So now all is back to normal I think, Compa has his old account, the banner why Compa left is gone, all Honorary Members are gone (except Compa is now an Honorary Member instead of an admin) and all posts and PMs that were posted today are gone as well. Oh, and the locked forums are back. So what just happened? It just confuses me...

Oh and Happy birthday NojusK

Yesterday I decided to take a backup of the forum, and after I woke up, I restored it.

Yeah, okay. But why? And who made the changes you needed to restore? Sorry if I ask too much... You don´t need to answer that if you don´t want to.

Compa.

Yeah, he was going crazy today...

I guess I'm going to permanently retire from admin/mod duties after this incident, as well as the last which unfortunately was one that involved yourself and my own snarky behaviour towards you, which I still apologise for in all fairness.

Either way, I was bothered by the fact @R3n had changed the cPanel password and not PM'd me what the new one was. It also turned out he deleted my (empty) subdomain, which I wasn't long going to put something onto. Then, well, that happened.

A secret BBCode blaring earrape on the index page with scrolling text telling R3n to give me the password, the 'illin' in heaven' thread by CRMX which I instructed him to post "because lol", then me trying to ban my account (unsuccessfully). I did move the forums about a little bit, but only marginally and I don't even think any damage was done otherwise.

Either way, I sincerely apologise for yet another inconvenience caused by my destructive administrative abuse, given this is probably the third or fourth time something has happened now if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I'm not exactly stable - good thing most of you haven't seen me at my worst (R3n and CRMX have seen that end of the stick however, so if you really want to see what it's like, poke them).

So if I understand you, you are Compa? But the account is still there and it is an admin!?

Yeah, I am. I'm not too bothered about having my other account back for some reason - I'd rather @R3n deleted it and permanently purge this thread along with it once @XP Luna has managed to acknowledge this post.

I still have server access, though for completely different reasons than you likely expected - I run a small site/message board on this server with an isolated FTP/MySQL account.

I'd rather give the account back to you.

I'd rather you pulled your head out of your ass and listened to everyone that hates Jamie Dignam because they have much more of a justified opinion (and much more of a life) than he does.

all he has ever contributed is drama and distress in others, everyone that hates him contributes to actual projects and generally gets on with other people overall. ever noticed that?

I assume the ban function actually works, so you might not even see this post. At this point, I can not be convinced that those against Jamie are in the right from all the past actions, tweets, lies, and assholeish behavior towards me, Jamie, and others on the internet. Nothing will change my want for the internet to be a better place.

Also, don't even think about inviting fusoxide and others here, if you do, I will make heavy use of the ban function.

It's kind of obvious that was me channeling how others see me from those circles from an alt. Honestly just pissed off with people backstabbing me again somewhat recently.

They can deny it all they like, there is an elite cult surrounding those folk. There's a reason they all become part of egg culture, it hides their past while letting them blend in with Twitter/Discord's literally communist/socialist-obsessed and pedophile-defending platform, pretending to be fighting for 'trans rights' when actually all they're trying to do is mash their incel 'girldicks' over their GitHub repositories while ERPing with people ironically fetishising them while fetishising themselves, and convincing others that to be loved more you must be a cute uwu 'transbian' anime girl.

This is literally what the fuck happened to me in 2017 from being in those spaces and it has not changed, only got worse given those people cross over with the likes of the Emulation and ROM hacking communities - where everyone is suddenly becoming transgender for the same sort of reasons: meeting random autogynephiles and creeps who end up influencing autistic or otherwise vulnerable teenagers into trans shit that they otherwise would never have got into. Look at the forum that is a sister site to TCRF (Jul), who literally ban anyone further of far-left and is full of fucking incel-types. Oh well, I made quite the fool out of one of the admins by managing to make 193 posts on an alt, requesting a ban and they didn't even know who I was in the past yet made an insulting remark over some idiocy from five years prior...

Call me a fucking transphobe, I couldn't give a flying fuck - if you relate to r/egg_irl or its 'uwu aesthetic' type of thing to the point you end up fetishising yourself as a woman, you're probably a fucking fetishist. There's a difference between self-arousal and feeling sexy btw, one is laced in narcissism and the other is just wanting to wear revealing clothes or whatever.

Oh, and if you don't like the fact I'm criticising you, you can fuck right off and go back to your circlejerk. Don't come here whining because I'm not going to respond to you. Also, community members here, maybe we should do the same thing and start trying to get them banned from every community ever like they seem to be doing to me and certain other people? (last sentence is obvious sarcasm, please leave them alone - they can have their places but it won't be here, and I certainly can't be bothered to waste my time getting random circles to ban potential people or whatever.)

So now Compa (and) Plokzig are really gone... Kinda sad

@Plokzig: I hope you find some time to go out to the park and feed the ducks! The people out there aren't all that bad. Most chaps and gals don't even have a clue, what an Incel is, nor do they know someone who changed their gender. Except in Berlin maybe!

But you're correct, the internet definetly has a widespread problem with intolerance. However the niches still exist!

