This forum shouldn't be closed. Don't let the people who ruined it win.

No shit. I just mean they can't just set up accounts instantly and start flooding the forum whenever they feel like.

No, you should just PM the mod and he'll confirm you. At least then the trolls can't just seep in whenever they feel like.

It's not shitty moderation. It's taking the job too seriously. Being bashed for being inflexible and humorless sounds pretty silly to me when all you're doing is banning morons. You should just ignore those who feel that way. I don't see why this is an issue. What should have been done (and...

If I were the mod, it would have been done a long time ago. It really is that easy. No attachment. No emotion. If you're doing your job right as a mod, you should never form attachments to assholes. And this isn't the first time Arasmas has been banned. And quitting because of pressure? What...

Actually, it's not. It's simple: when someone is constantly patently inflammatory or trolls needlessly, you ban him. Actually, you can. There's no democratic element to this.

Yeah, that was his one good contribution.

No.

Not surprising. I do recall now Arasmas pointing out he's been banned before. Thanks for extending my point. I guess that makes them that much more pathetic. Regardless, I meant that this banning is more or less going to be permanent now that this specific forum is going to be closed. If I'm...

Agreed. Don't shut this forum down. Confirmation from a mod should be required before newly registered users can post. That'll help limit the influx of trolls (and the return of undesirables).

Forum hallmarks: 1. When philno was banned. 2. When philno returned like a little bitch despite saying he was leaving because he has nothing better to than annoy people on an online forum. 3. When Arasmas and Widows Sulk were banned, thus rendering their existences pointless.

Unbelievable. Instead of blaming the people who deserve it, you blame those who don't. You expect people not to react to the sort of shit that assholes like Arasmas and Widows Sulk continuously posted? There's one reason they stuck around here: to stir shit. Ninety-nine percent of their posts...

Who took this seriously?

Sorry, I meant to say they're upbeat relative to the other songs.

Actually, I think Watershed is a lot eerier than most of their previous albums, though I think Deliverance holds the title for Opeth's eeriest album. I think Ghost Reveries sounds a hell of a lot more "upbeat" than Watershed. The only truly upbeat songs on Watershed are "Coil" and "Burden," but...
