The honourable rabbit faggot will be presiding over the court of /meta/ this evening, as the kangaroo got caught in traffic.

The court declares the defendant guilty of being over dramatic in the face of justice.

I already said I wasn't going to comb through your post history and point out specific incidents. Anyone who is familiar with your posting habits on /pony/ would be aware of the general demeanor you tend to have when doing so. I've been around for a long time and I've seen these things come up around you plenty of times.

I don't believe that you truly have no comprehension of the results of your comments. If you really don't, I just explained to you that they cause an unfriendly and argumentative atmosphere. Even now, you are apparently unable to avoid adding insulting implications to your posts.

You outright admitted that you were intentionally being annoying to the users of the board. You were warned and asked to stop, there is no "finding guilty/innocent" to be done. You are actively being disruptive and upsetting people. This is something that demands moderator intervention at some point.

It now seems that you want to make this as difficult as possible on the mods who are trying to deal with you, so I'm going to go do something else for awhile.

>Grabs popcorn

In his defense, I haven't seen Dulset that bad on /oat/.
He's actually been pretty nice to me.
Maybe just ban him from /pony/ for a bit?
It seems like he only ever gets in trouble when he talks about the show, but maybe I'm wrong.

Would you like some Tea with that Popcorn?

Ok then, guess that's that. Never broke a rule.

Since it's a /meta/ topic anyway, can we talk about how absolutely abhorrent it is when mods will threated to permaban someone without trying to talk to them first? For some reason the topic is on my mind today, and I think it's basically the worst thing any mod can do. This idea that mods can just threaten you without any actual charges, ruling through fear of punishment for something you never did, making you afraid to even talk back to them since you already know they're not reasonable and could ban you at any moment, abusing power and responsibility while facing absolutely no possible recompense for such a horrible, unforgivably destructive act. It's basically the worst thing ever in my opinion.
What do you think?

I was hoping this was satire. I guess it isn't.

>>161552

Thread is still alive and well from what I gather! All the people who actually want to post there, post there.

>>161549
I think you're making it really hard to defend you...
but sometimes the way mods wield the ban hammer can be scary, yes. But those are the rules, right?

>>161549
You never did learn to pick your battles.

"You will be without any enemy but your miserable selves. Your world will be yours to rule as you see fit, to crumble around you as you wallow in your own hate."

According to our mods, it is "trollbaiting" to enter a group or discussion that is aligned in one way at attempting to incite an inflammatory response by presenting a[n] [ludicrous] alternative. Whether or not the alternative we present is rational, reasonable, or courteous, we are invading a place with the intent of ruffling feathers. It has never been any secret that the mods favor the majority who are upset that an outsider has invaded and doesn't agree with them, than a reasonable single person who just wants to have a discussion. Clearly, they are too scared to assert authority over who is allowed to say what, on the condition that what is said is not spoken out against. It is no secret that there is a history of tattletales getting ousted- if not outright banned- because they didn't like what they saw and tried to do something about it.

Clearly, there are often better ways to go about telling someone you disagree with them than hunting them down or baiting responses and trying to ignite a flame war. But, even in considerate, polite discussion, there are many people and places here you simply need to let stew in their hate and venomous spittle until they leave or self destruct.

Coincidentally, this is specifically why I never, ever go to /pony/.

Dulset makes sure every other poster is constantly reminded that the Internet is SRS BSNSS.

flurp

>>161549
>They're not reasonable.
The very fact that you're not banned already proves the opposite.

Do you know what a common rule is for websites?

"Do not argue with moderator decisions."

The two marshmellows already tried to explain how you're in the wrong, but you just flat out denied it, marshmellow prime is literally the second reply to this thread yet you've ignored them again because it suits your own narrative of the mods being doodieheads.

You flat out admitted to intentionally harassing people and see nothing wrong with that, so whats the point in trying to actually discuss the issue with you when a simple ban-threat will solve everybody a headache.

>>161548
Yes sir.

>>161561
Well it's immoral, for one.
And if all you guys have is that I supposedly admitted to intentionally harassing people, you should know that the phrase "it's kinda supposed to be [annoying]" was taken out of a context where I was explaining how satire works. If I knew you would conflate that to mean "I have been ritualistically bullying and harassing people with opinions different from mine", then I wouldn't have said it.

DULSET''S A GUY?!?!?

>>161578
I know right.

>>161552

They also destroyed the new one!

*ba-dum tish*

I kid, I kid. On topic, though, I'm not really sure why this is on /meta/ rather than over Skype or emails or something. If you want my observations and opinion, I just plain haven't seen this behavior from Dulset. Usually my interactions with him (her?) are completely harmless and I don't see him flip out any undue amount, but...I guess he (she?) is also admitting to it? So this has been a very odd and pointless public trial.

>>161584
...Funnily enough, I haven't seen a post of hers that I haven't laughed at for a while.

Then again, I hardly ever hang out on /pony/ or /oat/. I'm almost always on /rp/.

>>161584
>I'm not really sure why this is on /meta/ rather than over Skype or emails or something
The same reason people make five paragraph threads about them leaving the site for two months.

>>161586

>>161584
They told me to make a thread here, I wasn't going to question it. And I didn't admit to anything of the sort.

>>161593

>>161588
Dulset's a guy.

I like how you can tel he just took that from the AMC movie theater.

Okay, well, since I haven't seen what they're talking about I'll leave my opinion that I believe Dulset contributes a lot to /pony/ and a permaban from the board would be overkill, if a problem exists at all.

Guys stop with the popcorn, you're not supposed to shitpost on /meta/ like that. Also Ponychan is the most important site on the internet.

