Maybe we have different definitions of troll, because I don't consider TQN a troll. He isn't a Fedor fan, thats clear. He's a Lindland fan and Fedor goes against that. So instead of calling Fedor a bum, fraud, or other shit you hear other places...he creates a thread about paypal bets, and tells Fedor fans to put their money where their mouths are. Or a thread with a poll about who will win, and cracks a few jokes about why Fedor will lose. Not fighter bashing, not trolling. But definitely stimulating discussion. That thread is one of the most popular in Cageside right now.
It's not a personal thing. It has nothing to do with TQN. It's just always felt to me that there were a number of double standards in regards to rules here.

The big meanie word filter is another one. Nobody said f@ggot openly here until it was made into a joke. Now everybody says it because the word was stripped of the negative connotation. But it's the same intention. Even mods use it.

Well, and we have about 30 members changing their profile pics and account names to support a habitual rule breaker
Coincidentally they're the same people who complain about rule enforcement.

Someone previously mentioned the "First 100" and rule enforcement being why they aren't around anymore. That's the biggest load of BS I've ever heard on this forum. When I started posting here (outside of the admins) seeing a First 100 poster was like seeing sasquatch riding a unicorn. They signed up, looked around and left. Then about a year later when other posters had put in time and effort to making this place awesome. They waltzed back in as if their membership # made them important. Most of them made demands about rule enforcement (because apparently being First 100 is important) and when they didn't get their way they took their ball and went back to wherever they came from. We're now on the 3rd round of "And that's why this place sucks and I'm going back to the Reddit/Sherdog/UG!!!"

I (more than most) want to see this place continue to grow and provide a friendly, positive environment for its contributors. But these people who are trying to make demands and hold the forum hostage by threatening to leave and go elsewhere if they don't get their way are going to be leaving anyways. People lining up to defend that behavior is mind boggling.

I agree here. Cheem is always fair and most everything is in jest, nothing but laugh out loud posts.....

I know, he crossed the line on a lot more than a few occasions. He got what was coming to him and I totally respect it but I would like to see him back as long as he understands it's his last chance.
My understanding was that he was offered several last chances.

Having said that, I'd feel his "friends" were being a little more genuine if they weren't intentionally trolling the forum by cluttering it with identical avatars and similar screen names.

It was a light hearted attempt at poking fun at the situation, I was under the impression he was coming back after a given time period.

You don't go to a bar, shit in the middle of the floor and have them not kick you out. Just think of this as the "Please do not shit on the floor sign".

Agreed.


But I also don't hang out in vegan peace bars that serve social justice in a cup made from flowers
