[quote]Right now, if you go on and piss off two of my good friends in game, then I start a game and they tell me what a twat you are, I'm not going to play with you, sight unseen. This site will make it easier for me to do that, and therefore easier for me to avoid playing games I don't enjoy with people who are likely to offend me.[/quote]Yes, I understand this. As an elitist, clique-building is what you do. Great. Wonderful. Do I support the creation of a tool that will facilitate mas

(quoting alban987) [quote]I'm still not getting how this is 'elitist'[/quote] Because you deleted the ban I posted on you, but if someone were to post a ban on me, there would be no way for me to delete it. Hence, you and your clique are the elite. The rest are peons. [quote]If there are a set of
[quote who="ZehDon" reply="5" id="2204727"] The culture of DotA is rather a direct result of the mindset of the vocal people who continually devise ways of seperating themselves from the 'n00bs'; people who think that they're better than everyone else.[/quote] Quoted for truth.

Yeah, I think it's kinda broken and overpowered, but I'd hate to play without it. It makes the game go much faster once everyone has one. So, um, maybe it should be moved to the artifact shop.
[quote who="Ouchy Dathurts" reply="1" id="2204635"] Quoting stolivodka, reply 24Drama, politics and administrator corruption - Just what this community needs! What was that someone said earlier about getting your DotA culture out of our game? Without DotA you don't have "our" game. Whether you want it or not the culture is coming. Either live with it or find a different genre. All communities of the same genre are cut from the same cloth. The larger the community i
[quote who="TheTrav" reply="25" id="2204629"]some stuff[/quote] This thread is about dgbanlist.com. Are you pretending that the technical competence and trustworthiness of the person who designs, runs and operates that site isn't relevant? Yes, I was talking about your dumb idea. It's just a complex convoluted solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Banlists are dumb, first off. Just an elitist exercise in telling everyone how "elite" you are and bragging about how many noob
Non-constructive!? Even a member of Stardock thinks that alban should take the site down. Sometimes, the most "constructive" thing you can do when dealing with a really, REALLY bad idea is just put it out of its misery. The system that you propose is dumb, because when confronted with a rating between 0 and 10, just about everyone chooses either 0 or 10. You want a guy who doesn't even know how to sanitize his form inputs to code up this crazy complicated system just so that everyone
[quote who="alban987" reply="18" id="2204540"] the only one I made was my test one. I deleted a bunch of crap people had spammed onto it before I locked it down... like a youtube video of a turtle humping a shoe, etc.[/quote]You deleted my ban of you, which had a reason every bit as legit as "rage quitter". Normal, regular peons (not you or your friends) have to use that stupid "appeal" system (where you are still blacklisted, you just are allowed to have "your say"), but not alban! His
Just bumping this to point out how alban went ahead and created this site anyways, since he wants to be big, important and the center of attention. Kiss his butt and all of your enemies will be blacklisted and none of your friends! When me and about a dozen other people added alban to the list for reasons every bit as legitimate as "rage quitter", all of our bans were removed. Also, banned for epic php failure.
How cute the way he deletes everything except his "test" ban and the ban on "Xira" he posted under someone else's name. Alban is a tiny little godking on a tiny little hill, indeed! Again, I am publicly declaring that my global ban on alban is legit and has been filed, yet it was deleted from the site. If alban is already this corrupt when he doesn't have anyone actually using the site, imagine how he'd be if hundreds of hosts used his list.
[quote who="alban987" reply="10" id="2203538"] [quote]Quoting InfiniteVengeance, reply 8 Based on what I was reading and experiencing first hand I thought this might be a useful tool for the community. Well as a majority of the community has now told you - you thought wrong.[/quote] A vocal minority does not make a majority.[/quote]You sound like the guy in your avatar.
I made a legitimate ban post - alban is indeed banned from any game I will ever host - and my ban post was removed by alban. Already, the corruption has begun. Alban obviously created this lame site so he could be some kind of bigshot lording over the DG community with everyone sucking up to him to ban their enemies and unban themselves. This whole project is sick and corrupt to the bone. GTFO and stop infecting our culture with this elitist nerdgod crap.
