I'm gonna put this at the top, because if I don't, g u t s will skip the whole post and just instant-ban me. I don't have a problem with g u t s. These are not "accusations," and I'm not trying to disrespect him either. All I want to do is point out how wrong I think this is. If I'm wrong, I'll let it go, but I want my voice to be heard. And if I'm banned for just making my voice heard, then this is a dictatorship of a website and I want nothing to do with it.
So, recently, as many of you know, there's been a big beef between @
Ginge and @
The Wrathchild. After about a week, it escalated into a death match discussion. I love them both, they're good guys, but man was this shit hella hype. I was ready as fuck for this battle. For those who don't know, a death match is a winner-takes-all battle where the loser has to literally delete their account forever.
g u t s didn't like this, and said the following in the post: "stop being faggots. no deleting. period." I said that there is literally nothing he can do about it, and his response was closing the thread and saying "there will be no battle for deletion or i'll hand out bans how about that? i'm closing the thread."
See, I have a problem with this. I understand his reasoning, being that activity on LB is already low, and this would just further kill it, but, dude....the fuck? It's their accounts. And threatening a ban is retarded anyway, seeing as how it would act as an account deletion of sorts in it's own rite.
I'm not trying to challenge g u t s authority or anything, but that's also sort of exactly what I'm doing. It's a battle, it's got hella hype behind it, it's
their accounts, and banning is redundant anyway, as I said before. Not only that but neither of them have any titles to their name. There's nothing to lose for either of them, and, quite honestly, knowing either of them, they will very likely just make another account and come back after the dust has settled.
If I'm wrong (and saying "you're wrong" is not enough, please explain in depth why), I'll for sure back down, but as is, I do have a problem with this. If anything, g u t s, you're killing activity by closing that thread. You're preventing a super fuckin hype battle and closing a forum thread that's bringing in five to ten posts an hour.
Once again, I want to clarify, I do not mean to disrespect g u t s in any way, shape or form, but I felt like this needed to be said.
