Notice Decay is already on this list for exactly what I am about to provide recent examples of!
Exhibit B
Recent negative posts from Decay
Decay vs One_Two
Decay vs Tux
Decay vs AO
Decay vs Catastrophe
Decay vs AO #2 - look at his quote name
Decay vs Fatelord
All of these posts are found in his most recent 20 posts! 6/20 have already been trashed by administration! Can you see a pattern?
Exhibit C
According to a current forum administration there is no reason to ban Decay...
COMMUNITY DISCUSSION/OPINION/EXPERIENCES<admin> if you really think Decay should be banned, make a thread in the staff discussion page
<admin> lets see what the rest of the community thinks, because ive got no real good reason to ban him
I think that is a fair answer from the admins, however he also mentioned my recent reports of Decay's posts. What the admin doesn't know is my account is set to hidden because of Decay and co. I visit the forums very seldom now because I feel they are an extremely uninviting experience. I understand administration cannot take care of everything and there is always two sides of a story, however when you can literally login read the most recent post and see Decay tormenting a user and click on his name and read his most recent 20 posts to find that most of them contain only insults and attempts to further rise or completely start an argument, then something should be done. The fact that someone can literally find something worth reporting in all of those posts is enough to say something should be done, and I am talking about more than just trashing every other post of his. I repeat, something should be done.
However this post is not about what I think, because that is clear by the admin's response to my complaint that my opinion does not matter even if I could list probably another 50 quotes of his targeting of me personally (not to mention my family). This post is about your opinion. This is a thread to weigh the pros and cons of having Decay around on this forum.
This is your chance to put your opinion, provide your examples, and maybe just maybe something might actually be done about who I would feel is the biggest troll in the Zandronum community. Yes Decay does provide some valuable posts every once in a while, but so does Capo, Edd, Denzoa, or almost any other user who has been banned in the past. The guy clearly exists on these forums to increase drama and sputter useless nonsense. If you are tired of logging in to see the latest insult of the day from Decay then please voice your opinion and help Zandro abolish negativity so that this already diminishing community can continue to grow and evolve.
WE ARE EXHIBIT C! NOW DISCUSS.
