Alright, so I'm going to go ahead and clean up the spam. Regardless of Bean Rua or not, if you're not contributing to the thread I don't want you in it.
TO THOSE SAYING "WHO CARES":
Apparently, you and quite a few other people care if you consistently feel the need to go into threads and "act" like you don't care. If you don't care, you wouldn't feel the need to post. Don't be a part of the problem, folks. Be a part of the solution.
Edit: Actually, going to move this out of BR.
This is worthy of seirous discussion?

Learn how to correctly read my posts, and you'd see why they were deleted. Also, I'm not amused by what you're trying to pull so I highly suggest you drop it and move on. If you don't care as much as you're saying you don't, you shouldn't even be in this thread.

It was spam and added nothing to the discussion at hand.

Quote from Kueh;1030352:
The actions of others is never an excuse to do something bad.
Especially when the bad action you're trying to justify is the very same one that stirred you. If someone calls you a name, and you call them a name back, you're both guilty. If it wasn't okay for them to do it, it's not okay for you to do it either (and for the same reasons).
Logically and morally, that's right, and that's all that matters, or else i'll be bringing flawed personal opinions into this.
I didn't say that raping someone and being an internet bully are comparable "bad things" (that is, that they are equally bad). I said that justifying internet bullying because the other person "trolled" is just as wrong, and for the exact same reasons as justifying rape because the victim dressed provocatively (that is, that they are equally wrong).
I see. Apologies for misunderstanding then, I thought the former was what you were insinuating.

Quite simply, situations like this happen for one reason, and that's a lack of understanding. Why do people call those that are different from them weird/crazy and what not? It's a lack of understanding, they have never experienced something like that, and it is natural to want to put it away, as they fear it. (Not that relevant I suppose).
The funny thing with this is we're always told and always say that, "You shouldn't judge others."
Yet what are the majority doing here?
They're judging Splat because of his posts. A lot of you just think he's a troll or any other stereotypical thing, when it'd be better to think outside the damn box.
The few posts that I've read about Splat where he gives some of his background.
If they can be proven, he's 21 or so, has ADHD and probably some other "disorders" and has a rough life at home.
The fact that people won't give him the benefit of the doubt is the problem, along with not wanting to just ignore him.
Those that say they hate him and he needs to GTFO, are the ones that say it doesn't matter when it's brought to their attention or the Mods attention.
Yet, if it didn't matter, why are you replying to his threads?
Keeping a single minded concept towards a situation and not wanting to see the other side of the coin are why things like this happen in my opinion :sigh:

It's funny how some members preach the word tolerance - until they are blue in the face. Yet, when push comes to shove - I guess publicly insulting someone you don't like wins over being tolerant.
There really should be no debate about this and any discussion will arrive at the same conclusion. Visibly acting in such a hostile manner isn't proper at all, if you can't even tolerate Splat's very existence ... you have a tough road ahead of you in life.
While I have my own personal qualms with the ignore function, if you must resort to using it - then please do as such. It's a bit disheartening to have to read such childish responses from some members at times - even more disheartening since you not only waste the Staff's time ... but you're talking to an actual human being.
You* all have no shame. While I'm not going to say everyone on Mabination is a horrible individual, because that's not true and is extremely pessimistic - as well as lacking in self reflection ... seeing some of the things said against Splat is quite sickening.
*Referring to people who actively make their mission to negatively comment on EVERYTHING Splat posts.

Let's have a little discussion about the infamous member we've all grown to either love, hate, or tolerate.
You forgot "dont know much about the situation and just dont care".
Man, everyone's way too riled up over something that just isnt that serious.
Yes, he does get spammy, and posts irrelevant things 90% of the time, but he's not breaking any rules right? It isnt hard to ignore a thread guys. It's not gonna cost you an arm and a leg to put him on your ignore list.
The fact that it took this thread and the mods threatening bans and infractions to get some people on the same page with the situation is sad. And lbr, we all know that if someone gets banned over messing with him all the blame will go to him and the mods because it sure as hell wont be their fault.
Put on the big girl panties and move the fuck on.

What is even more sad is the fact that it wasn't just a threat, there will be bannings taking place because of this situation. The staff just needs to sort out everything before they take place.
The fact of the matter is: You can't constantly break our rules and expect us to look the other way. We've warned everyone NUMEROUS times about the behavior we've seen. The staff is tired. We're tired of the lack of respect for the rules and everyone on the forums. If you can't respect this community, you don't deserve the staffs respect of letting you off with a warning. So yes, the bans will be implemented fairly soon and the only person those who are banned can blame are themselves.

Why those who bullied, made rude comments, and maked fun of Splat just because they hate the threads he makes will never be justified.

The worse thing in all of this is that the majority of those who harass Splat for his thread don't have much more quality in their own threads. I don't know how it is in the mabinogi subsections; but the thread he makes on bean rua aren't worse than the majority of the thread there. Heck he even has more content in his threads by genuinely asking question and being curious about stuff.

If you're looking for decency on the internet, then I'm sorry, but you're really at the wrong place. Sure, I can decide not to be an asshole, but there are two sides to an argument, and my side is just as valid as the other. I'm sure this applies to many other people. None of us like his threads, and we want it to stop. If he can put the slightest amount of knowledge into his posts, then sure, I'll deal with that. But the amount of bullshit and retardation he posts is overwhelming.
I was pretty sure one of the rule of this forum was to be decent towards other. Your argument is that his threads annoys you. Everyone posted the simple solution; ignore them. You said the cat icon bother you, there are way to fix that. Block the image itself with adblock or something.

If
you're looking for a forum that will put up with your
lack of decency, then I'm sorry, but
you're really at the wrong place.
You guys wanna whine about how childish someone is, yet you're childish yourselves. Stop expecting someone to grow up if you can't even be the bigger person.

Honestly, I think Splat gets a lot of leniency BECAUSE of how mean people are to him. Like that one kid in school that does something bad, but the teachers see him getting picked on every day so they kinda just ignore it and let it slide because he has it rough enough already. I feel that if anyone else did the things he does we would have been banned or at least warned/infracted multiple times by now.
Of course, this isn't helped by the fact that when he does do something against the rules everyone sits in his thread insulting him rather then just pushing 'report' and getting on with their lives.
