Title: arrogantBiggles_two Rudeness
Post by: ronen on May 16, 2004, 09:59:40 AM
Dear Members,

I'd like to complain on Biggles_two way of talk & abuse, following is an example of his words:

"arrogantBiggles_two:get lost goober
You (myself): whats makes u so arrogant?
Biggles_two: listen freak, I ain't the one coming in all full
of themselves challenging, and being a dick....so make love to off
and get lost "
 
This is just one extreme example, but there were others as well which i havn't copied there words so I wont mention there names, but all of them were rated high!!!

Its looks like these high rated guys are arrogant and are happy to degraded

I hope we will make again this great place a nice environment as used to be

Sincerely Yours,

Ronen

The bad words filter on this forum changed some words in your post Ronen.

I must admit that i have seen much worse on FIBS so prepare for even more rudeness (not that i approve of that!!).  :angry:

Biggles is known for his rudeness, especially against new members.
I know he can also be a nice guy. It is too bad that he does things like this.

I hope it doesn't scare you away from Fibs. It is a nice place with lots of very nice people.  :)
If some individuals are irritating you, use a good client software (like 3DFibs or Javafibs) and permagag them. Then they will dissappear from you and you will never have to "hear"from them again. :furios:    :shutup:

But thanks for your post.
The more people complain, the better.

I would also recommend using the gag feature of your client - if it has one - and quickly.  What you saw before will be nothing to what you will see now you have dared to say something  :D

I try to make it a point not to play people with obnoxious names.  My own obnoxious match and subsequent drop was with a player named cock_____.

If someone puts the name "arrogant" in their nic, probably not a good idea to play them.

:wacko:

Dont worry Ronen. You can easily dismiss the high rated players who are insulting you as weak players and cheaters. A strong and fair player would never do that!
Happy playing!

You can easily dismiss this moron, MND. Last night I got a tell from him asking why my account hadn't been deleted since, according to RepBot, I had 60 dropped games.

I had never talked to this guy, never played him, and the first thing he wants to know is how long have I been beating my wife. I tried to explain to him that RepBot complaints don't necessarily mean the person is a dropper, but he persisted with his insults.

I felt compelled to underscore my point by complaining about him and shout-urging all present to do the same. That, of course, increased the insult level.

So, having picked a fight with one of the two nicest guys on FIBS, he now seems determined to go after the other, Biggles, the most popular FIBSter. Pretty shameful.

Amazing that people feel the need to find a public forum and then whine as loudly as possible. If you don't like what you hear from a player, gag him, make a note, don't play him/her again, and, for God's sake.... STOP WHINING

Agree. Options available:
- permagag via your interface
- complain via RepBot
- use "friends" query on RepBot if you've made enough vouches

It's more like, the more people register opinions, wether complaints or vouchers, the better. What's better, is that the reputation metric more accurately reflects the sum opinion of the fibs population, whatever that is. This of course assumes the majority of people vote according to their true opinion.

You are right maturin, we should not all be whining.  So please delete your post!


Lets start the voting!

I vote for more beer!   :beerdrinkers:

Nobody is talking about a repbot complaint.  The subject of this thread is some newbie whining. :wacko:  :wacko:  :wacko:

It's valid to suggest ignoring Biggles, whose reputation is as well deserved as his rating.  However, how can you ignore the jerk when he brings his sick hatred into tourneys and league matches which have rules requiring politeness?  Then you are stuck with playing him and putting up with his rude and crude abuse.

Certainly in the cases where Biggles brings his filth into friendly tourney competition, he should be banned -- not from FIBS but from the leagues and teams in which he plays and refuses to use basic manners.

I have never got problem with biggles and receive no complaints about him in the FibsLeaGammon.
I will certainly not ban him from my league in this case.
Title: arrogantBiggles_two Rudeness
Post by: lewscannon on June 10, 2004, 09:50:51 PM
I think that Biggles qualifies as an Italian and should be immediately banned.

Biggles tried to start some kind of flame with me yesterday on FIBS with a shout that Tomawaky had told me to "STFU" here.  I've reread this thread.  Did I miss something?

I admit I was skeptical to learn that Tomawaky might be rude, and not surprised to learn it wasn't true -- Unless someone can point it out.  Did I miss something?

What you've missed is your gag command. People try to start flames all the time, the solution is simple: don't reply.

I think to restore some sort of status quo we should ban one nationality each week for one week.  That way we can all be pissed off!   :evil:

It seems to be the same people, ie. don and Biggles, that get into conflicts on a regular basis. Can they not be banned?