>>161549
You're being disruptive intentionally on a discussion board. That's breaking a rule. You just never stop goading people on and you seem to get a real kick out of arguing on the internet.

>>161563
That oft quoted "Supposed to be annoying" comment isn't the only reason I was telling you to stop being intentionally disruptive. It just serves as a convenient example. You even refer to it as a "crusade", language I find to be quite revealing about your intentions. And, for the third time, other people pointed out specifics for you plenty of times but you always just deny it or point the blame elsewhere. I'm not going to play this game.

You aren't even banned and you're throwing a fit over being told to stop trolling. Pretty ridiculous.

>>161614
Your butt won't keep you from justice.
But it will distract justice for a little while.

oh yeah, that reminds me. i need to shitpost on /pony/ more often

>>161619
>Dis guy knows whats up.

>>161617
>You're being disruptive intentionally on a discussion board.
Never happened.

>You even refer to it as a "crusade", language I find to be quite revealing about your intentions.
And not, say, a colorful wordplay.

>other people pointed out specifics for you plenty of times
Funny that you keep saying that but never point to any specific claim. If you want to accuse me of something, say it yourself. What kind of policy is it to say "You did something wrong, other people said it. I can't be asked."? You really just can't offer anything at all, can you? No charge, no evidence, nothing but vague, made up accusations of ridiculous offenses which you won't find anywhere.

And to be clear, I'm "throwing a fit" because I think it's absolutely deplorable that mods are permitted to behave this way with absolute power and absolute impunity. You and !!Sweetie threatened me with permaban. You talk about me not understanding the consequences of my actions. Even if I did what you say I did, what would the consequences be? "Harmful to the atmosphere of /pony/" you value so much?

Do you have any idea how absolutely appalling this mod behavior is in comparison? Do you have any understanding of the atmosphere you're promoting doing this? Have you even considered the consequences of being so flippant with your power? Just think about it.

>>161620
>>161618
Can one of y'all give an argumentfag a rundown?

>>161622
Dulset's been doing her usual stuff, and now a mod's threatened to permaban her if she doesn't stop causing trouble.

>>161622
!!Rarity and !!Sweetie have charged me with trollbaiting, making inflammatory comments, bullying, trying to start mudfests, and a few other things I forget. The penalty, apparently, is permaban from /pony/, should I be found guilty.

I maintain that none of this happened, and that the charges are faulty. After repeatedly asking for evidence, both mods repeatedly refused to offer any.


>Good sum up.

Mods saying that Dulsee started shit. Dulset denying anything has ever happened and has never caused trouble in his life and is the picture of purity and perfection. When people point out what hes done wrong hes picking out what agrees with what he thinks and ignores everything else they say. The usual.

>>161622
>Giygas comes along in Dulset shit fest thread

So is Dulset banned from /pony/ then? I sure hope so.

>>161621
>Do you have any idea how absolutely appalling this... behavior is?
I could say the same to you.

I've seen plenty of threads devolve into mudfests thanks in large part due to your presence in the past, and I saw it again today. I wouldn't be surprised to see it again in the future. You do make nice threads and have civil discussions at times, but other times things spiral into a flamewar as you goad it on with inflammatory (though not targeted at an individual person, as you are quick to remind everyone) comments. I told you to stop doing that, and since asking you doesn't seem to work, presented you with potential consequences that will occur should you choose to disregard. Warning, threatening, whatever you want to call it, it's out there now.

Since you brought it up, I'd like to comment that you would get away with far less raging at moderators on just about any other website that exists.

>>161631
Never happened, but thanks. Threat received loud and clear.

>>161635

>>161623
>>161624
>>161625
Are... are we still doing the judge melodramatic thing? I thought that was considered ridiculous years ago.

Heck, I'm not "familiar" with him and even I know his attitude's not too great on /pony/ from what I've seen. For every "debate" post, there's another that's nigh shitposting from the attitude! I've heard of whining about consistent mudfest causing over the course of weeks, sure... but months?

Random poll: Who thinks mods should be subject to a higher standard of decorum, especially when tossing bans around? Who thinks a user has the right to be presented with their actual misdeeds when accused by a mod?

>>161639
Years. Since the middle of season 3, at least.

>>161642
Personally, I think the mods need a swift kick in the pants, because as I understand it most of them apparently don't give a shit anymore.
However, that doesn't necessarily excuse any shitposting you've done.

>>161645
The funny thing was that I was just being safe with "months". Oh yeah. At least on the forums I've been that have any kind of mod presence, let alone the more 'personal' presence on these boards, if you shitpost for years and then act like you're the second coming of eJesus, you get the banhammer.

I mean that's just, like, asking for a ban.

eJesus on the cross*

>>161653
I would deny any accusations of shitposting, but honestly as long as stupid, false rumors don't get me banned, I don't mind being the boogeyman of /pony/. Go ahead and retroactively make me the bad guy forever.

>>161659
>doesn't deny shitposting for months(or years), which is against the rules
>thinks he doesn't deserve banning and acts like everyone is out to get him somehow

...
...
What?

>>161659
>>161664

>>161664
I'm saying that since no one will listen to a word I say anyway since I'm "the bad guy", you can go ahead and make up whatever terrible things about me you want, including this stupid idea that I've been shitposting forever. Go nuts!

>>161672
I dunno, but you've certainly been controversial forever. The current examples have some shit to do with season 4 and Equestria Girls, right? Pretty sure you were the boogeyman before those were even announced.

Were you being misunderstood back then?

>>161642
I agree! I do, in fact, think that mods should stop whatever they're doing, prostrate themselves before a stranger on the internet, and get into long and protracted arguments over someone saying something on a website about cartoon horses.

