The forum hasn't changed much, David. Sometimes people just sign up to unnerve others, and it seems others like to reply in a way that gives these persons an excuse to keep on acting like that. It happens now and then. It's not a novelty. That's the reason we always tell members to not reply to threads just to call people names (stupid, moron etc...) or to be sarcastic. That's what Vicious did with the reply in the anime forum, and not only him. I understand this can be a natural reaction, but then you can't expect others to react in a positive way, can you? It's obvious this will only start arguments or flaming among members. Next time I hope Vicious and the others will be kind enough to not reply like they did. Moderators will take care of the situation. If there's anything wrong with a thread, posting sarcastic replies won't make things get better, don't you think? I'm not saying Vicious deserved the offensive posts and messages, but since he's not a newbie and he got involved other times in similar arguments, he had to expect something similar from a member like stevil. For this reason I can't consider him or the others who replied to that thread 100% innocent. He could have avoided all these troubles by not posting at all in that thread. Period.
BTW, stevil got banned. Not only for the message received by gamer. He posted a lot of other offensive stuff and a lot of spam ( that I had to delete this afternoon
), and that's another reason for his ban.
