You guys know it's not like me to be negative in any way, but there's something I think you ought to know. If any of you frequent the Legacy of Kain: Prodigal Sons forums, you will know about the recent turmoil concerning a certain user called Drugaddict.

Not too long ago, he started spamming up the PS forums with literally thousands of threads full of gay porn, then insulting -in Spanish- anyone who criticized him about what he was doing. Not only this, but he insisted on speaking in Spanish even though he was asked not to and that it's part of the forum rules to only use English. When the forum admins started taking serious action against him, he started spamming up their profiles and blogs with more spam and insults. He also bad-mouthed the PS community on other forums, doubtless to our detriment.

Needless to say, it didn't take long for the admins to get pretty pissed off. (Lord) Viper has a plan of action, and wants to spread the word.

Quote:

I am certain that many of you would like to hear from me after what had happened last time to the forums, courtesy of our dearly-beloved user Drugaddict. I gave it weeks of thinking, and I let my rational side take over my emotional one. Let's be clear on one thing here: Drugaddict must be punished for what he did. His dogs, I'll forget about them, but he will pay for this.


And why, you ask yourself, should he pay for this? Because he did something bad, and I don't want him to get away with it. In this world, there is something called justice, and justice must be served - for each and everyone of the Razielim who had to go through this mayhem. Nay, this is not revenge, for if it were, I would have posted his personal information all over the Internet, I would have demanded the help of "Anonymous," I would have destroyed his forum, I would have posted his financial information and destroyed his games and hacked his PC. That's what revenge is, and it's not worthy of an administrator. And this is not a personal score for me to settle with Drugaddict. My position as admin does not allow me to do that. This is being done for Jake Pawloski, and the people who went through this mess.


Drugaddict will pay for what he did. That's a fact. You don't let someone get away with something wrong, especially something of this magnitude. So, two weeks ago, I found a smart, just and logical way to serve justice, and it's called boycott. I was going to post this topic in December, but I see that some people here are already discussing this idea, so I'll do it now.


Here's what we're going to do.


OPERATION "DETOX"

Why Detox?

Well, if you're good enough to make links in your head, you'll understand that we're detoxifying ourselves and the whole LoK community of Drugaddict.


What does it consist of?

1. Boycotting Drugaddict's two games: Segador de Almas (aka Spanish Soul Reaver remake), and his Legacy of Kain: Wrath of the Righteous fan games - and anything that is related to or that comes from him.
2. Completely vanishing his name from the Legacy of Kain community.

Why boycott?

* First and foremost, Drugaddict did not respect another person's (Jake Pawloski's) fan game. He flooded Jake's forum and broke so many rules at once. The damage caused was hard to remove, but luckily we have Raina who is a supersonic-stupid-topic-remover. So, if he doesn't respect a fellow LoKer's fan game, why should we even bother supporting his?
* Second, Drugaddict's behaviour is not worthy of a LoK fan. He continually post rubbish on Raina's blog, and even after I gave him yet another chance, he spammed. He is not to be treated as one of us (LoKers) anymore. He is to be isolated, marginalized, and avoided.
* Third, this is the fairest way to punish him, without resorting to illegal actions such as posting his IP, etc. I've gave this weeks of thinking, and it works. It's just, fair, whatever you want to call it.

What do you have to do?

* Boycott him in every way possible. Block him, isolate him, marginalize him, you get it! Just don't resort to actions that aren't worthy of reasonable, smart LoKers - and nothing illegal. Don't spam him, don't insult him, don't hack him, just boycott him.
* Spread this message far and wide to all other forums and community areas of LoK. I advise you to notify to NR and Eidos forums, but after having asked the permission of the respective mods and/or admins. Tell them what happened, and what we are doing about it, and why (use the text I wrote if it makes things easier). And tell them that we don't want tospread our turmoil on thier forums, but that we only want to warn people of this fan and of what he could do to their forums.

Other:

* If mods/admins of other communities ask me, I will give them (and only them) Drugaddict's IP and his e-mail adress for the sole purpose of blocking him from their forums/communities. Not for any other reason.
* If it helps, you can block his YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/amduartev
* A new rule on the forums has been created, after me giving it some thinking: any other language besides English is forbidden on every public part of this website (though in private areas, like chat and personal messages, other languages are allowed).

Original post found here: http://lokprodigalsons.webs.com/apps/forums/topics/show/3426742-operation-detox?page=last

So, time for a warning and a favor.
The warning is to avoid this person wherever you come across him.
The favor is to spread the word of his misdeeds, and boycott his efforts whenever you can.

People like this need to learn that when the LoK community gets pissed off, we don't take half measures. evil

Given that I (sadly) do not frequent those forums and do not speak Spanish I think I am safe from dealing with the thing that was causing a problem. (it is not a person. It is a thing in my eyes)

I highly doubt this person will come to Gaia. If already on Gaia I don't foresee us getting bothered. If on the rare occurrence that such an action does happen it will be taken care of.

Happy hunting?

Well Tabby... our guild is private so we should be safe. The other active guild affiliates with us so they should know about this too now. If you want one of the crew can poke the captain of 'Circle of Nine' and get him to read this in case he misses it.

In the event he comes to Gaia, we have measures in place that would take care of him a bit faster then the other site aparently. Should he stupidly start trolling Kain or the other crew's profiles we'll get a mod to take care of it. Forums are a bit easier and will be taken care of faster.


I'm actually a bit confused why the admin of the other site let a troll go for as long as he did but to each his own I guess...

Edit:
After reading that admin's post it looks like he doesn't ban at all? User Image

He needs to actually ban/warn everyone involved in that raid and get some more mods on his site. If it happened once it will happen again.

It looks like he waned to do a ban and boycott but it's just boycotting. Banning should have been done a long time ago based on what I read. Still, our Kain will be more than happy to feed trolls to the Reaver

Banning is the easiest way to get rid of someone... he wouldn't even have to worry about the rest of it if that had just been done to begin with :/

I think they would have banned him, but webs apparently doesn't have the 'ban' function, which I think is a bit odd.

It is odd.

It kinda sounds like he needed a mod with the power to do the banning but just didn't have one. It was almost like their just not used to having to deal with trolls so they weren't sure what to do.

If it's a newer site it could just be your admin was to nice and not fully sure what exactly to do about trolls yet.

Yes, I think that's probably what happened.