I moreover think that all mods should be confirmed NEETs with a fear of loneliness, preferably ones who were emotionally crippled by parental abandonment. This would ensure that they have lots and lots of free time to understand every situation as fully as possible, and also that they desperately want to remain on everybody's good side, but aren't particularly passionate about anything.

Mods with these qualities would be perfect; and so I vote, if it is applicable, that all mods instantly be ousted and replaced by people who are otherwise invisible to society.

So let me get this straight: you've been shitposting. This isn't new, because you've been doing this for a while. Not "forever", but the last time I checked PC(months ago), you had a crap attitude and were making a big hubbub.

This is against the rules.

So when something's done about it, you're... somehow being unfairly prosecuted. I can't even handle how legit this was.

>>161679
Hey hey hey, we can't forget the fact that all mods should have banning powers removed. We can't be stepping on people's feet! They might get their feelings hurt :((((

>>161682
....That reminds me that that one movie Tusk is out....Need to watch that.

>>161678
I didn't like season 4, and had some problems with season 3, but I'm the most discussion oriented guy you'll meet, and I never insult, inflame, or shitpost.
I don't take bullshit and I never lie. I always back up my opinions with facts. I call out hypocrisy and dishonesty where I see it. And I don't care if that makes people mad, which it occasionally did. That sums up basically all of my /pony/ activity.

>>161685

Is that the movie about the guy who's being surgically turned into a walrus?

Just... mmh, wow, that is something else. You're telling me all of this "WOW GUYS THESE MODS SURE ARE UNFAIR DON'T YOU THINK" whenever the conversation is dying down isn't shitposting?

Do you really
Do you really, sir

Are you really saying this isn't being inflammatory

>>161715
Well for some mysterious reason, I'm still here. What discussion have I missed? Certainly nothing from the mods. I will admit that I tend to avoid anons, but that's about it.

Also pay attention everyone! If I say it, it's instantly distrusted! That's almost impressive.

Why don't ya go ahead and guess.

>>161715

I just like where the show is going, since the goal of /pony/ is discussing FiM, my strong opinion coupled with my disverging point of view has earned me that title by many posters that don't like me and I have honestly stopped posting there a lot since the cesspool of negativity is often leaded by Dulset and even if many posters have valid reasons for their negativity...

Dulset would be tolerable like al of them, if he didn't had this prick attitude of his that he doesn't respect anyone but is utterly offended when someone wrongs him, kinda like this thread over here and most his posts adressing the Mods.

>>161727
Have views towards the show really gotten that negative, these days?

>>161726
Well considering that they're all sensible, fair, and relevant statements, combined with the fact that they didn't inflame anything... Looks like the answer is no one.

>>161727
Not uncommon for trolls to jump on the bandwagon and lie about my behavior to everyone for some cheap attention, but you guys should have seen when Moony started lying about me! What a day that was!

>>161729
If there was a way I could somehow have that gif rapidly shake to show how much missing the point has intensified... you are blatantly trying to provoke the mods when they kind of don't care oh my god how can you be capable of not noticing this.

>>161730
I think you miiight just be mistaken? Is that possible?

>>161728

More or less, at least from my point of view, it's a cesspool of negativity and bitterness.
I've been called a varied ammount of things, from Troll to Shit-Eater, not that different from the Twi-Dash wars since Twi is my favorite pony.

Dulset just sees what he wants to see, that's why certain posters dislike him, can't blame the mods for getting sick of his shenanigans.

>>161729

You mean the day Moony offended you so badly you had to take some time-out?
Because yes, that was a nice day.

If a bunch of different people over the course of more than a year notice that you behave a certain way, and it's brought to attention without providing a file of creepy stalker screencaps to prove it, the accusations are still usually pretty sound. If you want testimonials from the board regulars (which I assume you don't because that would be essentially digging your own grave) then the mods can probably arrange that.

Without accusing you of anything (because I don't have a big creepy stalker file of screencaps to back it up), at the very least I've seen you DEFEND yourself against countless accusations of trying to start conflict, making nonproductive and pretentious blanket statements about people that hold certain opinions, and people asking you to stop with the needlessly aggressive confrontational positions you take during arguments.

This doesn't warrant a permaban, especially while certain other posters are allowed to roam free, but it does demand some introspective evaluation at the very least. I have personally never seen you take responsibility for your actions that have resulted in countless flamewars and textwalls. It's not always 100% the other person's fault, that's not how it works. You are the lowest common denominator.

>>161731
No. Nope, noperino, I absolutely refuse to believe that anyone in any way, shape or form would be this incapable of realizing that they are doing something wrong. You are a troll. Only a troll would go around shitposting, then getting mad when mods are courteous enough to warn him instead of ban him. Only a troll would then go to meta and, after the mods yawn and wave you off, start making inflammatory posts blatantly made to try and get mod attention by provoking them(because it's rather clear by you trying to nail yourself onto a cross that you totally believe that no one would ever agree with you) and then turn around and say that you were not only not being inflammatory, but that they were sensible(PFFFFT).

I have too much faith in human intelligence to believe otherwise.

No one in their right mind could seriously be so blind and arrogant as to think that they are beyond the mods and years of being called out for shitposting/their shit attitude. This cannot be reality.

>>161732
>just see what he wants to see
Dear Lord, you don't say, man D:

>>161733
This guy's pretty much correct.

>>161734

Oh, I say~

I also gotta say, I like you name and your Annie pics, it's nice to meet you because you look like a very patience guy to tolerate Dulset's monotone rebuttals.

>>161735
I dealt with a lot of cray before. Mind you, I've only heard of it getting this bad, but, well, I was/am more or less known for how argumentative I was.

And she's just 2adorable4me D:

Diggin' the Simon pics; a couple of yours looked like they came from the anime, but I didn't recall anything like that showing up before... was that from the movie?

