Every WL forum regular knows who Thomas 633 is. He is the first and foremost reason why sane people are leaving the forums in droves. Every other forum post is some nonsensical, attention-seeking joke from Thomas, or an image that has nothing to do with the thread's topic, usually a crappy car.

And to top that off, when someone uses the forums in the way they were meant to be used, Thomas loses his sh*t and starts raging at that individual. https://www.warlight.net/Forum/83324-blacklist

Thomas 633 gives trolls a bad name, he gives minors and Australians a bad name. He harbors racists and homophobes in his clan. He is the poster boy for everything that is wrong with the forums.

Yet what are forum mods doing? Nothing! Fizzer even answers his simple-minded questions while ignoring most of the others. https://www.warlight.net/Forum/83352-coin-tournaments?Offset=0

Why are the mods still giving him a free pass? Certainly, WL has lost more value due to the degeneration of the forums than gained with his $15 clan purchase. Even Righ Knight was banned, and he bought lots of clans and memberships.

Saying that a minor should be handled with kid gloves because he does not understand what he is doing is an insult to all minors. There are lots of minors playing Warlight who know how to behave. Even Mystery Man learned to reduce his post count after being told to do so. As a troll I don't say things like this often, but do the right thing and give Thomas 633 a ban to save the forums.

Banning him simply wouldn't work, since he could just go and set a new account up 30 seconds later.

This boils down to needing proper moderation of the forums, so posts irrelevant to a thread are simply removed.

i agree. (with Lord)
im 13, and although i think some trolling should be allowed, constant trolling can't be tolerated. its bad for thomas (you need to grow up) its bad for warlight, its bad for us.

im 13

I'm an 84 year old gay lesbian transsexual questioning!

As I keep saying, Fizzer needs to regulate and moderate these forums.

But if you're going to kick Thomas then you have to remove Pooncrew and the other trolls and troll guilds.

But with Fizzer only seeing $$ these days, it'll take a long time. I'll be very surprised if I eat my words here.

No trolling should be tolerated. Trolling is causing a negative reaction in others. It can lead to suicide and other mental health problems especially in this day and age where the internet is everything. You do NOT know who is on the other side and do NOT know what reaction other people could have, so why cause negativity?

Having a laugh is good, it should be encouraged, as should all positive things but there is a line where your "laugh" is causing someone else pain.

Negativity and trolling are the dominant force... The Vocal minority. If you don't shove a sock down their throats, they only get louder. Then people think that the attitudes are normal.


tl;dr Unless we regulate, you'll have 100s more Thomas and Poonsquads on these forums because they'll think they can get away with it.

here here!

+1

+1 but PFTS is correct

Banning Thomas seems really extreme. Yes he gets off topic a lot and many of his posts make no sense, but in reality what he does is pretty harmless. Also, who he chooses to have in his clan is his business. If you think he's harboring someone bad than report said person.

now its time for thomas 633 to argue all the comments and get told off no matter how good the arguments are...

@darklordio's alt.
1. Be brave enough to actually come onto the forum with your ACTUAL ACCOUNT.
2. I used capitialisation because I HAVE SAID THAT TO AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE. It gets mildly annoying when people keep asking the same question that Fizzer has probably answered about a million times.
3. I give trolls a good name because I tend not to not really insult people too badly compared to some other people..
4. That was a genuine question about coin tournaments. And I really want an even 0 coins :)
5. We don't have any moderators except Fizzer and everyone knows he gives about as many figs as are on a dead fig tree.
6. Since when have I lost value? Also before someone pulls out the colonel free pass to whack thomas, he was essentially the creator of the clan. Oh and we are not a wolves clone.
7. Since when have we suggested handling 15 year olds with kid gloves?
8. You have a bunch of people who have trolled more than me....

@DanWL
Thanks for the neutral vote!

@PFTS
It depends on how strict moderators are, locking threads and deleting is a bit much but moving threads is fine. Also can we have a troll thread where we can all bicker and troll to our hearts content?

@Tyrion Lannister
Maybe I am not 13... I am 15 BTW. And no to the growing up.

@Mr Cherry
1. Fizzer probably won't moderate the forums for a while...
2. You don't get that some people find trolling amusing. Because some of the stuff we say (or post via a picture) is genuinely funny. Do you want this forum to look like this?



@Bane
Pot calling the kettle black much?

*skipping over simple +1 responses*

@eklipse
Finally someone who agrees with me!
Although I will post less if you all wish (and you will need a lot of signatories for that)

yea, but im an expensive pot people actually put in their homes, not some Chinese knockoff like you. :D

Thomas, I would prefer you to post less in all forums apart from the off topic forum. Please limit your posts in other forums to those that genuinely contribute to the discussion.

The thing I appreciate about Thomas is that he often brings humor to threads where everyone else is just concerned with figuratively murdering whoever they're arguing with.

also top tip to LORD

make an actual survey

All these "spammers" are seeking for attention, and that's exactly what they are getting from you.
If there wasn't someone seconding them everytime they post they would have stopped long ago

2. You don't get that some people find trolling amusing. Because some of the stuff we say (or post via a picture) is genuinely funny. Do you want this forum to look like this?

Posting a picture isn't trolling. Posting a picture because you know it'll piss off people and cause a reaction is. Would you like it if we started posting things that make you upset so that every day you come on here and get depressed, leaving feeling 100x worse than when you came on?
Of course not. Once again, why do it to others?

It seems that you don't know the difference between fun and jokes and being an asshole to others.

If you think it's funny to make other people sad then you need to take a long hard look at yourself.. these people aren't your friends, they're associates. You don't walk into a job and shout "SIEG HEIL" because it's inappropriate and could cause a whole range of negative emotions (Let alone losing that job) BUT if you were to walk into a friends house and say that, then it'll probably be OK because you're friends, you know each other and what each other finds funny.

No, I'd rather the forums weren't a totalitarian state, but myself and others would also rather it was somewhere everyone can enjoy.

I should mention that I'm not for Thomas being kicked from WL. Compared to others, he can be rather funny. Spams to much and needs to learn when certain things are appropriate but other than that, it's rare that he's out of line.


This ain't 4chan/reddit/whatever. This is WL. Unless Fizzer is willing to make this a Mature only game, we need to keep it friendly. But as Thomas said

We don't have any moderators except Fizzer and everyone knows he gives about as many figs as are on a dead fig tree.

tl;dr People need to learn the difference between having a laugh and being an asshole.

All these "spammers" are seeking for attention, and that's exactly what they are getting from you.

Not true, they'd just keep posting and playing. Other people would then post. Spammers attract spammers, they enjoy each others company because of the similar sense of "Humour" they tend to have.

The only way they'll stop posting is if someone in charge actually acts upon it. Right now, Fizzer is telling the trolls that they can stay here and troll.

Edited 3/31/2015 23:46:38

1. as you said I tend to be kinder than a lot of others, and my trolling is designed to be annoying and humourous rather than actually hurtful.
2. Colonel is the one that does the SIEG HAIL not me.

The response to this should be equivalent as to how the community views appropriate. Seeing as how people are fairly divided and mixed in there responses, it seems this Thomas fellow, probably shouldn't be banned or kicked from Warlight.
