I never knew that was a rule? Is that new, or just an anti douchebag measure?

meh, its not as bad as saying that Dumbledore dies just a week before the book where he actually dies is released, as I did at school, didnt know where to hide when I actually reached the page where it happens...
anyway, shouldn't be considered a spoiler, as its there for anyone who has read the books. True, some people are waiting for the series, and it might be not the best thing to do, but would you do something if someone spoiled now the batman film, for example? I have not seen it yet and I could say its a spoiler and he should be banned for it, but its stupid imo. (or at least thats what my common sense says...) Its out there, and has been out for a few years already (in the aSoIaF case), so you've had plenty of opportunity to do it.
and to ban someone for discussing the fifth book of the series, in which the whitewalkers do this or that and you thought i was going to spoil it and started to freak out..., that should not be bannable imo...

of course if he has repeatedly done it, its a different manner

 :lol:

Well, alrighty then.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

The part about Tyrion is just speculation, so if you read that and felt anything was spoiled don't worry. It may or may not happen.

I'm not sure about this ban guys. I regularly ban people who say spoilers to shows I like. I'm not sure why people call me a bad admin though. Any ideas guys?

Most of us are currently living off relatives, friends, parttime-jobs or savings, to be able to work as much and cheaply as possible.

Thax has taken a liking to using chat stir up arguments about race (borderline racism in most cases) and regularly spamming with spoilers to later Game of Thrones seasons for several months, solely to grief, and if I searched his chat logs I would probably find even worse things that weren't posted.  I have warned him repeatedly in the past to behave, have muted him when I'm on, and told him that he will end up being banned when people start complaining.  If you recall, Zisa had a breakdown on these forums because Thax, on alternate accounts, went on racist rants daily and provoked Zisa into tk'ing him and being banned for it.

This time, he was griefing.  Spamming the chat with spoilers to anticipated or popular things is griefing.  For those who don't know, griefing is just finding ways in a multiplayer game to ruin the enjoyment for others, often without in game penalty (except from server admins who catch and prevent it)

http://forum.meleegaming.com/announcements/official-server-rules/
No abuse of in-game chat (racism, insulting, griefing...)

He's breaking the rules.  He has a history of doing the same thing.  I banned him for 24 hours.

That's my excuse.  What's the excuse for this thread, in general discussion, posted by one of the most notorious Ban Request Forum trolls?