>>161727
>>161728

I, again, have to step in to disagree. I love the show and I think I make that pretty clear whenever I post on /pony/, but I don't think I've ever gotten any shit for it. What I usually get is good discussion, and that includes discussions with people like Dulset, whose opinions of the show have plummeted.

>>161737
Well at least there seems to be some positivity. Would kind of suck for one of the biggest pony places to not like the show... although I suppose it would become inevitable after some time.

>>161733
>>161734

And yeah, that's not really wrong, either. I just feel like people are piling on Dulset for things he/she's done in the past, even if that past was only a few months ago. There actually was a ban placed on them earlier this year an when they came back they were not nearly so grating and offensive to people, I don't think.

>>161734
>No. Nope, noperino, I absolutely refuse to believe that anyone in any way, shape or form would be this incapable of realizing that they are doing something wrong.
Then...
then you're fuckin dumb.
Of course people can be that oblivious.

>>161733
Oh I've done the introspection, I never say things without thinking, and I have no regrets, nor do I break the rules, ever.

I have a little something I'm honestly a bit proud of, something called a clear conscience. See, if I weren't always honest, always purposeful, and always well-intentioned, then when people make accusations about me I'd have to really consider that I might have actually wronged someone. But with a clear conscience gained by being ALWAYS honest, purposeful, and well-intentioned, I can be confident that anyone calling me a troll, an instigator, a liar, or a rule-breaker is speaking out their ass. It does wonders, really.
That's not to say I don't think hard about every one of these thoughtless accusations. In fact, I have to consider every one in order to maintain my good conscience.

Is it not impossible instead that my self-assured attitude, dislike of season 4, and propensity to call out bullshit and hypocrisy has caused a negative feedback loop where people exaggerate my behavior to others, people start expecting negativity, they see reasoned complaints and proclaim how hateful I am, and then it repeats for over a year until I'm the boogeyman of /pony/, exacerbated by the fact that everyone who shares my opinions left long ago and the only ones left disagree with me and there's never any actual discussion?
I understand completely if you think that's a load of crap, but I've seen it. I've seen it happen slowly over two years. It happened, and I saw every second of it.

>>161737
Yeah, I don't get a lot of hate really and I openly like S4 and the show.

If I liked EQG I think I'd get a little annoyed.

The worst I've gotten is a "lol" when I make a serious post about liking S4 or called a hasdrone which both are pretty easy to brush off.

I don't think negativity is the problem more we can pretty much predict what people will think about episodes and get it largely right.

>>161739
Normally I would agree that it is unfair to pile on someone for past events, however, when you just outright pretend as if you have, quite literally, never done something wrong when evidence to the contrary is thick in everyone's mind... yer askin' for it.

Nothing wrong with being argumentative when you are good with staying polite, clean and direct with your posts.

Gotta love Annie :3

> digging

I see what you did there, intentional or not.

Yes, they are from the movie, I found a high quality version and went on a capping spree one night.
I haven't named them nor organized them at all yet, could still get a couple more if I really tried, it's kinda hard because I end up watching the movie again and forget I'm trying to get more screencaps...
I feel like it goes well with my name for when I'm going to be serious about what I post, I dig the shades myself.

>>161737

Dulset is not that bad, even if he insults me every so often calling me something me I'm not, I just don't like how he thinks is above everyone else.

>>161742

You don't get called a Troll :P lucky you.

>>161739
Well !!Zecora banned me twice, but both times he saw the error of his ways and repealed it, since as always, I'd done nothing wrong. Honestly, it's stuff like that that makes me distrustful of the mods.

>>161744
Oh trust me, I'm not being too polite, I gotta say. Of course, I can recognize that, but that's not entirely the point.

Dohoho, I didn't even catch that one myself.

>>161741
>I understand completely if you think that's a load of crap, but I've seen it. I've seen it happen slowly over two years. It happened, and I saw every second of it.
That's almost what happened, Dulset. But you're missing the part where, instead of slowly creating a negative feedback loop, you blew it up immediately with a few choice flamewars RIGHT OUT THE GATE when you got unbanned and made your first baby steps onto /pony/.

I don't remember if you were really at fault, but I know that IS what happened.

>>161745
Just because your ban was appealed doesn't mean you didn't do anything wrong.

Your behavior was very out of line. Just because mine was as well doesn't change anything.

>>161747
Unbanned? When are you talking about? Couldn't have been before the end of season 3, but I was on /pony/ soon after season 2 ended.

>>161748
That's not what !!Zecora said.
Edit: Oh hey, it's you I guess? Well you said nothing of the sort at the time.

The 4 month ban that killed your RP group? I had never seen you on /pony/ before that, so I'm assuming that the timelines line up here...

>>161741
Okay, in plain English; people are largely and consistently tired of putting up with the results of your good intentions. You could say that you don't care and that you'll do the integral thing by soldiering on, but this is a community. The community consensus is that you are a problem starter that shows no willingness to reform, and the mods are only doing their jobs by trying to isolate the problem and taking care of it.

If you refuse to be pressured to leave an environment where you're almost strictly a problem, then the conversation of removing you by force is naturally going to come up. You can't reasonably be upset at that.

Pointing out facts doesn't make you unpolite, maybe it's just that I personally enjoy sharp and direct people.

Either way, that was brilliant.

I gotta go to bed now, was nice talking to you, I hope to see you again... Eventually~

Damn.
Things were just getting interesting.

>>161754
Let me tell you, man, that's probably the first time I've actually ever heard that one. Usually it's the opposite!

See you later, man! Maybe I'll poke my head around here more often... and now I have to go watch the end of TTGL again, if only to hear the Anti-Spiral rocking his role...

