Hi, I'm Ryu Ken. I'm new here and I just wanted to say hello. What miscreants should I look out for then to be burned at the stake and who are the big-brained posters?

Ken.

Oh and i suppose he couldnt just file down an address of a friend or a relative?

It's been done before - Reynolds did it.

"Pointless Babble" appropriate name really for the amount of stuff you've spouted out without giving a thought.

Hmm... I can't think what might bother someone considering signing up more; kids posting junk threads they can ignore, or the animosity shown to new sign-ups by the established board members. It's a toughy isn't it?

So what exactly is "Reynolds' style", Quint? ;)
Using words with more than five letters? Hey! I must be Reynolds too then! Ooh... so is Meka, and Goatboy, and anyone else with a more than slightly seasoned vocabulary.

Have you any idea of the number of people in the UK that are actually adept at speaking/writing their language? It's not at all possible there could be more than two of them posting on the SR forums, right? Woah! Wait a minute, look! I used SR to abbreviate Special Reserve! That means I'm pretending to be new too, right? It's also inconceivable that I might read a few posts on the day of my arrival, and see the term "GAD" being used... even more absurd I might actually be smart enough to associate that with "Gameaday". But should I after those stunning revelations, actually start to use the term then I'm instantly someone rejoining under a different name, right?

*Sighs*

So you base your accusations *BEFORE* you collected your "evidence" on MSM, purely on the facts above? Hey, guess that makes 50% of the forum Reynolds, what a shocker that must be!

You ought to take a look at your last comment, about wondering why you bother, maybe it's time you paid it some serious thought. Why do you bother verbally assaulting someone the minute they arrive on the forums, solely on the loose assumption they're someone else, because they too are moderately gifted in the use of the English language? I'm certainly stumped on the question, perhaps you'd like to shed some light on it for me, because I know that personally I am more bothered by cretins such as Herc doing this routine than I am clowns like Cow spamming.

Hear hear!

THAT was sarcasm by the way.

And so was that.

And that.

Nice reply Quinty, I wouldn't expect less from someone that rules! :D

Oh, and this reply doesn't mean that I am getting envolved, so don't start shouting at me! :D

No no no. I only do it to Reynolds. Why? because i know his style, and i have an insider (Who knows him) who his new user is. If you take off you're rose-tinted glasses for a second, the reason why the numbers are down is because of people like Reynolds, Shrubber continuing to re-sign up and post cr@p.

In fact it's moments like this when i really consider why i bother sometimes. Okay it's ALL me and Hercules's fault for the lack of numbers coming on here, i suppose we post continual spam, we cheat and copy reviews almost every week and we are generally a bunch of @$$'wipes ruining it for everyone else.

That was sarcasm by the way.

Uh uh... you don't even stop for two seconds to think about the consequences of your actions if you ARE wrong. Herc has his head shoved up his rear 24/7, so that particular train of thought never even occurs to him, personally I feel it's about time one of the staff waits for a close post between RM18 and Ryu then IP checks them. If the address doesn't match then Herc gets banned.

I sit here reading through this tripe from people day in day out, you're not just doing it to the people you "suspect" anymore, you've both started doingit to every single JAT/Newbie who appears on the forum. Snuggly wonders why the numbers here aren't as high as he would like? Doesn't take a genius to fathom the reason out.

So you expect someone is creating a new username to hide on, ever thought about just speaking to the staff about it aside? Nooo... far too sensible a course of action, lets just outright accuse them BEFORE we have any proof (the pair of you were slinging mud long before your supposed MSM conversation), and continue to insult him/her to the point they get sick of us and leave. Who cares if we're wrong?

I'm just surprised I haven't gotten any of this cr*p from anyone yet... God help the person who one day decides to do so, because I know I won't settle for anything less than blood over their ignorance.

Meh, by saying that he knew too much, i'm not saying that he's TOO clever.

I said that in the respect of how things work round here. I.E, the words we use, the way we use **, what kind of stuff is appropriate for GAD, Telling people where they should and should'nt post things.

I'm sorry if you misinterpreted (sp) what i said.

M'kay?

Meh, Babbly guy, we've compiled a list of evidence which means it cant be a coincidence (If you've seen what we've seen then you'd understand) What's Hercules done to warrant a banning? Merely questioning this JAT, if Ryu Ken does'nt like it then he can Sod off. (Sorry for quoting the whole thing.
