TROLLING and FLAMING

[Ben]

thank you for the apology,

im sorry what i said before, all i wanted was an apology.

to me and others this forum and its members are like best friends to alot of us here, its like msn or yahoo messenger to me and sometimes things can get out of hand because of human nature and you cant change that no matter what you do,

btw cat, he did admit it.

If he admitted it, everyone should just move on and forget it now

Forgive and Forget.

But you dont seem to show any remorce at all. You think cos you have high grammer skill you may be able to slip your way outa things.
Your a fake, and in the real world and on the internet, no one likes a fake. I forgive you, but u get none of my respect.

Here's a little tip, no one likes a liar or a B.S.er.

But people should forgive. What's done is done. Unfortunatly, I think he gets a kick out of seeing what he can get away with.

God, this thread sucks. So now instead of dealing with the problem where and when it happens, we all run crying to the Trolling and flaming thread? I thought with all the new posts in here, maybe something productive was being said or done except ganging up on people we *think* are lying, and whining about it. Guess I was wrong.

Good times.

I aggree with Cation.
This thread needs all the referances to the afformentioned tank removed and put it back on topic!

 

[wetwetwet]

I would quite happily have left the thread in question open but the 'dicussion' about it had allready moved in here and so saw no point in having it left open.

maybe they should be merged into the tank pic thread?

Cation,
His original post in here is what caused this. And it isn't a "We think he is lying". I called Fintastic and was told that tank was in there showroom. In fact the women on the phone described the tank to me.

I'm not going to bother calling them to have them post, he already admitted it wasn't his tank when I put forth that I would very definitely be calling them to have them post. The problem here is that not only did he decieve and lie to people, but he detracted from other peoples accomplishments. The tank was added to TOTM and other tanks that should have recieved recognition did not.

Everyone here puts a lot into their tanks and the accomplishment of a good tank is something to be proud of and show off. When someone detracts from your accomplishment how would you feel? Look at it from that perspective. Also I do not like to be lied to or decieved. I called them because everyone was claiming it wasn't his tank and I felt that I might obtain a good answer and the situation would be handled. Unfortunately this was not the case. Basically this allowed the situation to be handled and overall by most members it was handled in a civil and peaceful way.

The most important thing to remember out of this is not what happened, but the end result was the resolution of the problem with the truth coming forth. And actually this would be a good place to handle this on this thread for the simple reason that it kept it out of all the important areas of the forum and did not detract from the help people were needing nor pulling away from the pictures forum.

Sorry, wetwetwet - That wasn't a comment on the thread being closed, I never even _read_ the original topic. I just came in here after a weekend off thinking some resolution about spam/trolling might have been reached, and instead find the distasteful showing present in here. We even have a mod who thinks this is the way this thread should be, and apparently enjoys ganging up on relatively neqw members and having the board agree with her.

Inchworm:

Wrongdoings were spoken of and backed up with credible facts. We depend on the honesty and good will of each other to make this forum a success. It's good to express that.

I'm happy to know that other members feel as I do.

The whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

That is the truth though, we do depend on the honesty and good will of the members. The fact that he posted a tank that was not his, then came here flaming about the situation is what started the issue today.

You do realize, if you read the whole post, that if he had just left the situation alone nothing more would have come of it. But facts were obtained that showed the tank was not his.

There was nothing wrong with that statement. If the situation resolves such as this, I personally as a member would want to know so that I know who to trust and who not to trust on the forums.

Good for you. Do you feel better about yourself? I don't suppose it's possible that the tank at the store you called was inspiration? Why does TOTM even matter, none of the OTM contests evn seem to get judged anymore.

Doesn't look like he admitted it to me. Looks like he's saying he designed and helped his uncle with the tank. If he didn't, he didn't, but from the outside, one has to ask why you care.

Despite that, despite who was right or wrong in the original thread (I just don't care), it doesn't sound like he was hurting anyone by doing it, but some of you seemed awfully quick to jump on the lemming-like crucifixion bandwagon. Is it worth it? It must be to you all.
