Ill just let it play out...

I think anyone who would like them removed would best just wait. While they are posting misleading information, they haven't truly violated any rules to warrant a ban.

However, there is strong evidence that Intelia and Turtle are synonymous. Perhaps a mod could look into this.

Where's the:

"I choose to ignore the pigs when I want, but when I feel the need for a little entertainment, I'll read one the pig's posts, laugh a little, and become stupefied by the ire that a few comments can create in a forum, allowing a lynch mob mentality to prevail, while lynch mob should realize that the irritant pigs, left unchecked, hiding behind an internet avatar, will choose to play devil's advocate at all costs, and continue to feed off the ire created by their original comment, only to find that others have gathered for the lynching feast, causing the lynch mob to propagate in vast numbers, then an uncanny a divisitory effect will occur, similar to the the reproductive methods employed by the amoeba, in turn causing a division of camps, now creating two lynch mobs touting the merits of their chosen inanimate object, some actually siding the pig, only to find themselves being fueled and fed by the shots across the bow from the other camp, creating a perpetual cycle of saber rattling and potshots being fired, forgetting entirely why they chose to comment in the first place, meanwhile the pig just crawls back behind the avatar, silently waiting for the next target, completely content that his mission has been accomplished, while not having to wait too long, nor look very far, as there are so many willing recipients of the "I love to argue with a pig award" that the cycle become self-perpetuating."

option??????

Gotta go, the microwave buzzer just went off and the popcorn is done. Cheddar cheese flavored, my favorite! I like cheese, you know. A chilled cold one, a lawnchair, and I'm set. WOW, I just read the warning label on the back of popcorn. It said:

"There's a saying,' Every man is put on earth condemned to die, time and method of execution unknown .' Perhaps this is how it should be. Case in point; the relentlessly argumentative pigs, lately criticized, little men with such a yen to live. Beaten by the lynch mobs, and by their own boredom-and by the schemes of things, in this, AT Video Forum. - Love, Rod Serling"

Edit: pigs = People I Get Sickoflisteningto
 
LOL did you see what Turtle 1 just posted.

So whats that all about? What are you about? If the mods let this go . There may will be a lawsuite

LMFAO!!!!

BUt in all seriousness, before that he convinced some guy that his system will not run a future OS in any way shape or form, and that he should just get rid of it. I can deal with all his troll comments, but when other forum members who really do seek help come in here and listen to him; THAT is when it has to stop.

Nor did i say it was. However, he continues to mislead members and continues to troll around.

Not only that there is strong evidence (Mods obviously know more than any of us on this) that him and Intelia are the same person.

But fraud could be. It is believed by quite a few including myself that Turtle1 is in fact the banned Intelia. Any way this could be checked out? Because if Intelia was banned, and returned as Turtle1, that should be an auto ban even if Turtle1 was a saint.

 
This is a discussion forum. They're contributions seem pretty par for video these days. You guys spend half these theads arguing about the validity of "facts" of unreleased products, which seems to be pure speculation unless you have a signed NDA anyway.

The posts speak for themselves, they certainly don't need this constant wannabe post mods BS stinking up the majority of video threads these days anyway.

If you keep posts on topic and actually discuss video products instead of discussing the "posts" of video products then FUD speading fanboy yaking takes care of itself. Instead, you attract more attention to the lessor quality posts and end up dropping down to their level complete with personal insults. I don't see anymore "bannable "posts from them as yourself, feed the trolls and this you get.
 
rbV5. Read what i have posted.

They can post all the FUD they want to. However, when other members come seeking advice and then listen to that; that is when we have a problem. As i posted above, on member is already angry enough because he think that he cannot run Windows without a WGF2.0 video card, 2gig of RAM, and NCQ SATA. Now he is simply going to spend money on a very poor recommendation.

YOu may not care about what goes on in these forums, but i hate it when people (like Turtle) completely mislead other members.

-Kevin
 
I read your little :wine:

"Some member" is angry about the guy from microsofts paper on hardware requirements for Longhorn? I read the paper and discussion long before this particular thread....Big deal. Where is there a quarantee of "factual" information for any posts on an internet discussion forum anyway? Honestly, your dogged quest to dispel incorrect facts in posts seems very childish, and peppered with insults which could be considered a "bannable" offense all on their own.

