Maybe we should use this as an excuse to go spam their forums and brainwash a bunch of little kids into loyal zombie Shirerithians.

Back in the day I simply posted a thing saying we didnt' want spammers... I say we spam them back... E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

And it's Harry Potter.. they need help! I think that is Harry Pothead... E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

It is becoming the next "cult thing"... like Star Wars! Too bad it is nowhere near as good as Star Wars...I am going to petition the Kaiseress to allow the military to perferm some "training exercises" on forums like this.

Perhaps this is my online hippie tendancies coming to fruition, but why not be nice and just delete this thread and let them be? THEN if they do it again attack...

Cause war is fun? They were warned? Trout live in trees? You do not love me anymore?Pick one.. E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

look... the thing about spammers is that they don't do it again. They get one person to go around to every damned board on the server and post once, never looking back, hoping that they get someone from that... this is one of the reasons we don't like spammers, is that they don't care about the nation enough to even look back to se if someone is interested...I like ari's Idea of multibabeling their post and sending it back to them... nothing extreme, don't waste our time on these guys too much because then they winif they are stupid enough to come back, then we definitely should bomb their collective arse

Too bad the dissociated post is no less coherent than the original in this case... In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to a Finn.

KILL THEM!!!! KILL THEM ALL!!!!!!!1 E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

Or just be nice to them and hope they learn their lesson without becoming bitter? In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to a Finn.

If we are nice to them, then that proves their tactic worked, which is totally against the point. If we show up bitter, on the other hands, then perhaps they will realize that inciting the anger of people like us with spam is a bad idea.So, in other words, lauching the military their way encourages them to knock it off.

TO WAR!@ E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

I don't know if you see things the way I do, but in my world, getting along with people is a value in itself... think of it. We aren't the only people responding to these spammers. However, in the case of this Harry Potter one, it seems that I was the only person who responded (in the end) in a nice and diplomatic way... and what happened? He apologised. Twice, in fact. Once after the Dissociated-Press reply and once after the diplomatic one.Let's say you're a person who has just built this über-cool new board and want people, even people who you don't know, to see it. Unexpectedly most of the people that you advertise to respond with "Go to hell to fuck your dead mother"... but there's this one guy who says that "You know, it's not that one post would be that disruptive, it's just that several posts from several different spammers are. You've learned your lesson now, and I hope you won't post about your board on other people's forums without contributing at least some original thoughts to them first". Of course you'll want to convince that one person to post more on your board - which we will have to refrain from doing (*) - but you'll also be quite susceptible to the ideas of that one nice person. He or she has, after all, has been much nicer to you than expected. This does not mean that we could be evil and brainwash people to become Shirithians... but it does mean that we can tell them to tell their friends that spamming boards is bad. (*) Although we can be nice, the lesson still must be taught. So... no help other than fatherly guidance about how you could become a better person.

But war is fun... E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

I think these people just need to have a lesson taught to them. But I don't think going to war is a good idea because it will only waste our time and *cough* military resourses and will just prove that we care. I don't think we have to sink so low, I mean by going to war with these people we're actually lowering ourselves to their standards. May the hasha be with you

Nah.. they have no standards to lower too...And it's not a waste of time for bored people... E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

Misguidedness and not being up to date on netiquette are not necessarily signs of "low standards"... In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to a Finn.

Thus.. no standards..hehe E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

I thought that Harry Potter was evidence enough that they have no standards....Hogwarts... I say you spam their forum with the very message they left here...picture and all...cannons proly won't work...but...we can fill up their entire front page of their general forum with them...and put them into several post scattered throughout their board...bug the Arses...but them where they won't even look for themm...

I'm a Vengful person.. but generaly pacifistic... And if war must be waged.... at least have an honorable reason and way to fight.. E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

From what I'm understanding of this, us attacking them is lacking in honor, then. The method is one Anarchy21 would use, and thus dishonorable. As for motive, we are choosing one random spammer with a Rowling addiction to attack, just because we are tired of spam and he caught us in the middle of a war anyway. What the PRH is the point of that?!?! Ari's already alerted him of the mistake, so the point's already made. Think of the fool as a newbie learning the ropes, and quit with the bloodshed. War for the sake of itself is not a good reason for it. ~The Solitary Poet of DelvenusEdited by: Solitary Poet 8 at: 8/8/03 11:17 pm

No.. BIG difference from anarchy 21.. they simply attacked people for no reason, gave no reason, and didn't let you know who they were... We would give them a reason.. and they would know who we are and such... E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.
