True, the same happened to me when i joined here and Skulltag forums back on 2009, my english was still a shit, i think this thing happens for everyone that learns english in the "Hardcore" mode, which in case is talking with people in the internet with a browser tab in some translator site XD.

I'm not pleased. Where is people's professionalism?
Well, things of this kind happens when people stops taking the subject as a "internet" thing and takes it to personal case.

It's okay Captain J, we love you too much to get angry at you. :P

Oh of course. It's all about egos.

I was talking with my dad about this---in the tech sector, there's a lack of role models due to the way the industry works---the old guard's knowledge isn't directly relevant to the new guard's job, so it tends to get ignored.

Instead, people try to merely imitate successful people, down to their attitude---for example, everyone sees that Steve Jobs was successful, so they figure if they both get as smart (and as difficult to work with) as he was, they'll be as successful as he was. This leads people to prize egomania over getting results and perfecting themselves.

We're down here in the hobby area of the tech sector, but I see no reason why the same idea shouldn't apply here.

Unrelatedly: Why did cem26 get a tempban while the guy who tried to doxx Tormentor's password seems to have gotten no ban? I'd think the latter would deserve SOME sort of ban---cem26 was just being foolish, the doxxer was being actively malicious.

Do not attempt to "hack" in to the forums, webspaces, or anything on the ZDoom servers. We will take very swift action against any attempts of this, including real life consequences. Your ISP's abuse department will be contacted. Law enforcement will be contacted. If what you're doing would get you arrested in your home town, you're probably not allowed to do it here, either.


Yeah, I'd expect him to get permabanned. What gives? Did he even get a warning?


EDIT: WELP NOW I FEEL DUMB.

Well there we go. Problem solved!

...Although now I'm slightly confused as to why Weasel didn't do so to begin with. And I also hope that the staff here are taking measures to ensure users cracking other people's passwords is just a once-in-a-blue-moon misfortune.

I warned him, and he said he was making shit up. I told him the warning stood. Here's the relevant PM:
jmickle wrote:haha yeah sorry i was just getting fed up with torm's attitude. fair warning.

jsyk, censoring that password made the post much more hilarious, since it now looks like i may have actually posted his password :~)

I've told many other people this, and I'll tell you as well: at no point in the rules is it allowed to take matters into your own hands where other users are concerned. I don't care if Tormentor confessed to stealing the Declaration of Independence; you're still not allowed to throw insults and sarcasm at people. Everybody involved in the dogpiling got warns by now, as did Tormentor.

Dude, no, you're taking it too hard on yourself. It's understandable to see that things aren't going as well around here as they should be. I don't honestly know what to chalk it up to, though. It can't be Brutal Doom, it definitely isn't any one person. It's just a sudden cavalcade of assorted rage. (Hey, that'd make an awesome alt-rock band name...)

It's because Lord Gaben came to the dark side of the force, joining Darth Andrew Wilson on the "pay for everything" in the gaming scene

On a totally different topic, then it's been almost five hours and this backup with a total size of ~90 GB is only halfway done.
jesus christ does this drive have a lot of tiny files that my external hdd does not like writing at all
And finally, after 10 hours it is done!

I've had the idea of making some sort of weapon mod that should highlight two things:
-stuff that cannot be done in Doom Legacy
-things that break the usual weapon replacement conventions, such as shotguns in slot 3, or rocket launchers designed to be single shot high explosive weapons

I WILL CALL IT BROKEN LEGACY

I hope nash will finish his model clipping code, that will allow gzdoom to surpass shadow warrior build in veilcles, with nice smooth clipping and animation to.
