  Or will I have to sift through logs for days because he uses the words so frequently?

In general, this is what server admins and moderators do, yes.  They sift through logs. A lot.  But it should only take seconds or minutes, not days.

You have asked admins to ban 888 for "no reason"(your exact wording) many times. You aren't satisfied with the response you received, but your satisfaction isn't a prerequisite to acknowledge that is not how tastyspleen operates. Like quadz would always say please facilitate the process by posting condumps. Grepping "sugar tits" without any reference to a particular incident is a ridiculous request that will direct one to a plethora of 888 shenanigans.

This will get you banned. This post warrants a mute.

So obviously sarcastic message to this Focalor who refuses to get my point and has posted over 15,000 messages of total poopoo on this forum for years guaranteed me a ban.

A BAN.

I do not snitch but I COULD tell here the kill threats I've got or the REAL private message spam from well-known player (200-400 messages, one every second), but I do not.

I REFUSE to go down that road.

I don't know you, how was it obvious? All I know about you is that you get a kick out of mildly pestering people on dm, and on your 3rd day of posting here you threaten to increase the private message spam by 100x and evade bans using a VPN.

Focalor told multiple lies, like that I whine about losing or cheating. He was also a total ass when I created a detailed bug report. Like no matter of the context, even when I'm being nice, he can treat me like total shit.

So if Focalor can lie, why cannot I?

"Mildly pestering people"

Hello mister bearded admin, a clarification is needed here:  It has recently been "mildly", and it was previously "severely" for 18 months. I have always maintained this.  I have no idea where this "for no reason" thing came from. 

Server Admins are the parents in the rec-room, when there is a lack of parenting for 18+ months, it is then enabling of bad behavior, which makes the rec-room a worse place for all the kids that just want to shoot pool and have fun.

We try to maximize fun for all alongside allowing community members to speak freely with few exceptions. Spamming private messages to players while they're trying to play annoys people. Threatening to increase this behavior hundred-fold then saying you'll use a VPN to avoid bans isn't a joke. It falls under the 'few exceptions' and is not comparable to what focalor said in the link.

Please stop the private message spam.
