I missed this stunt, but I am glad that he didn't get to post in all the threads. Good ol' OT FAQ |

I am glad to see that this was actually delt with in peaceful manner. Yes, there were a few funny comments...but I still think we should make some attempt to control ourselves when we have the urge to do something stupid.

Let's be reasonable, here. pikachamp's little stunt was very annoying. But otherwise, no real damage was done. Nobody here has so small of an attention span that one junk post by pikachamp per thread will destroy his/her ability to participate in the topics of his/her choice. No discussions will be lost because of this.
Does pikachamp's stunt constitute forum misconduct? Absolutely. But there's no value in claiming it was worse than it really was. It was annoying, not harmful. And the comparison to Will is pretty shallow. pikachamp didn't try to maim the GL like Will did; he just bumped a bunch of threads with inane posts and then bragged about it.

Nah, I think thats fair enough. You ask for an apology and he gave it. If you dont believe him, thens thats your problem. (Although pika, nobody said 'I dont believe you' so you could lighten up a bit)
And in any case, even if he bumps something off first page, its still marked as 'unread' when you go to the next page.
Oh, oh the pain of clicking the 'page 2' button. Damn thats gotta be hard. *rolls eyes*
And I say rock on, because I saw something in that post rampage that was funny, its the first 'funny' thing Pika has ever said that I have seen. So nyeh. |

| I'm sure pika meant it when he said he was sorry. Or maybe I'm just naïve. At least he didn't "own" the thread by starting new threads to fill up the Topic Started By column. Now that would have been a disaster. |

In my mind Pika this is mitigated by your intentions, which were obviously benign. However, your unpenitant nature doesn't help. While you may not have meant harm you still pissed a lot of people off. An apology would go a long way towards putting this behind us.
(If you already have, please disregard.)

| I think he means that pika's ownership of page 1 pushed lots of good threads down. He did bump worthless threads. |

no, will was banned for something completely different - he flooded OT with duplicate threads.
does pika need a defense? since when is posting random one-liner crap that isn't "closely resembling a valuable contribution" something horribly wrong? it was immature, yes, but not wrong.

i'm pretty neutral about it too. i mean, i can't really see how it could be that disruptive...if you don't want to take the time to go through every single thread, then the next time someone does this, just wait until people who aren't spamming make some posts. as long as he doesn't pull stunts like this again (or at least in the forseeable future, before he discovers alchohol), i think the title is enough "punishment". and even then, you could probably just let it be there for as long as his actions were actually problem-causing

Yeah, I'm also kinda neutral about it. I think that as long as it doesn't happen again, we can forgive and let it go. I'm sure pika has his reasons, even if the primary one is sugar overload (it's happened to all of us. ). |

Stupid bi0tch.
If he was a newbie, we'd chide him a little more gently, but then he's been here for longer than I have. *snerkle* As Antrax said, I don't know which threads have legitimate posts in them or if they're just tagged with his mindless drivel.

| Not easily (i.e. in a way that I know how). Ant or Hy may know the answer to this. I can delete every single one of Pika's posts in one swipe. But that was not meant seriously. |

Sounds like a better idea than me shooting my mouth off trying to get attention remedy the situation. Would it be possible to block-delete posts made during a certain block of time? |

I think that's pushing it a bit far... other users have gone on a rampage in the past, they just didn't take the time to brag about it. It's quite possible to overlook "why it's annoying that I bump every thread in existence", and besides, apologies are dumb and meaningless anyhow. Antrax
