Holy shit, people take things way to seriously.
You post something dumb, you get failed. If you cry about it, its not Revscene's fault-you need a) a shrink to prescribe drugs, or b) a dermatologist to prescribe thicker skin.
It's a barometer for how things you say are being taken. I posted in a thread about something stupid, didn't make my point clearly(google is still awesome guys. Yay google!) and took some fails. At that point, I can either-continue on to explain my point, or walk away.
At the end of the day, I really don't give a fuck. It's an internet forum, not my resume.

You don't need to react to anything. Ignore it. This is not a diss whatsover, but basically, ignore it like we've had to ignore you in the past. Quote:

People thank posts for the most lamest and repulsive things. That's not exactly efficient either and not a good dose of forum contribution. And lol... if fails disenchant people from posting, they got other problems to consider. They really need to get out more, haha.
I don't quite think its a matter of using strong language. Ulic brought this up (coincidently) that its better to be a kind ruler than to rule with an iron fist. I think the pitfall of Skinnypup was not that he disagreed with everyone but the sheer delivery of his disagreement, plus there was little room for altering his opinion. He can sound so condescending sometimes and honestly who wouldn't get peeved after X times. His reputation was built on that and like the elephants people here are, they won't forget. So whether his next honest disagreement was put nicely or not, people fail him because his reputation for douchery is like 5 miles ahead of him. There are some people here whos voice can command an army because they vocalize themselves well, have logic/appeal, and apply an appropriate stance on it that people (without 12 year old mentalities) can be cool with.
That's just my 2 cents. | I never cared about the thanks or fails like so many people misunderstood about when reading this thread. It was about the guy's attitude. BTW, I agree with your post, and strongly agree with the underlined points.

Nobody was complaining about the inability to fail Shoei or Tachy because they weren't known for failing everything that they didn't agree with. Thanks were around for way longer than the fail button, and Skinny you still have less than a third thanks given as you do fails given. It was that liberal application of the fail button that made being unable to recieve them a big deal for many people here. Whatever. Like they said, maybe opening up fails will put all this to bed.

Only thing I have an issue with is when someone reposts something that was on the NSFW "fucked up shit that makes you laugh" thread and getting massive fails for it. That just discourages ppl to post.
I for one don't frequent that thread often so when someone reposts it in the off topic, it's new material to me. I bet I can speak for a lot of ppl here.

and i know you can adjust how many posts you can view on 1 page, but i have it set to maybe 10 posts per page. So people could just scan the most recent page or even look on the same page they are posting.
i dont fail for reposts though.....im just trying to convey what i think the other people are saying.

Why do people care if they get failed? Does it deem you uncool? Fuckit. I'm just gonna make this post so I can fail myself. I think people need to take this shit less seriously. Its not a popularity contest. You're not more successful in life if you get failed less\thanked more on RS. If people make stupid remarks, you get failed. If you don't like a person, they get failed. At the end of the day, do I give a shit if '604aznmugenracerhondatypeR' thinks I made a stupid post? No. Stop being a bitch and get over your "online e-gangsta" pride.
I personally think it makes RS more fun. I like it.
And who cares if Skinny doesn't have a fail button. This is RS, he can be a prick if he wants. If you don't like it, go to some other forum. I don't particularly think highly of him and think he likes to stroke his own ego online alot. But who cares. He's spends gobs of time maintaining RS. Him being a prick doesn't affect my life. I can ignore him. I've run forums before and hate the fags that always cry foul play. It's not your RIGHT to be on RS. It's a priviledge. We're not customers of RS. We don't pay to be here. If RS loses 5000 whiners I think it would be better anyways.
Think of RS as skinnypups online home. You're welcome in it. But if you don't abide by his house rules he can kick whoever the fuck he wants out. If you don't like his rules, you have a choice to not come back. Afterall, it's his domain.
In the end RS is still a good community with a diverse group of people. You all can bitch and whine of lowballers, and young kids, and whine about the abuse you get from mods. End of the day, YOU ALL COME BACK TO RS EVERY DAY. I'm not fond of Skinnypup, but appreciate all his efforts throughout the years. I'm not trying to defend him, I'm just saying people need to put their online egos aside. Let him power trip on RS if he wants. If you can't handle his opinion then leave.
PLEASE DON'T FAIL ME GUYS. I might not be able to sleep if too many of you fail me.

| You guys are blind if you think this thread is here and grew solely because of whether or not SkinnyPupp is failable or not. Its part of the reason but not the main culprit.
For anyone disregarding this thread as a bunch of whiners or people taking these boards too seriously, well, for the most part people will speak up when something is not done to their liking. Pacificism/appeasement historically has not been rewarded (think Hitler and Chamberlain before ww2 commenced)
SP i do give you props for letting this thread grow and for opening up the flood gates to your fails. I havn't failed you ... thats not why im here. Quote: |
So I have tried to act more like how I might if someone was right in front of me. However, that only really works if all 'sides' have the same attitude. So while I was trying to act 'normal' to people, it never went the other way because of how I used to act. Whenever I disagreed with someone about something, even in a polite manner, there would be a huge backlash and threads would become derailed. Whenever I shared an opinion that was contrary to others, people immediately got REALLY upset, and the thread would become derailed. Whenever I would make a single joking troll remark (like a face when someone asked a dumb question) people would pile on and get all mad, and another thread would derail. So I found that acting 'normal' on the internet doesn't work either, unless it goes both ways.
| I find the above to be quite like the chicken and egg paradox. You continue going rampant because people are giving you shit still. I hope this thread gives you a clean slate then. Most of us here do think you hold a valid opinion at times and it is valued. I'm not perfect either, but we can all try to be a less brazen in our delivery.

