Numerous requests from AT members for a petition to ban Bar81 and all associated IP addresses from Anandtech Forums prompted this.

Examples as requested: No comments necessary. You will see for yourself.

1st example

2nd

3rd

4th Long thread. Be patient. Appopin tried to help him and got nothing but a headache.

5th Lots of people in here complained about him.

Also, check out Bar81's new sig. He updated it today. The insults do not stop.

Many more to follow.

May 11, 2005: Today the Anandtech forums reach a new low. Several nerds get together to vote another nerd off the island. Will the moderator staff follow the petition, or will it be discarded with every other unsupported claim of a member being a meanie head? Only time will tell...

I severely doubt AT moderators will bow to the will of its members. But this lowly petition decision wasn't made in gest or passing. Been a long time coming. I'm willing to bear the brunt of ridicule. Oh and with 35,800+ posts, I wouldn't be throwing that nerd word around too often. :)

Geek and proud. :)

You might want to include some links to examples of piss poor behaviour for those of us who went (and I quote, with one slight modification) "Who the f*ck is this Bar81 guy?" when we read the thread. :beer:

lame. So he has ATI bias and you guys have NVDA bias. I've seen just as much if not more trolling from your NVDA crew.

Keys and the rest of his NVDA crew over at video forum doesn't like the fact that Bar81 has strong ATI bias. Just normal bickering among the two rival gangs. Really really silly and non-issue IMO.

it's a little MORE than that.

i'd say "rudeness" is the overall problem. ;)

hehe, I would never ignore you appopin. This has more to do with rudeness as you said that it has to do about hardware. I'm not THAT pissy. Enough people wanted this petition, so it came to pass.

I will remove the petition if I get enough requests to remove it. But only from people who know him. ;)

As n0cmonkey said, the best way to get a fellow geek booted off this island is to link to threads where he engaged in behavior worthy of getting banned (or at the minimum, a vacation). Barring that, forget it.

i get it

:D

agreed . . . . IF the OP is going to the trouble to ask for a ban, he should link to the threads and highlight the offending posts.

my own opinion is to 'forget it' as there are WAY too many others in Video that engage in similar behaviour. The mod there is the equivalent of Mother Theresa

dead [or asleep] :wine:
;)


:laugh:

j/king

:D

:roll:

FInal Edit: OP, i think you finally did the right thing.
:thumbsup:

believe-it-or-not, the mods already know
(they really are patient and most of them post under regular names so they deal with the same people "we" do) ;)

Agreed. They are coming in. I have one there right now. Very long thread. You must read it through to the end.

What's the big deal?
So, he doesn't like nVidia? Who gives a $hit?
If he constantly posted threads bashing nVidia for no reason other than bashing nVidia I could see how it could get annoying, but that's one friggin thread, and it seems like it started because of a legitimate issue, so again, what's the problem?

Well, It kinda doesn't matter if its 10 threads, 1 thread, or even 1 post now does it.
There are quite a few people who do give a sh!t otherwise this thread/petition would have never been made.

You also need to get the Nvidia/ATI thing out of your head. This is about disrespect, rudeness, and an extreme need to start wars.

If you didn't find anything wrong with anything you have seen, then simply don't sign the petition. It's a free country.

It is the typical fanboy war that goes on about once a month. The OP has also had his moments. It does boil down to this in that thread.

There is nothing wrong with me. I just don't like you. (keysplayr2003)

But I will say that if Bar81 goes, all of the fanboys should get thrown off the island. It would make reading a little easier. ;)

The mature members usually ignore the fanboys and answer where it is needed (like apoppin, pete, dapunisher, etc.).

I vote for a lock on this thread.

Grow a thicker skin will you, if you throw him out, like half the population should go along with him, quite possibly including me.

It's not like he started insulting people's mothers.

It's not a matter of skin thickness. Like I said, don't like it?, don't sign. Maybe half the population should go, but that's not my focus at this time. And I don't know why you think insulting someones mother is worse than them insulting you. To each his own I suppose.

btw, for the peanut gallery that needs to deride me rather than actually address the topic at hand, notice how ATI is NOT mentined in this thread, that's because I'm addressing only nvidia and it's crapfilled record which anyone with half an ounce of logical thought cannot deny. The bottom line is that for WS LCD users SLI DOESN'T WORK and sadly, that's *exactly* the market who wants SLI. And it's a further joke that nvidia is "aware of the issue" and yet needs at least one more month, on top of the three months that have already passed, to fix the issue, *if they ever* fix the issue (I wouldn't assume they will as they *still* haven't fixed their IDE or nForce4 SATA drivers.) Frankly, It's YOUR fault nvidia is such crap as you continue to accept such behavior from the company and actually go even further by defending the crap they put on the market. Did anyone also happen to notice the Ge CPU usage numbers on the tech-report article for nvidia, unacceptable and yet you guys act like it's just fantastic (AGAIN, nvidia is "aware of the issue" - notice a pattern here - and yet AGAIN hasn't fixed squat.) WTF is wrong with you people???



quote:
Well if you can't figure out what your issues are, I don't have the time. Anyway, nobody cares what you think unless it has to do with the topic.



quote:
Either way, my point remains. I just can't understand why people continue to praise nvidia for SLI and nForce when they both have huge issues associated with them. It's ridiculous to see so many people not only pretend that the issues don't exist but resort to cheap personal attacks instead of taking nvidia to task for their subpar products.



quote:
Thanks for that. You really added to this thread. WTF is wrong with you people, this is not a defend ATI thread, it's a call out the nvidia crap thread ATI has it's own share of iissues. You guys really need an education particularly in logic.



quote:
One has to wonder why you are so adamant about everyone forgetting about nvidia. Is it because you're an nvidia apologist or do you just like subpar products at high prices? Widescreen IS NOT new, it's been around for a LONG time.



quote:
So apparently calling a company out for subpar products is now trolling??? okaaaaaaaaaaaay

And retards, once again this isn't ATI versus nvidia which apparently none of you intellectual geniuses is able to understand. ATI has nothing to do with the issues at hand here and I never brought them up so I have no idea why YOU are all trolling the whole ATI v nvidia thing.



quote:
No, YOU don't get it and your attempts to show your "intelligence" are pathetic.



quote:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, the peanut gallery chimes in with another "witty" and useful remark.



quote:
You get an A in stupidity. Your attempts at logic make a drunk moose look intelligent. Actually, ATI is what it is today because of others doing what I'm doing here which is calling a company out for subpar products, not to simply criticize them, but, rather, to make them change the way they do business and deliver products that work as advertised. You really need a logic class as well as several years in reading comprehension.

And just out of curiousity, is there a particular reason all of you nvidia apologists don't want nvidia to deliver products that work as advertised? If anything, it should be the nvidia faithful who should be in tow in this thread.



quote:
First off, it's couldn't care less, my grammatical and logical genius. Second, that's EXACTLY the problem. Everyone, and not just me, should be *demanding* better. You want to wait for solutions like a good little puppy dog, that's great and all except errrr, companies don't always fix problems "one way or another" It's your ilk that allows nvidia to have crap IDE drivers for nForce since the beginning and get away with it. IF everyone is like you then you're pretty much asking the companies to bend you over and sadly, you're too ignorant to see it.

At any rate, I don't see where he has gone further than many other members when "discussing" controversial issues (though granted I didn't read through that monster of a thread - if I'm missing something big, point it out).