Compa/Plokzig aka Jamie Dignam is the literal definition of an creepy incel. There's a really good reason, plain and simple, why he has managed to land his ass banned from every single community he has ever joined: he is a narcissistic, selfish, disgusting manchild who refuses to take any level of self-responsibility instead palming it all onto everyone who has to suffer his shit... and to top it all off, admitted to being a pedophile on numerous occasions - such as the thread on MSFN where he asked to be banned effectively, and an old Twitter of his @SukasaTakara.

There's also his little stunts of rage (pun unintended, in case you misread that as a certain game with an exceptional soundtrack) where he'll try to make people feel bad and pity him, as well as making whoever wronged him feel bad for him too and eventually give in to his crap.

So many people have had enough of his constant bitching and whining, nuking the forum and taking advantage of the staff and people in the server, among other things. It's a disgrace to the adminship that he was essentially protected merely due to dating R3n.

Amazing moderation team here, really. Censor my post all you like because I criticised quite rightly what the hell Jamie Dignam does in a fashion that he won't like. It's only going to show up how the staff team seem to protect his ass at all costs despite him being an obvious abusive piece of shit who should just get off the Internet and stay away from any potential circle where any sane humans congregate. The only places that he should be allowed in are pedo rings and Reddit neckbeard circlejerks, both of which are the bottom of the barrel as far as anyone but those a part of them are concerned.

If I see one more of these false posts, this will unironically become the new captcha.

That's just going to dump gasoline on the fire for people that know Compa, and render anyone who doesnt know those people unable to sign up. I'm not in charge here and I'm not trying to be, but it is my suggestion that please do not ever make that the CAPTCHA.

In fact, if memory serves, the current CAPTCHA is already extremely subjective as it is.

Exactly.

How is Windows 10 having telemetry, forced updates, installing Candy Crush, and UWP subjective?

I even list it as "features".

R3n wrote: ↑21 Mar 2021, 19:27 How is Windows 10 having telemetry, forced updates, installing Candy Crush, and UWP subjective?

As if those are the only items in the lists.
Windows 10's updates, for example, could be seen as "user controlled" as there are user interfaced controls about them. Less than 7? Yes. But they are there.
I have seen people call Windows 10's interface "clean". So it is apparently subjective there, too. Some report to have not seen ads in windows 10, and in my somewhat limited experience with 10, I never saw them either.
If candy crush is installed by default, depends on your edition.
UWP and XBox DRM is, for once, one that is definitely only a 10 thing by any definition.
7 And 10 both have telemetry, even a stock GA-era windows 7 installation most certainly has telemetry. In those days, it would listen to you if it turned it off, but in recent updates, 7 largely ignores the CEIP setting and runs its telemetry process anyway. Very much like 10, except easier to kill.
"Control Panel has all the settings" - considering the variation of CPL applets throughout the years, there is exactly zero windows versions with a control panel that has "all" the settings. Not to mention all of the OTHER settings that are not and never were in the control panel. (for example, the thousands and thousands in the sticky ball of glue called the registry)
Forced updates, yes, is exclusive to windows 10, though 7 CAN force updates if you let it (automatic updates on). Though some slight subjectiveness appears when you consider that windows 10 updates can be "paused", which could be interperated as "not forced" as one does not need to do them that instant.

The current sign-up process is somewhat funny but it sets the bar quite high. I think it would improve if it allows one mistake though. Let's say, there are people around here that only know current Windows 10 from its interface, that disgusts them. And they have never used it actually, nor are they interested in Windows 10 problems, privacy related for example. By the way, Windows XP in its standard settings also phoned quite a lot home, but was it called telemetry? Well, at least this sign-up process should be a good protection against Spam!

If "phoning home" DOESN'T qualify as telemetry, than I have no idea what does qualify.

Telemetry is like a buzzword for us, rejecting the current Windows path. I think it was rather used for Formula One cars sending data over to their engineers instead of computers sending data to their manufacturer (from my perspective as a non-native english speaker of course).

Maybe the sign-up process really needs much more precise questions. What about flat design vs. transparent glass design? For the Windows 7 side, it could be "released in 2009". Maybe someone can measure the high footprint Windows 10 has. Of course Windows 10 has to be mocked wherever possible!

Candy Crush isn't even included in the ISO, intriguingly - it's downloaded after installation providing you live in a specific region where its publishers pay to have it do so due to a licensing agreement with Microsoft AFAIK. Some other apps do the same thing (Facebook is one of them if I remember right, at least where I live).

As for ads, they appear on Home Edition and technically speaking the in-OS notifications for the likes of 'use Edge or die' technically count as advertising similarly to what Google does with plugging their Chrome browser on their own homepage.

@Bird It's funny you bring that up. I never encountered the word 'telemetry' until Windows 10 released and then it seemed to be everywhere, so you saying it's a buzzword seems rather accurate. Previously it would have been known as 'data collection/spying', though this particular word seems now confined to smaller websites (thanks, GDPR, the thing that only benefited Facebook and Google!) and government groups only while Big Tech have managed to desensitise people to their own worsening shenanigans.

@i430VX @R3n The CAPTCHA is fine anyways. I don't see any particular issue with it, it's humorous and it relates to the website topic. Meanwhile many other forums are struggling because they have some shitty 'maths question' or reCAPTCHA form that a bot can fill out or loan out to a human to do in a 3rd world country quickly.
