Next time, and I include myself in the guilty party here, perhaps we should wait until someone's been around more than a month or two before giving them ego-feeders and telling them they have potential to be great posters.
I thought this place was gonna be different.
This wasn't the first time this happened. He's worn out his welcome before, which is why he cut his losses here so quickly. Look at the straw that broke the camel's back: losing friends. The guy is starved for attention. He loved the ruckusfuck until it dawned on him what he had done.
We didn't do anything wrong by patting the guy on the back. He just couldn't handle it. People were repping me with notes attached about sticking around and keeping up the good posting at around the 2 month mark, I just didn't interpret their endorsement as carte blanche.
The guy's a flake who no doubt pulls this shit in real life. His friends are only his friends when they're smooching his ass and spoiled baby bullshit like that. The fact that he's a jobless class clown from fucking Florida should've been a huge red flag.
I'll give him credit where it's due, though: he was smart enough to know that if was going to call me out, he'd have to follow it up by saying that he'd never log in again. Stay gone, WBL.
I think he was cocky before he was even getting praised, personally. It must stem back from being a member on other forums, but Wrestlezone isn't the easiest place to make friends as a unproven rookie.
Nah, notice how he said:

He really did give Florida a bad name. WBL stands for Worlds Biggest Loser.
Wait people still care about infractions and reps?
He seemed fine to me until he snapped and decided he wanted to take on all comers. This isn't the first forum for a lot of folks, but yeah, apparently he didn't fully realize that what he'd done elsewhere didn't matter to us. WZCW dodged a bullet, that's for sure.
The former- yes, because at worst case scenario it can get you expelled (as it happened here) and at the very least remains as red marks on your report card for good. The latter- not much usually, except when you receive it not because you made a bad post, but because some guy simply doesn't like you (again, as it happened in this feud).
These forums? Harsh? This place, bar room included, is babytown frollicks.I like being low profile and surviving in this harsh forums for so long now.

Like I said in another thread, as long as you don't get enough to get yourself banned, infractions are nothing. Who gives a fuck if they're on your User CP, it's only you and the moderating team that can see them anyway, so it's really not a big deal.
If you care enough about rep to get upset if some guy red reps you, you probably care enough to try and post constructively to get some green rep in return. And as long as you do, it doesn't really matter that much.

Not really... ProWrestlingFan's "20+ infractions/warnings" didn't get him banned, but by my understanding, it contributed to him landing in The Prison. Also, the moderators/administrators would definitely not hold a member with a dozen instances of breaking the rules in the same regard as someone with a clean slate, in matters of suggestion, criticism, request or consideration- be it exemption from another infraction or of adding another member to staff. Similarly, the reputation bar beside your username is one of the first things people notice, and based on that a non-regular will assume the kind of poster you are. RenaissanceMan2014 often got judged by the "solitary red bar" on his profile, but obviously he was a better poster than what the rep bar implied. Reputation and infractions both have their roles to play.Like I said in another thread, as long as you don't get enough to get yourself banned, infractions are nothing.

That's not the point. Consider this- you write a blog, and some guy totally craps on your entries, and it's obvious that he doesn't even go through them and is only doing it to piss you off (as opposed to the ones that went through it and giving you honest criticism). Even though you get a lot of positive feedback, that one guy will eventually get in your nerves. You will not get "upset" over it, but you will not be totally Gandhi-like to it either.If you care enough about rep to get upset if some guy red reps you, you probably care enough to try and post constructively to get some green rep in return.

He was no JohnJohnson.
And typing trash about someone knowing he cannot respond back makes you a real winner.
