you suck
And you are a little twit who has no grasp of grammer, as I can see from your post in the PS3 forum. Honestly, Mark posts this thread, and 4 WEEKS later you choose to just randomly flame him? In my book, you need a life.
And just posting "you suck" will really piss off the other PPX players.
Heh, I think slovicks swallows.
Admins, we really need a responsible user or three that can lock threads and delete posts.
I told you that it would piss people off!
And Mike, I would rather have the forums go mostly unmoderated and have the admins work on the more pressing issues related to PPX, such as the amazing amount of error messages that plague the PPX. If they work on that stuff, that would take the wind out of... certain poster's... sails, and the crappy threads that have been posted will stop being posted. However, we do need people to remove obvious crap like this.
It'd take all of ten minutes to choose a user or three and give them moderator rights.
When I say user moderators, I mean someone like you and me, someone that plays the game and is frustrated about how downhill the forums are going.
the name slovicks is = to sucks
there is similarity...
Mike, I know that you think that I am okay, but ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? You said, "when I say user moderators, I mean someone like you and me." I can see you as a moderator, but me? That would be a bad situation for all involved.

Ah, point taken, Louis.
I'm not sure which point you're reffering to, but I think milk would make a fine moderator. You sell yourself short, milk. You are wise beyond your years.

No, I probably couldn't be the next Rommel or Patton, but neither could you. They generally (hah! a pun!) don't let the psychopaths run the asylum... er, army.
And Bill, I couldn't be a monibore for two reasons:
A.) I am already biased against some players, so they could say that I didn't like them if I had to censor them. And they'd probably be right.
B.) It wouldn't pay, and I'm usually only on the PPX at school. I'm lucky to get 15 minutes to check my stocks at home, because my parents hate the PPX. They wouldn't like me getting any time-consuming PPX responsibilities. Now if it paid, that would be a different story.

i could be a future general i figure out new forms of attack dailly and they all seem to work
How large exactly is the pipe up this guys butt?
All other forums I visit have a special few that moderate and can lock threads because they are repeats, get rid of posts, and kick people out.
I dont think that it would hurt to have a few moderators. Mike would make a stellar one.

hmm... could be a good idea to invest into lockheed it seems to be a magnet for miltary contracts and the black bird looks like the ancestor of the aroua could lockheed be behind the aroura?
Thanks, warriorlax.
And Anomally, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure there are no propositions regarding the Lockheed Black Bird.
You guys are totally missing the boat here.
Anomally and Slovicks are both bots. Guaranteed.
No way was Slovicks a bot. No way. None. Bots have no emotions. He got pissed, and that led directly to him getting banned.
I don't know, a bot could be easily scripted to look at the words in a post, and respond.
It's also that the posts only peripherally make any sense at following the thread. And, both users are the only ones I have seen that actually have a location showing under their username.
I've been wrong before, but I just have a feeling.
No, I've seen some w/ locations. It looks like n00bs are able to get them.
Wonder if forums and blogs might not be a good way to play-test/train a Turing candidate?
That's not a bad idea.
