Ban Quinton!

Banned
Read his countless threads in the operating system section about "Windows Vista sucks because..."

He goes as far as attacking people and judging character because they'll accept a new operating system.

Anything he's said thus far has been negatively productive towards the forum, especially the OS section,

Quinton either PUT UP OR SHUT UP, i'm sick of YOU WHINING ABOUT WINDOWS VISTA, because we DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO THINK! We heard it the first time now SHUT UP with your uninsightful information about how beta drivers are "finalized"... Jesus

Hi and good bye, Gagan Sidhu, aka Broly, and other names. Previously banned under several names for rudeness in hardware threads, posting to offer dealer quantities and conducting auction style offers and off forum bidding wars by PM.

you always need to post links ... and quotes

NO one is gonna read countless threads in the operating system section

usually one thread is allowed [if it is reasonable] and the duplicates are locked

What does it matter how long he has been here. If he has a legitimate reason for asking for this, post count shouldn't matter.

OP, for future reference you need to provide links. Also, post in FI only if you are unsure, and even then- most of the time it is better to simply PM the Anandtech Moderator. It reduces FI clutter, and you don't get a lot of the back and forth bickering.

Edit: I looked at a few of the threads. The best I can say is that he is merely a fanboy with no basis for opinion. I would simply ignore him unless he truly becomes a large problem in the OS Forums. He's a pest and a troll right now nothing more from what I have gathered.

Its best to just turn the other cheek and let him think what he wants- because no amount of rationale is going to change his mind.
 
i guess someone should let Quinton know about Video 😛

he'd feel right *at home*

especially discussing Vista

--sorry, Kev

😀

coincidentally ... i posted in OS tonight --for the first time in years ... trying to help a Vista user [believe it or not] ... from another FI *referral* ...
and i got *run right the heck outta there*
:Q

I've been here for about as long as the forums have existed, and I agree with the OP.
Happy now?
 
OMG!

there are 21 [twenty-one] separate threads on Vista in OS ... on just the FIRST page!
:Q

and Quinton only has ONE on that page ... i guess his Threads drop quickly to the bottom and sort themselves out 'automatically'

kinda ironic that the 22nd is a Mod thread ... *lost* at the top:
~~~ Forum Notice - Please Help to Minimize The Number Of Vista Threads ~~~

OS IS as bad as Video 😛
:shocked:

If that's referring to my remarks, I apologize. You had a good idea there. I didn't mean to run you off from the thread, just explaining why I was starting from the hardware up. Apology accepted? 😱

SHENS! 😛

Most of the threads in OS that I've read have been very constructive. Video usually turns into an e-pen0r kindergarten the time you get to page 2 of most threads :thumbsdown:

first i was kidding ...


secondly

no apology needed ... whatsoever ... i should never give advice outside my expertise

did the OP's Vista issue get resolved?


and MmmSkyscraper ... i was *specifically* referring to the 22 threads on Vista on the OS First page ...
that IS as bad as Video 😛
--especially with the *irony* of the Mod's "limit Vista threads" *hidden* in the Threads
[i told you i don't visit *often* ... see you next year in OS ... just before i buy Vista]

Yeah, I'll admit that. I LOL'd when I saw the mass postings yesterday. Welcome to VistaTech.com 😀

We'll be waiting for you, Mr 2K... with genuine advantage bats! :Q
 
Btw, seeing as Quinton wrecked what was a useful thread with useless FUD, I'm all for pitching in towards a nice cup of STFU.

i have plenty of *experience* in Video with *beatings*😛

[usually at the bottom of a gang-bang]
 
I did find a thread where a Mod did tell Quinton to stick to the topic or such. At least one of the mods is aware. The spelling is good, so it is not a revisit from our least favorite, most banned hack. But a 50-100 post thread got to 400+ because of total ignorance by Quinton. I don't remember AT Mods banning someone for being an idiot or even a useless idiot, but the flamebaits are almost there...

Definitely. If these forums were about spreading the most incorrect data, he would be praised for his wisdom.

Unfortunately, if people could be banned for just being annoying, they'd lose 1/3 of the membership on that merit alone. 😛

 
He's not only annoying, he jacks threads with "vista sucks" even if it's not pertaining to that question and rather it's about using vista.

Where's that one mod quote...
 
I don't like the way Quinton jumps in on just about every Vista thread with the same FUD, but I can't say it's ban-worthy.