>>161752
Yeah, that doesn't line up. There's almost a year of me on /pony/ in between.

>>161753
See that's where you're just slightly off. People like to pretend I'm the problem, that's the community consensus you see. The fact that no one can actually point to an instance of me causing problems is proof. They blame problems on me when they're just not sure, and anons have an easy time deflecting their shitposting onto me when I'm nearby, saying I prompted it. I don't care how many nasty rumors and lies about me circulate, if I don't do anything wrong, I'm basically in the clear as long as the mods don't do anything stupid like accuse me of vaguely being a prick because they kinda remember hearing about it happening a bunch of times.

>>161754
>>161755
I'm always sharp and direct! :D

>>161756
If only you were saying anything of worth and not "because I'm Jesus, I'm right, and anyone who disagrees with me is wrong"

>>161757
The hilarious part is that this one post is already worse than anything I've actually posted in... ever?

>>161756
...Okay, so in your head, the problem is literally everybody else at all times and everybody is out to get you and you're never wrong. In that case, just leave?

>>161759
I barely even feel like scanning through this thread alone to find something blatantly inflammatory or insulting that you said, so I'm just gonna g- hey, what's that?

>yet another instance of gullible, capricious mods trying to silence innocent posters

Oh man where'd that come from

>>161760
I for one second this.

>>161756
>Yeah, that doesn't line up. There's almost a year of me on /pony/ in between.
Hmph. Well, sorry for the mistake.

Imma go to bed soon so I'll just say this: I don't want you banned, I'm hoping you'll take a step back and change your behavior before you end up banned. It won't be good for /pony/ get any smaller. Not sure how you think the whole board can be wrong about you and you aren't wrong at all, but I hope you figure it out.

>>161760
Nah, I still like it here, a little. I don't let this stuff bother me.

>>161761
Funny you have to take that out of context in order to imply it's inflammatory. Try a bit harder sweetie ;)

>>161762
>Not sure how you think the whole board can be wrong about you and you aren't wrong at all
It's very easy actually! No one, when asked, has provided any reason to believe otherwise. And I'm not exactly picky. What other explanation is there?

>>161762
> I'm hoping you'll take a step back and change your behavior before you end up banned.

Ain't changed it in years; ain't gunna change it this time. There isn't the tiniest bit of remorse or admission of wrongdoing in this thread. Giving people second chances is one thing, but I don't think its unfair to ask that they at least pretend that they're going to try.

>>161763
>If you can't, I'll just have to assume that this is yet another instance of gullible, capricious mods trying to silence innocent posters with fabricated charges and threats of permaban.

It's not much better in context, either. "If you don't do it, you're a pussy", for instance, is an insult no matter how you put it.

>I don't let this stuff bother me
*looks up*
no

He has a point, too, assuming you aren't just a troll(who for some reason rolls with the same act for years): you quite literally think that you are incapable of wrongdoing, but everyone is out to get you, including the mods, because the entirety of the community who is not bowing down to you is wrong. Why even stay, in that case? To grace the boards with your glorious existence, to try and step into your mindset for a bit?

>>161764
Do you think he'll just, like, stop existing entirely if the day comes where he doesn't think he's the second coming of Christ? Just... *poof* and be gone?

Of course another reason is that I know people, mods included, will happily lie about me, spread nasty rumors, exaggerate, conflate, bullshit, and otherwise bend the truth to get everyone else to think nasty things about me without me having to do anything! I see it almost every day now.

So when I see people and mods accusing me of terrible things with no actual specific claims or evidence to back it up, it would honestly be pretty stupid of me to think there's any other reason, right? Can anyone honestly say otherwise?

>>161765
>"If you don't do it, you're a pussy", for instance, is an insult no matter how you put it.
The idea obviously being that they should present evidence? C'mon.

>Why even stay, in that case?
There's still fun to be had.

>>161763
If it doesn't bother you then don't bring it to /meta/.

>>161768
The mods told me to!

You don't do anything else they tell you to.

>>161766
I do believe they did provide evidence, but you just claimed that, no, you did nothing wrong and it doesn't count because you did nothing wrong. As FGI put above: unless people sit there actively saving every single thing you've been in, it's not like they can toss out quotes... well, except here. But, at the same time, we've kind of seen what would happen even if they did:

"That doesn't count. It's lying. I meant and did nothing wrong because I am never wrong, and I am never wrong because I do nothing wrong."

Amongst other arrogant, circular logic. Christ, do you really need people to show you how not to be--excuse any more blatant insults--a complete prick? Do I really need to lay out what connotations, implications, inflammatory language, attempts at being provoking, etc. are? Dear Lord, I know you love you some circular logic on how you are Jesus, but this isn't hard.

You know how ez pz it is? "explain why I'm the bad guy here. "

Done. That's it. End the post. Don't toss out these silly comments. Only a child does such things, the infamous "or are you just a chicken, bwak bwak bw-kak".

>>161769
>>161770
Exactly. I mean, what's authority but complete trolls if they dare tell someone of your class what to do, right? Right?

>>161771
>I do believe they did provide evidence
Can you point it out? Gonna bet on noooooooo.

This reminds me of RPing with Dulset IC as she says she does nothing wrong with eating people.

Gonna take this as it's going go "But this." then "No, that's wrong." back and forth all night sooo.

>>161773
Of course he's lying, but since it puts me in a bad light everyone will believe it anyway.

>>161772
You mean like every time they pointed out how you said you were trying to be annoying?

I mean, like I said, you batted it off with your usual circular logic of: "I'm right because I'm never wrong, and I'm never wrong because I'm right", but, there you go.

>>161773
A monotonous task requiring little to no thought processes, yes.

But, hey, it's busy and I've literally never seen anyone this arrogant before in my life. Full out. Not even a hyperbole: I didn't think this level of megalomania was possible and I actually think he needs mental help.

So it's interesting at least.

>>161776
And how !!Rarity more or less admitted that was a moot point because it was essentially falsified? Well okay, there was no admitting, but he accepted it. Yep, I do remember that!

>>161777
Knew it, it'd be more insane troll logic. Why, in fact...

>And, for the third time, other people pointed out specifics for you plenty of times but you always just deny it or point the blame elsewhere.

Why, in the same post where Rarity didn't accept anything... it's even her predicting what you'd do! Fokkin' magic, I tells ya.

>>161778
She was lying. Check for yourself. Do it.

>>161779
Oh I shall, but allow me to toss out my prediction of what I'll find:

I'm going to go up and not only find that you're lying through your eTeeth or otherwise dreadfully misconstruing words, and then I'll probably find some kind of retort that you're championing as the truth(see: "I'm right because you're wrong, you're wrong because I'm right" etc etc circular logic).

Thanks in part to the sterling arguments of the prosecution and to the defense's contempt of court, I think this case is pretty closed.

You seem to not even acknowledge that you have done anything wrong. Despite being banned in the past, you haven't learned anything from those mistakes either. You show no sign of ever learning, as a matter of fact. Bans have expiration dates precisely because human beings are capable of recognizing and learning from mistakes. In this case, you've proven yourself unwilling or unable to with regards to your behavior on /pony/.

Verdict: Guilty
Sentence: Defendant is prevented from posting on /pony/

Dulset, you can still post on /oat/, /rp/ and /meta/ to your heart's content, but I can't say that your presence on /pony/ is justifiable, given what I've seen.

>>161780
Best of luck~! I need to sleep.
Be sure if you find anything to bring it back. We can't have you saying "I totally found the evidence, it was there, I saw it!" and not having anything in hand.

>>161781
Do I get a list of my charges and the evidence against me now? If I'm banned, there must be a crime, right?

>Final Rarity post including mention: "That oft quoted 'Supposed to be annoying' comment isn't the only reason I was telling you to stop being intentionally disruptive."

So here we can see there's nothing saying that the quote was a lie. Only !!Rarity stating that it is not the only reason you were told to stop being disruptive(we can probably wave to the years of having a sour attitude and being high and mighty).

Mmh hm, mm hm aaaand nada. Okay let's look for the inevitable: you saying you're right, thus making you right because you can just decide your words mean something else when they clearly do-

>No charge, no evidence, nothing but vague, made up accusations of ridiculous offenses which you won't find anywhere.
>the phrase "it's kinda supposed to be [annoying]" was taken out of a context where I was explaining how satire works.

oh look at that my prediction was right I'm magic

>>161781
Ah, just as my Unlimited Corners comes on... beautiful

>>161784

>>161787
No, no, that's my mind trying to go to the next logical option that isn't just saying you are mentally ill to the point where you actually think "you are wrong"="you are right" without any logic: you quite clearly live in an alternate universe. This is the only way you can take some of this stuff to mean something completely different and off the beaten path.

For the sake of others for when you finally snap and inevitably go on some rampage because you fell from your god complex, please just stay inside. Forever. Toodles.

>>161542

And yet geldon is still here. Cherrypicking isn't becoming of a moderator.

Lots of people have done this, i'd say half of /pony/ is guilty of it, but if you're going to start banning without even a loose concept of a system of rules and consequences, than really anyone is capable of being a mod and we should just all be mods and ban each other. Since apparently both dialect and a system of rules and consequences have both become antiquated in your eyes.

>>161542

Wow, ok, if being constantly annoying on /pony/ is banworthy, than you might as well just shut down the entire board. There's only a handful of users who don't do that on a regular basis. You know as well as i do that geldon is at least as annoying and confrontational, but he's still not banned, same as mami, saikr, 441, shuckle and myself just to name a few examples. Either apply the rules indiscriminately, or not at all.

I mean seriously, look at this thread, look at all the sadistic jerks who showed up just to eat popcorn at dulset, people i know for a fact have been at least as vicious and annoying as dulset ever was.

At least describe in the rules what the process is for getting immunity to the rules, because clearly the site isn't being run with any kind of professional conduct or coherent set of rules. Least you can do is make whatever unspoken rules there are out there spoken. At least then whatever ridiculous code is lurking under the surface could be communicated to everyone.

So, what is Dulset definitively being blamed for? I can vouch personally for Dulset being a very productive person in every thread I have seen him in, and being respectful of opposing people's opinions.

I mean, besides all that, the main issue that exists here is really the lack of any real accusations. I understand it's not like it's easy to track down single aggravating/malevolent posts but isn't that the least that can be expected with being banned from a community? I can kind of see why people might be annoyed with Dulset consistently enough to want to ban him, because he can give off a condescending air when replying to what he (and I think most sensible folk would as well) considers silly, but that. is. literally. all.

I do not think for one second that a lack of any singular purposefully negative post to point to as evidence of his utter badness (that he merits banishment from our little community) is enough to perma ban somepony. It sounds even more ridiculous when you compare to how other major perma bans (Dulset is a quite decently known poster) have happened to my memory, the last one I recall being of Manley, which if I, again, recall correctly, was only banned after months of persistently causing drama, and after a somewhat particularly bad post. I think we just need to hold some semblance of justice.

I don't know if I'd regret not saying something or saying something more. I'm probably gonna piss off a lot of people on /pony/, who are finally getting a chance to breathe and enjoy the peace and quiet for the first time in eons.

I've never known a more contrarian, argumentative, narcissistic, negative, and frustrating person than Dulset Tarn. I've stormed out of bed at 5 in the morning, stomping to my PC because of him. Arguments on the Internet must be won, after all.

I do however know the panic, regret, sadness, and helplessness of being banned here, and elsewhere. I know how getting hyper invested and caught up with every aspect of the show and the fandom can lead to emotionally driven decisions, simply for short term satisfaction, and completely without concern for any consequences. The prospect of not being able to engage with your peers again, during once in a lifetime events, like premieres and major breaking news, is terrifying to a super fan.

I'm not asking you mods to reverse your decision immediately, or at any point before you're comfortable, but please, for the love all that is holy, do not turn a compassionless blind eye to Dulset if he asks to come back to /pony/. I know all too well from my past what it feels like to plead and beg multiple times for a modicum of empathy, faith, and kindness, from an admin, and gotten nothing but scorn and indifference in return. Don't be like that when its time to consider bringing Dulset back. There must always be a path towards redemption. There must always be a way to earn your way back from a ban.

That's why i've always had respect for you man, you're not dismissive, you know how devastating that attitude is to everyone involved.

>>161783
I stand with !!wifehorse on this, and here's a list of reasons for why you are banned from /pony/:

1. Mods and Admins think you should be banned.

As you've spent this entire thread describing your opinion that the mods are immoral jerkwads, you should find this list 100% valid.

>>161789
>Either apply the rules indiscriminately, or not at all.
Alright.

>>161792
>I can vouch personally for Dulset being a very productive person in every thread I have seen him in, and being respectful of opposing people's opinions.

And i can vouch personally for the opposite.

>>161795
Manley was allowed back after he got permabanned from the site entirely, it's a semi-common joke that ponychan's permabans are like revolving doors.

>>161808
>revolving doors.
well if they're really like revolving doors
isn't it time he's unbanned from /pony/~?

>>161810
He could go talk about how much he doesn't watch the show there instead of /oat/!

>>161810
We stuck a picture of kelpie porn on the doors as a distraction, this plan is foolproof.

Well, /meta/'s been busy tonight...

If I can just add my own idea, there does exist a general don't be a dick/don't cause drama intentionally rule.
As far as I know, that rule is sort of held on the mod's discretion, as being strict about this will force mods to ban a lot of people for simple comments. I also think mods do consider the big picture before reacting to it. Usually if your posting starts to cause a lot of riots and you're not exactly playing nice, mods should take action and warn you or ban you if warnings are ignored.

I don't think mods should ever intervene just because you don't share an opinion that the thread promotes or that you argue for that opinion.
But you should argue about the facts of that opinion and don't lash out at people or argue against individuals (in the first place) and maybe even groups.

If there's a thread saying "Rainbow Rocks is amazing", mods shouldn't stop you from pointing out all the reasons why rainbow Rocks isn't amazing at all. However if you're gonna argue like "It's people like those in the thread that shows me the fandom is getting filled with folks who don't know 2 shits about quality entertainment" or "hey, you, who posted that. If you really think that that post is true, you should get yourself checked for autism, cause that post reeks of it", those comments are really not necessary and don't contribute to the discussions at all. That's the stuff I don't think you can fault mods for acting upon.

as a poster, I really don't wanna lose you, but I don't think mods should pardon you for being consistently fierce and personal in your discussion style on /pony/. a shame, though, you can make pretty thoughtful threads.

>>161729
I was actually there the day Moony did that, and it left me kind of confused...
about Moony, I mean.
I like Moony lots, but he was wrong in that instance.

>>161808
Funny. I was permabanned under another name and was let back in. I knew I was trolling pretty hard, though. I'm not sure if it was on purpose, though. I changed internet providers and moved.

>>161824
>saying that you're ban evading
do you even try

>>161792
My ban is for not apologizing for the things I was accused of.

>>161820
>However if you're gonna argue like "It's people like those in the thread that shows me the fandom is getting filled with folks who don't know 2 shits about quality entertainment" or "hey, you, who posted that.

That's the stuff I don't think you can fault mods for acting upon.
Are you aware that not only have I never done anything of the sort, but that what landed me here is specifically speaking out against the people who do that in /pony/ every day? That's literally all I was doing when they burst in and accused me.
I was the one person speaking out against that.

I don't honestly know what exactly transpired.
I know you can make comments on people sometimes too, at least earlier this year.
Can't vouch for these days, though, since now I have been sticking to /oat/ again for a longer while.

>>161829
Here's what happened.
http://www.ponychan.net/chan/ep/res/46656+50.html

>>161830

Yeah, I figured it might've been in that thread.

All the other threads I've seen you in make you appear pretty rational and normal, but you were definitely and unquestionably intentionally starting drama. Using satire as part of an argument with someone you're standing next to and speaking to is really over the line on hostility and contributes to an culture of hostility that we've really wanted off of /pony/ for a long time because it tends to scare people away. That is absolutely against the rules, and while I wouldn't say breaking the rule is grounds for a permaban, arguing that you have in fact done nothing wrong and stating that you will not stop performing those actions is pretty much begging for it.

In Ms. Tarn's overdue defense, I will say that we get a little overly spirited and elitist at times on /pony/, and this may have caused a bad first impression that inspired her to act overly dismissive in terms of the opinions of others. Exceptionally, in fact. There are those who are so determined to save face that they would make excellent plastic surgeons. I would get a nosejob from Dulset Tarn any day. She would remove my nose entirely and deny it ever existed, but the craftsmanship would be exceptional.

