Forum villains play an important role in the internet forum ecosystem — they incite debates about a variety of topics with their questionable and often inflammatory takes, and they inject some some much needed drama and conflict into the environment, leading to the formation of many unlikely forum alliances against them. They might be a troll, intentionally trying to aggravate people make forum enemies, or they might be genuinely obnoxious by nature, maybe even obliviously so, but in either case they occupy the same forum niche. You may not like them, but the presence of one or two forum villains makes an internet forum a more entertaining and less stagnant place

All the good forum villains left long ago. Good trolls put a lot of thought into what they do. So much so you could never prove whether or not they are trolling.

Nowadays the standard is “Who can be the most annoying”. Hardly a great measuring line once you are over 10 years old.

I couldn't disagree more. Just like the world in real life, we don't need assholes and psychopaths. I don't understand why that is. I've read the police utter: "We do not want a criminal free society." I can't understand the psychology or philosophy behind that. It's like, they WANT some people to turn out bad!!

I understand some people grow up in less than ideal conditions, and that's not their fault. But then it's up to the society's leadership to make the necessary systems so that these individuals are given every opportunity to get in power of their own destiny.

That is not so hard. It starts with the school system, which is basically very inadequate in this sense. Bullies are allowed to wreack havock and evolve their psychopathic abilities. And continues this into their adult life, working life, dominating like little psychopaths, creating more victims.

Same goes on the internet, where this is magnified. How many news cases aren't there where people have even committed suicide due to internet bullying?

The only philosophy i can find, for why the governments of the world do not work hard on this, is that they WANT there to be a society of violence and torture. They WANT us to have a "divide-and-conquer" mentality. Because THEY THINK, not the truth or reality, but THEY THINK, that this hardens the human spirit, and also they think that this makes us stronger in terms of enduring working life, so that we become better working bees or drones. Which is exactly what they want.

So, many of us are doomed from the start. We go to school to learn to interact. What does this mean? To endure and tip-toe around bullies and psychopathic children, that learns their behaviour from their parents? Or because there is no workers in school to work with the environment there, put children and youth acting out in their place, so they learn to behave?

That is how it should have been since the beginning of the school system was implemented. And it has not been there. And that is exactly why this faulty philosophy continues.

We do NOT need forum villains. We do NOT need bullying. Or someone to "ostracise" so that "everyone else" feels "included". EVERYONE should feel included. Bullying should be instantly and viciously stricken down by the forum leadership. When it's not, we get a toxic and vile environment, where anyone trying to make a humorous point, or even step their tiny little toe outside the boundaries of what the "norm" is, is singled out and wrongly judged, sometimes extremely unfairly.

I know everything about this - also from real life. And it is extremely ridiculous. A very absurd and inefficient way of life. When everything could and should flow so much better. That is what you read about, companies that are well driven, with good leadership, people feel valued, they can express opinions, everything "flows" well. Any forum can be driven this way also, with GOOD leadership. It is not hard. So i wonder why some people insist so much on making it so very difficult to accomplish.

Interesting. Which user, from any time period, would you say is an example of a good forum villain?

This post is a violation of the site rules and appropriate action was taken.

I'll take this as Taurean being your nominated forum villain. Thank you for your contribution

He did not vote me as a villain, he "posted in a taurean fan thread". As in he knows you hate my guts.

To me, it is 50/50. Because you are a person, behind every fake name is a person. And the words you write here means something to someone else. Also those that are hurtful. I am a very strong person and i can take a lot, but singling out one person as you do, and 20 other users and all their fake accounts, is an extremely evil thing to do. And you try now to paint me as the villain... while the 20 users you gang up with truly is the villains.

If you had been like that towards -everyone- ...... also your gang... then it would be a different matter. I would not react as much. I just wonder how it's possible to generate so much hate against 1 user over such a long time.. like 5-10 years from some users. That is a lot of hate. Hard to understand, really.

But, keep going. I truly don't care. Keep trying to pain me as the "villain" ^^ lol. If i can influence you to be a better person, i'm happy. You will never influence me to become a worse one, i can guarantee you that. Goes for all the others too that harass me on a regular basis. You're not even close.

Mods.

They follow the rules(which they are allowed to interpret) but in a few keystrokes they can easily make someone rage so hard that they make Multis to come back on the forums just to rage more about their decisions.

I know technically they’d have to deny such things but I guarantee that in a private group somewhere there have been a few mods chuckling over ban hammers they’ve laid down or suspensions they’ve given simply because these forums get absurd sometimes.