Your posts could probably be considered misleading as well, what makes you the "decider of right" anyway? I see lots of poor information and FUD spread, but it seems you take particular interest on anyone posting what you consider FUD which shows ATI in a favorable light, and yet seem to have no issue when some Nvidia fanboy spews his nonsense.

 
pwned.

Turtle should not be banned though; everyone is picking on the guy unneccessarily IMO. He is somewhat correct in his comments re: Windows Vista. Besides, as rbV5 says, it's not even out yet, so who's to say what is right? Turtle is somewhat right though; to run Vista with all the effects turned on, you need a pretty serious graphics card, probably a 9700 or better.

I respect your comments here, but I think you better go back and read what Turtle1 actually does say.

Why don't you outline the "bannable" parts or do you just agree with Kevin's list outright? He claims that Turtle1 is a banned user with no actual proof, yet proclaiming it "believed" as if its some kind of consensus. While I think his postings are somewhat reminescent of Intelia, they really don't seem to be the same poster to me. His list of Morph's quotes is laughable as being banned material IMO.

I agree. I have read many of Turtle's posts and have not been offended by any of them, aside from the ones where he didn't quote articles properly, and did not offer any kind of his own input.

As for Morph, I dunno.

Well, I'm not defending either of these guys per say. I just don't see a single thing in Kevin's list that is bannable, and reading some of the threads without my usual "skip edit" personal moderation is simply painfu... and not just Morph's and/or Turtle1's posts.

Frankly, I think FUD is easily balanced with quality postings...simple as that.

Instead of attracting quality posts by using quality posts, a handful of posters instead attempt to "shame" a poster with insults and a little counter-FUD, and the result is simply an invite for everyone to jump-in with the same nonsense...result, thread is ruined and the parties involved look foolish in the end, and its hard to wade through the crap to get to the interesting stuff if there is any.

If his IP shows he his INtelia...auto ban....

I am offended by his claims he made in 3 threads where when we pressed him on it he failed to deliver any proof.. yet he would continue to make the claims and tell us he just proved it...Instead he usually provided links that 50% of the time did not even discuss the topic we were trying to get proof, or it outright refuted what he said....complete moron

Is this bannable?? probably not. He seems to be well mannered for the most part, which is why it took so long to get rid of intelia by the mods in the cpu forum...However even then the mods eventually got tired of the FUD and lack of any proof when making his/her wild claims that only started flame wars....Ultimately this will likley be Turtelias fate. It will just take about 6-8 weeks to do it...

I can care less about Nvidia or ATI...

Sidenote: I have no problem with Morph....I haven't seen him make wild claims, and the only battling I saw him really doing was regarding R520 rumors which we can all agree are speculations that no one can truly prove yet...He is an ATI fanboy and that is fine....They have to exist to counter the nvidia fanboys for "balance in the force"!!!!
 
I am not going to defend myself as I have done nothing wrong. Morph is completely innocent.

Here is a post by Gamingphreek


This is the most ridiculous thread ever. I feel like someone at a Howard Dean rally. (Turtle) And if it has SM4... Were going to RUB IT IN THERE FACES!!!!

Now if that isn't bannable I don't know what is. Its a completly lie. He completely made it up. He came into a thread with the sole intent of flaming. Than made a post declaring me the author. Pretty low. It would seem that they got rid of that post without an edit Very very questionable. But a have it all transcribed in Word so I can prove it. In this thread he continues to lie . Make him prove I convinced somebody their system was't up to snuff for Vista. If I did what he say's than I should be banned . If I didn't than I think maybe he should be banned.
 
I am with rbV5. Kevin, you need to calm down again. If we were to ban those guys, where would it stop? That would leave about 1 ATI fanboy, and we would have to go after all of the nVidia fanboys too. Considering it is about 5 to 50 on the odds...

You just want him banned because they don't see it your way (well, one of them is a little demented... 😉 ). Use the Ban user feature to add them to your ignore list if it bothers you so.

:thumbsdown: on this request.

You're both acting very childish IMO and you both need spelling lessons. :thumbsdown:
