Oh, I am an idiot. When I read nicengelman's question, I assumed the gif was taken from some kind of animated show. And then when you said it was Harry Potter, I thought there was some Harry Potter cartoon I'd never heard of.
Dear person going down the list of my comments and downvoting all of them: You can either talk to me or you can spend the rest of your life being a pathetic fucking coward
Dave fixed the account thing a couple weeks ago, and it's someone who was pissed off at me for what I said about famousone. They have been doing the same thing to some other users
There really is a certain irony to it that we spoke out loud and someone that likes famousone is quietly trying to influence the situation rather than speak up
Or the delusion that he would’ve stuck around purely to waste his time on downvoting one person in a community just to annoy them. Doesn’t strike me as petty for all his faults.
Well he literally harassed people until they left the site, so he earned any ire he received. He had an amazing capacity for starting shit and then would just start downvoting the shit out of anyone who disagreed with him, literally going straight down the list of their comments, and now someone that misses him is doing the exact same thing. It's fine to disagree with people but when you're literally telling people to "get the fuck off his website and out of his fucking country" you shouldn't be surprised that the person on the receiving end of that would report you and you end up getting barred. I never reported him because I never thought it would actually accomplish anything, but I was shocked at some of the things he told people, and this site is low on users as it is, we can't have one guy regularly making people quit the site, so I'd much rather be rid of him and have several new users
Lots of us were quite vocal about him, and people reported him all the time, but reporting someone once doesn't just throw someone off the site immediately. I think what actually got him barred was him telling @camebacktosay to get the fuck off of funsubstance. That's beyond out of lines for this site
As I said, cambacktosay reported it, the thread was removed. When a thread is removed, all the comments in it get deleted. It won't be there for you to see, along with anything else that would have been deleted by someone reporting it
I reported several posts where he acted like a jackass because it was easier than reporting each individual comment he made, when you report something and it gets removed, it's gone, there's nothing to find
It always amazed me how fast a simple discussion with him would devolve into toxic namecalling. I didn't downvote him into oblivion, I downvoted any comment he made that could cause or provoke anyone to otherwise leave or get a bad taste from the site. Knowing the history of FS, it won't stop him from making another account and doing it again if he so chooses. I would literally have had no issue with him if he hadn't said what he said. I should have screenshot the comments before reporting him.
@Famousone aside, I hate that people are always complaining about downvotes. People are under no obligation to give upvotes or refrain from downvotes. It is just a way for others to show that they agree or disagree. If someone doesn't like what you have to stay, they can downvote. It really doesn't matter. You can still say what you want to say.
Also, to a large extent, if you don't like what others are saying, you can ignore them. No one has to have heated discussions with users they think are being mean or disrespectful. So many people choose to engage with people behaving inappropriately and then wonder why they continue to do it.
