Well Rogean has served me with a gag-order. I truly enjoyed dispensing bits of EQ lore and wisdom, and the many /tells i received thanking me for improving the quality of /ooc, plus the fact that i know I put a smile on many faces is reward enough for me.
Most of the things I had to say are obviously not anything anyone doesn't already know, but sometimes it's nice to have your memory refreshed or actually learn something interesting of the little known lore of a lesser traveled zone. Quite a few people enjoyed what I had to say, and my intent never was to grief anyone, disrupt /ooc or to degrade the gameplay of this server in any way.
The haters are simply immature assholes who think the world revolves around them, and unless you look talk and act like them, you are made fun of.
Even though I know in my heart of hearts that Professor did nothing to deserve being silenced, and indeed did the opposite by bringing back some memories for some, educated others, and provoked some interesting discussions in /ooc about race/class combos for example, I accept the ruling of the Owners of the server because i have no choice.
Thank you for allowing the Professor to liven up chat for a couple days. it was fun while it lasted.
Thank you. Class is Dismissed.

He wasn't spamming.
I appreciated it. People are such fucking whiny twats on this server it's unreal to think of how they deal with even minor inconveniences out in the real world, if at all.
Penoy needs a punch in the face. Not this guy.

Annoying? not really. Obstructive of regular chat functions to the point that I have to put you on /ignore temporarily? Yes.

I didn't complain, but still found "professor" to be annoying. A spammer is a spammer. Good riddance.

I like to watch my dog play with his own crap...that doesn't mean it's appropriate.
What Professor was doing was clearly inappropriate for /ooc...even though I enjoyed reading what he had to say. Blocks of text with random information, mostly plagiarized from other sources, filling up the /ooc windows of 450 people on the server at once is clearly not the stated appropriate use of /ooc.
Its kinda funny how some people in this thread don't (can't ???) understand this.

its funny how people rather read spam about dumb shit like "POT OR BEER: DISCUSS!!" or other immature stuff than interesting stuff
a 3 lined message isnt the way to go about it, granted, but atleast his messages had substance rather than "kunark is the greatest eq expansion"

What I dont understand is whats so hard about /ignore. It takes seconds, versus the minutes you guys spend pissing and moaning about something you have control over.
That said, yeah, the guy was basically spamming, and it was more often than just every 10 or 15 minutes, but getting the guy banned is weak.

I don't understand how this guy gets banned, but guys like Raid, Bomb and what have you, can sit and spam bullshit for days on end with nothing happening to them.

I am pretty sure he did not get banned. Just told to STFU by Aeolwind.

instead of "spamming" (i just ignored after 3rd ooc.. i was lazy).. make a Lore post here on the forums instead.. then interested ppl like yourself and those who gave you a tell can talk here.. and it wont bother ppl ingame.

Why not just make posts in off topic? I blocked you because I don't always want to hear it. write up some lore, and post it in the off topic forum. Wouldn't that be more appropriate?

This is some of the small amount of ooc I actually noticed, since when I saw the walls of text I thought there might be some new Danth erotica to read, but I was sadly disappointed that it was just a new spammer copy/pasting shit from the EQ manual. Please don't let this dude spam anymore so it is easier for me to notice updates to the Danth erotica series, ty.

I personally would like to see more creative writing in ooc, I don't really read Professor's posts but if somebody put that amount of effort into something relevant and funny then ooc would be awesome.
I know /ooc isn't for blocks of text and I'm not suggesting it turn into that, it's just nice every once in a while to get a good laugh
CPTMULLER
03-21-2010, 07:17 AM
You're telling me that there is also free erotica on this server?
:p
I'm fine reading lore bits about Veeshan's Peak, but the walls of text regarding the basics of paladin as class are kind of silly.

Yeah, now we can read about how much weed they smoke, unfettered by such mundane chat! *rolls eyes*
I too, was a professor fan.
Professor if your reading this, could you tell me again about the elven city of Kelethin and about the beautiful music they play and fine armor they craft there?
FatMagic

Professor if you're reading this - at least start making "Lore" posts on the forums or something. That I would be very interested to read. I enjoyed your brief informational posts about various locations in the game.

Sadly I missed out on most of the lore. I just /ignore'd him the first time I saw all the text flying around my screen. That being said, I did not know it was lore and assumed it was childish profanity without reading it.
I agree with a previous poster that you should make lore posts on the forums.
Pretty please???

It seems most the people that didnt like the lore are the idiots waiting for new danth erotica.
Hey, he's back and welcome too.
It was difficult in between all the personal flaming to read but still nice see something about the lore of EQ.

post lore on the forums where it belongs, not cluttering my screen with the ever-flowing river of bullshit that is ooc!

I much don't care about someone being a walking Allakazham Website.
if I /ooc Who Drops SSoY and he replies within .1sec He's useful.
Otherwise its useless useful information <--
Someone should of copied all that Danth spammer did and post it on a post here in off topic :)
We as a server can work on what happens to the Erudite with Red slippers~

I don't know what was spamming more, professor, or the 10 /ooc's that followed each of his messages telling him to shut up.
Better than pot talk, anyway.

Yah I think he was "falsing" the first part... not the 2nd.
Professor, are you going to make some incremental Lore posts? Do it in the Library! :)

Oh the way I took his response was to respond to the part where you said "the 10 /ooc's that followed each of his messages telling him to shut up". I don't think he meant to attack you, but to show how people like him. Or something like that.
Ok i'll shutup now.

Yeah, but my post wasn't really flaming him. I was merely pointing out that those that were hating on him were nearly as guilty of spamming as he was.
No doubt some people liked him. Posting a handful of cherry picked screen shots hardly proves anything about the general consensus though.
I didn't care for it personally, but it was easy enough to /ignore. My point is only that even after ignoring Professor, I still had ooc's firing from dozens of other parties complaining about him. Far more annoying, IMO.

I was not a fan, but I didn't complain, either. I keep my text large so my old eyes can read it, so anything longer than a full sentence will make text fly by without me being able to read it. His posts didn't bother me, they just made my ooc/auction window unreadable at times. /ignore works just fine, no need to silence him.
Now, these guys like Bomb et al, that continually spam extremely profane and disgusting crap on ooc, and I suspect switch to different characters to get around many who have ignored them, are a different story. They need to be shot. In the face. With a Howitzer.

as i said lore belongs in posts on the forums, not clogging up my ooc window. If youre that dedicated to lore, do it in order, and post in one of the forums. I honestly welcomed the bomb, because what he was doing was just more spam in a different manner.