This thread is really about Skinny's Totalitarian control over Revscene. I don't think anyone really gives a shit about failing him. It's the problem that he deletes posts and bans people that contradicts his opinion on certain matters, as it makes his points much stronger.
I'm glad Skinny replied to this post as we all actually DO care about RS, if you look at the join dates on people that have contributed to this thread, it's pretty much all pre-07. To be honest we would probably all ignore Skinny's actions if it wasn't for OP, as most of us assumed we would be banned if we spoke against him, literally.
Anyways this thread has gone a long way for RS...iz bez bro

Put the patties on the salad and have a 'burger plate' You have a nice big meal with no sugar, lots of protein, good fat, fiber, vegetables, etc. Have a water or a Coke Zero to drink. And don't try to tell me that ground beef is somehow worse than any other beef because it's ground. If anything, the more various meat it contains, the better. Things like offal (intestines, organs) are REALLY good for you, and other parts like tendon, sinew, all have beneficial nutrition as well that we typically don't get in a 'standard' diet.
Want to eat unhealthy? Order a 24 piece chicken mcnugget set with regular Coke, fries, and have a shake for dessert.
Want to eat healthy at a Greek restaurant? Have a huge oven baked lamb with a horiatiki salad.
Want to eat unhealthy at a Greek restaurant? Order a Pastitsio with a bunch of deep fried tiganitas and Loukoumi for dessert
(actually Greek food is very healthy more often than not, so not the best example but I used it in your honor  . I hope you still get the point, and others will benefit from it too.)
And if anyone thinks the above post was too DOMINATING when making my point, too fucken bad, go watch some Care Bears  But if you have a counter point to make that isn't bullshit I'm more than happy to hear it | 
MY PASTITSIO IS BEST PASTITSIO.

I don't fail people for disagreeing, I fail people who say dumb shit. Like you just did | I think you failed me one time for saying I don't like chicks with bush as much as I like them shaved after you said you like big mean bush.
Thats the kind of shit people cant stand. Thats not a fail, thats a different opinion.

I would never fail someone for saying they have a preference for no bush, but when they say something stupid like natural women are "gross" or "disgusting" that's what gets failed. That's not an opinion or a preference, that is just stupidity.
Edit: And I found the post you are talking about. I can't believe you can remember this shit, and like me misspelling your username. Anyway, yeah you put words in my mouth saying that I think shaved women are 'disgusting' so you deserved that fail. Especially since you said I would be a 'tool' for failing that post.  | |

So...what you're saying is, it's stupid for someone to have an opinion or preference?
Lets use this post that you failed me for in the past: http://www.revscene.net/forums/41242...ml#post7569688 Quote:
Didn't you say the same thing about Carwin and Velasquez? How Brock would destroy those chumps? LOL
Brock hasn't fought in over a year > ring rust > glass chin > has trouble with strikers > facing a dynamic standup fighter like Overeem is surely in Brocks favor | I gave my opinion on Brock/Overeem and talked about how my preference [Overeem] is more likely to win. I don't get why I failed for giving my OPINION or PREFERENCE.

I failed that post in response to your trolling in the first line, and the fact that I did NOT say that Brock would beat CV, in fact I was pretty sure Cain would win.
This thread has suddenly become "I am butthurt that I got failed please explain whyyyyyyyyyyyy" 
This actually perfectly illustrates the issue. People get really upset that they get failed by me, even when they know they deserve it, or at least it can easily be explained. I'm not sure why it's so hard to understand... if you say something dumb or try to put words into my mouth in an attempt to make me look stupid, then you get failed. Don't get upset, just go with it... Like people have said: WHO FUCKEN CARES??? | |

Funny thing was, I wasn't trolling. I was searching for something in the MMA thread awhile ago, and saw your post about how "I can't wait till Brock destroys this chump Carwin". I thought it was interesting, so added it to my post.
I'm not upset at all, you mentioned your failing criteria, so I was just using that post as an example to why it got failed for "stupidity" when I was just giving my opinion | |

Like I said, I do NOT fail people for simply having a different opinion than my own. I LOVE that we all have different opinions, and it's the reason we come to forums like this. Also, it would go completely against what the fail button is for.
If I failed you, it is because I had the perception that you said something offensive or dumb, or at the very least jokingly failable in response to a joke/troll/sarcasm/etc.
Of course being a Brock fan I WANTED him to win. But knowing Cain's wrestling abilities, and the question of Brock's illness, I was predicting a CV win.
So if that fail offended you, I apologize. I hope you see where I am coming from.
And feel free to put me down if Overeem wins, if that makes you feel better, because I really think Brock is going to destroy him  I am a huge fan of both though, so I won't exactly be sad if Overeem crushes Brock. Puncher's chance, small gloves, etc.

re-edit version : i believe i read somewhere that when someone fails someone else, they have to give a reason as to why they failed the other person. So perhaps thats why some people are asking "why are you failing me" but instead of those people getting a response back, they get MORE fails. Did i read that correctly, or there's no such thing as having to explain to people why they got failed
