Topic: Osama Bin Laden is dead

[Jeremy.west]

its really happy to see that laden is dead. but question is who will be next?
because CIA make laden and America kill him with wasting lots of <Jeremy, foul language will not be tolerated here.> money.
how many laden are created by CIA?

Jeremy, check your PM's

I'm guessing sophisticated spambot.

I saw something like this on the D2X-XL forum a few days ago.

If you are alive, apologies.

[VANGUARD]

anyone new, and you all go and attack them 

I don't know if this person is real or not. I know I have said they some posted legitimate sites, and it turns out not to be a real person, or is, and is just sending out random posts/replies.
Who knows.

It may just be making posts so it can use the gallery... innapropriately?

Never mind that it made a post in every single recent thread on this site in about one hour tops... I was watching this morning.  I left to do some work, came back at most one hour later and this... thing had posted something in every recent thread - and then some.

It may be a person playing a practical joke (Karx is a good programmer  ).  If it was a spambot I'd think it would be back by now, spamming whatever it's supposed to spam.  I'll check the gallery.

....

The other thing I can think it could be doing is looking at people's profiles to find out emails.

And if it's not either of those, whoever it is is not very intelligent.

I'm with Vanguard, I think you're being quick to judge. I notice newbies to forums can say or do something...inadvisable things before, so they're not ALL spammers or spambots.

[VANGUARD]

now if one stops at a good number like 10 and doesn't exceed farther, then that may be another story.

Not unusual. Made a few posts, then forgot the site exists.

People often get nervous when they join new places because you have no frame of reference when it comes to online communities about the people or ... general dynamic of the place... no faces or body language or whatever.

I've joined places before and said things that weren't well received. Even with the best of intentions you can make a hoarde of enemies in a place. Sometimes it can be that you're shy and want to make a big impression. Sometimes that doesn't work.
Once I joined a small, now defunct (thankfully) game dev community thing. It was really crummy. Anyway I tried to tell people that slagging off newcomers who wanted advice on their games was not completely the way to do because they would be discouraged and not code anymore. But everyone seemed to think that balanced criticism, where you weigh up the good as well as the bad was not on the menu and that *I* was the problem for suggesting that people temper their criticism to avoid a complete thread of slagging-off peoples' hard work (even if it was beginners' quality).
Whatever, anyway, just an example.
Place was run by an angry German anyway. I've nothing against the Germans. I worked for them for a year and they were wonderful, brilliant people but this guy had a child's mentality.

I know how bad language is not great but I bet the Jeremy's post in its original format was pretty funny! It certainly made me laugh, filling in the blank.

[Alieo]

It originally said the long form of "effing" so I was like *AHEM!* Ohhhhh, WiiiiillyPPPPP!!! lol!

[VANGUARD]

and this is coming from a guy who offered us those fun loving Descent 3 taunts 

[Kaiaatzl]

Wait what?

(My taunts are self made or quotes by Shadow the Hedgehog :hmph:).

[VANGUARD]

I knew I should have quoted Alieo. Alieo is the one that offered us those taunts with some language. and he is the one that pointed out the F word to be looked at and removed.

[Kaiaatzl]

I don't know what taunts you're talking about.

I didn't start playing multiplayer until 06 or 08, sooo...
I could have heard some of those taunts or they could have been made by other people after he left.  I mean, like I said, I make my own taunts (which are more like robot taunts in D1/2 actually), or I record lines out of other games.  So I assume some other people do too (and I mean, that's obviously right ).
