Ignoring people only makes it so you don't see the droppings directly, the board makes it clear when someone you ignored replies to you. I could see my post sandwiched between his message board diarrhea. Obviously the chump was replying to my post, and quite literally everything that dude posts is wrong, so I had to click "see this post" to get a laugh out of it. And he didn't disappoint.

message boards are serious business

Anyone that posts here a lot and has frequent rep and quote interaction would figure out very quickly if they got shadowbanned. 

"Hmm - that's weird - it appears that I have 0 rep and 0 quotes from my last 30 posts"

Shadow banning is fucking stupid.

What is shadow banning? 

You still have posting abilities but nobody else can see your posts. You’ve been banned but you haven’t been told you’re banned. It’s common on Reddit.

MotownHorn being the one neg rep for this post is so hilarious and on point.

He promises he's done with the thread THIS time.

 

Or next time maybe.

Or the time after that.

The solution is shadow bans. Don't let the person know they are banned and just let them post aimlessly into the void. Don't tip them off that it's time to run out and grab a new public VPN. Hell, let other shadow banned users interact with each other, so they don't get realize they're quarantined from the rest of the site. It's worked like a charm on multiple boards I've moderated.

This is greatness.  And let us lurk for shits and giggles.

2.0 is spystud13 or ss13 - how do you guys not know that lol

That’s explains everything. He came unfucking hinged on me once, immediate ignore. I love tennis but stay away from that thread as much as I can, it’s one of his little corners on this site.

I have had many run-ins with Derka on the hoops boards. Somehow I missed this thread and was like... why are the basketball boards so peaceful all of a sudden... and so boring?  Well, now I know why.

I'm sad to see Derka go, but in my view he bullies far more than he is bullied. He loves to attack people, inflame a situation, and call names, and then in the end try to gaslight everyone into thinking HE was the one who was attacked.  I have seen it over and over again. I've also seen him repeatedly derail a thread away from a positive discussion and on to whatever topic he wants. And it is very often an inflammatory topic where he is inventing an argument so that he can do what he loves... argue with huge longcat multi-posts that just wear you out. 

Classic example is reminding everyone over and over that he was the only one who thought we shouldn't have hired RT and everyone else is a small minded sunshine pumper. Man it was getting tiresome.  But I always tried to de-escalate the situation because I know about his mental health issues.  F the people who TRY to stir him up knowing about his issues.  That was also ruining the board.

I don't necessarily think he should have been banned, but he was given clear choices and the consequences for those choices were known to him when he made them. He knew he would be banned and just kept on digging in.  It is sad to see, but not at all surprising.

As time passes, I'm hopeful he will be invited back. That said, I'm sure he has already found a way to get past any bans and is already posting under a new handle.

Just caught up on all of this. It’s incredible how much self-worth people put into the weight of some message-board users’ opinion about them. I know @Vic Mackey said what I’m trying to say in better words  some years ago. It just never occurred to me to give a shit what random internet users think about me. I guess not everyone is wired that way, and it’s sad to see it impact people negatively on the real world.

Derka is legitimately mentally ill. That's the only explanation of why he would keep doing all of this in this manner day after day, year after year. He flat out can't stop himself. 

Telling him to put someone on ignore or to leave is invalid because the dude mentally and emotionally is incapable of doing it. He's incapable of moderating himself. 

I don't know if the dude was mentally stable before in his youth but if he was the internet completely broke him. I feel bad for his mom as she has to feel completely helpless as to why her son is letting a stupid Internet slap fight ruin his life. 

Also was Bob the site owner when it was shaggybevo and Rick became site owner when shaggy got sued out of existence?

We just using real names now?  Because I have a few things to say to you, Donny.

 

 

 

 

note: I know no one named Donny. If you are named Donny, I was not talking about you. So fuck off, Donny. Yes, that was directed to you, Donny.

Well if everyone knows that then shouldn't we all be treating him accordingly? Stop antagonizing him and just put him on ignore if you don't have the restraint?Do you go out and antagonize mentally ill people in your day to day life?

Wait, you probably do. You seem like the type to kick kids with downs syndrome in the nuts

Well this sucks. I’ll miss you, Derka. We had a run in or two over basketball opinions, but you accepted my apology when I felt I was out of line and offered one up in return. It won’t be the same there without you.

But seriously, Derka received no different behavior that any other poster here. It was his reactions to that treatment that was a lot of the comments about "Derka-ing up threads" etc. I put him ignore long ago because interacting with him sapped fun from this site. I don't think expecting him to do the same (put users that are too antagonizing to him on ignore) was that much to ask/expect from him. I said it a number of pages back - why should he get any special treatment on this site? Either from the users or the admins?

I am going to miss Derka. It's clear he genuinely loves the University and his posts usually are informative. Yes, there are rants but you can gloss over them instead of making fun. It's ok if you don't agree with his takes but who is to say who is correct. Some people can't help but bully (especially on the internet) and I believe this site is set up to encourage that behavior. I also think the 🖕 reaction is offensive. We should have thumbs up and down instead.

This board is bad for your mental health if you use it as an outlet and not get the professional help you need. 

There are more than a few posters who think I’ll just post on Surly about my life problems and maybe that will help. Yes, it can give you support but a trained professional should be the one to help you, not this board.

Holiday family bullshit thread disagrees.

the biggest question is about rants (by anyone) or big blocks of text (by anyone). when i see those, i generally skim the beginning and then, you know, scroll past them and go on living my life. if someone takes the time to unload like that, and another person takes the time and reads it, who's the crazy one, honestly?