It's not okay. I think that the dividing line is to remember that, while sharing headcanon is great, insisting on headcanon is not. As strongly as we might feel about our opinions, we need to be careful not to allow those opinions to impugn upon the opinions of others. In practice, this is a very fine line, because a number of /pony/ visitors love this show and their personal interpretation of the world of Equestria is so dear to them that they cannot help but lash out at others who have a differing interpretation. Thus, the respecting-others-headcanon line is crossed regularly on almost every thread where there is the slightest degree of passion.

Other times, worries about the future of the show overflow, lending to a streak of trollposting that can (as in this case) last the duration of a season. Sometimes, I wonder if perhaps we should impose a general negativity restriction, because fandumb [tvtropes.org] is as cancerous as it is inevitable, and multiple times I've watched it ravage the userbase of /pony/ simply in the spirit of free speech. I can't blame them, their concerns are very real to them, but they are being needlessly disruptive and it can last for over a year as it did in the case of Fluttershutter converting every thread into a "Twilicorn is bad and only by doing this will Hasbro know" thread. Fandumb is bad, there might be a place for it (maybe this is what /ef/ should have been) but it simply sours anything good that could have come from /pony/.

>>161789
Glass houses and rocks and such. Personally, I think I'm just misunderstood, because I write in such a way that few can be bothered to read and fewer still to interpret as I originally intended.

Since Dulset kept asking for proof of his wrongdoings, here's a couple I found from the /ep/ thread.

>admitting that he's going to keep harassing people about a certain subject

>>161836
>calling his actions a "crusade"
>admitting that it's supposed to annoy people

If this isn't "inflammatory posting", I don't know what is.

>>161836
>admitting that he's going to keep harassing people about a certain subject
That's a bad way to look at the post.
It's just a reminder that whatever criticism is being thrown at EqG can also be applied to season 4, but it gets overlooked everytime.
>>161837
Also here, if the crusade consists of pointing out stuff in an objective fashion, it's his right to do and to continue.
It may sound like he's saying he's gonna keep trolling everyone, but it's not out of line if he's not trolling in the first place.

>>161838
He's purposefully entering threads just to post dissenting opinions strewn with inflammatory remarks, with the intent of "annoying" people.

Also known as: Trolling.

>>161827

If it's a thread about discussing EqG, he can enter to talk about EqG if he wants.
That's what the thread is about.
If opinions are in topic of a thread, even if others don't like those opinions and even if he knows, it shouldn't be an offense.

>>161841

>Intentionally going from thread to thread looking for an opportunity to give out a certain opinion that you know is going to aggravate people

I don't think he should be banned, but if you don't think this is something not to tell someone to knock off, I don't know what you're smoking. It's just trying to cause trouble.

I think the main point here is that professing ignorance of opposing viewpoints doesn't fool everyone forever.

As far as being a flame warrior [www.flamewarriorsguide.com] goes, this has always been Ms. Tarn's shtick.

I hope you're happy.

>>161850
Actually I am.

>>161853
Well then, ok. That's good.

>>161841
No, apparently if you speak out against people shitting on others too much, the mods come and threaten you.

As many people here have ignored and so I will reiterate one more time, I never spoke out against anyone else's opinions in my metaphorical "crusade". I only jumped in specifically when I saw those same users badmouthing the people who enjoy Equestria Girls. Apparently that was harmful to the atmosphere of /pony/, but daily circlejerks shitting on other fans is exactly what the mods want on /pony/.

I can't wait to see where things go from here.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

I used to badmouth Packrat when I saw him bullying fans of S2. In the short term it was immensely satisfying. In the long term it was just another regrettable chapter in a sad relationship with the fandom. It's not worth it. Not by a mile.

>>161860
But three rights make a left!

>>161857

In that case, report them, and they will be dealt with separately.

>>161862
But I don't badmouth anyone.

>>161864
They were not. The mods like that stuff.

>>161867
Right, but you said
>I only jumped in specifically when I saw those same users badmouthing the people who enjoy Equestria Girls.

I'm telling you it's not worth jumping in, just like it wasn't worth me jumping in on Packrat.

>>161868
Well I'm not going to sit and let it go unchallenged every single day. If reporting doesn't work, pointing out their hypocrisy is my next best approach. If I'm expected to just leave it be forever, so say the powers that be, then honestly I'd rather challenge that than stay.
You gonna add me on skype?

>>161869
skype name is the same ^

>>161837
What, so people don't have a right to be slightly annoying in this world anymore? Answer that for me, please.

And I still feel like the mods haven't presented much to base their decision on. Just "Everyone knows you're bad, stop pretending otherwise," and... pretty much that's it actually. Oh! and I think I did see one or two pics posted of vaguely explained context and meaning supposedly proving the allegations. Mods, you should seek to emulate how Mooney acted more when he was here, because with the lack of any organized presentation of evidence it sounds very much like you all just don't personally like Dulset, and are acting on that and justifying yourselves based on the fact a lot of other ponies don't, either.

I love that I specifically call my actions a "silly little crusade" and the mods actually take the word crusade at face value, claiming that it's "language quite revealing about my intentions".

>>161860

Be nice if the mods actually came down on some of the actually toxic posters instead of just the vocal critics.

Seriously, the mods come down on dulset, but let people like geldon and nostalgiaschmaltz, who insult their fellow posters far more often than dulset has, run wild. The mods are acting more like bouncers letting their friends get away with anything rather than act like harbingers of any moral or even rule-based authority. Some professionalism on the part of the mods could really do us all some good.

I'm honestly considering flooding the mods with perfectly legitimate reports until the place is clean.

Reporting doesn't work and we all know it. I remember a time titanium dragon told people with a certain opinion to kill themselves, the post was reviewed, and given the A-OK. Until the mods abide by a stricter standard of conduct and follow a more orderly and stringent set of rules, reporting will do nothing if you're on the mod's friend list.
