This was posted to JU.

Exactly!

You guys need to stop getting your panties all in wad whenever an article gets cross-posted. You don't own the site

Exactly! I posted it in the correct genre, and I selected general discussion! If you noticed anything I post is what I think would be of interest to others as well as to myself! What is he talking about spamming and drivel?! JU gets spammed by idiots who want to be noticed! And just because you might be a gamer doesn't mean that you insult others who you don't consider to be the same! And neilo, like I said, your second comment was a reasonable discussion opinion, your first wasn't!

LOL. Get banned! That's hilarious. Yes, please, please report me to everyone you can think of. Ding me for as many trolling points as you can.

This is pure comedy gold.

I'll email Brad and Karma myself and tell them I've been bad if you want! Hahahahaha.

This story is BS, period.

He doesn't understand how the cross-posting from JU to the other sites work.

I think you put the article in the appropriate place and I found it interesting and a worthwhile topic for discussion.

Neilo: Just an FYI. Cursing is allowed on JU.

Now again and for the last time, i insulted/attacked whatever you call it a web site, not you nor anyone else. And i refrained from using offensive language. Maybe they allow that on joeuser but not here.So in response to my non offensive worded opinion of the article and you guys and my insult of the web site, you guys respond with offensive personal insults, and continuing to do so at that.

We're obviously speaking another language since you don't seem to understand what you wrote and why we responded to you in a like manner. Try reading up on what JU is and also re-read the entire article and the link, and your response, and look for the meaning of the word Toilet, and when it's used in reference to anything other than what one is supposed to do in it! Then you might understand the hornet's nest you created! I bid you adeu, it's late and my bed calls!

Yahoo does sometimes accidentally pick up fake news stories and pass them on as legitimate news. I can't imagine anyone would pay $9k for a video game, especially something that is readily available, but if the story is false, it's yahoo who has erred here.

This story definitely seems a little off...



Would you mind enlightening me (and any others)?

Neilo, why would FS debate you about this? I found your first post about the game being widely available in Australia interesting but could have done without the lead-in.



This part is annoying. It doesn't invite a response for debate. Maybe you didn't find it offensive, but it sure smacked of a personal attack. And if you don't get that, then let me enlighten you. The part where you refer to it "This [which most readers will understand to be the article which FS wrote] is just more crap" doesn't refer to JoeUser but to her article.



Are you kidding here? I can think of several reasons you might actually believe that. The only flattering one is that you didn't proof-read.

It's too bad. I think things could have evovled into an interesting discussion of gaming, and fake news stories.

I will, however, thank you for the comedy. I have to agree with Tex on that one.

Umm, pretty easy. Certain categories (like gaming or personal computing) cross-post. Things posted on JU in those categories are also posted on some of the other sites. I don't know exactly which ones post to where specifically, but for some reason it's a HUGE deal when a JU blog gets cross-posted elsewhere.

Interestingly, we over here on JU don't attack you guys when something you post is cross-posted over here.

Neilo,

You should learn to use a search engine before you decide to call people stupid and naive. You see, I Goggled: eBay guitar hero 9100.

It returned a top search result of a tech blog titled: Australia’s riches gamer.

Clicking on that reveled...

Tex said it best...

neilo: Fuck off.

Oh and learn to use the fucking quote feature. It's easy. Even someone as simple as you should be able to get it.

please continue this line of behaviour, if anything it will get you banned and stop these post on this site. My opinion.

neilo,

I am quite certain that you are not admin, and if you check TOU carefully, I'm pretty certain you'll find that trying to act like you ARE admin is likely to get you banned.

YOU attacked FS, pointlessly, because she DARED post this on the GalCiv site. For the record, we have no control over what cross posts, nor is there a big neon sign to let us know that is happening. While we've figured out most of them, every once in awhile, we post on one we don't realize will cross over.

You had a point initially, a pretty good one, actually, that this story has a fishy smell to it. And you could have said that without attacking the OP, and, in fact, if you'd have had much experience in online forums at all, you would have done so. Your response was bad form on your part, and I assure you that, while I am NOT admin, they will have no problems with FS or TW's comments.

Seriously, man, if a bogus story about a $9000 video game is all it takes to get you to blow your stack, you need to get a life!

Good to see that your sense of humor is fine. Not that i intially intended that comment that way, but i can see the funnier side to it.



No, i don't. As far as i know, to post here one must sign up to Galciv2 and log in and post, if there is another way i don't know about it.



Thats fine and i agree, but since my argument is about you guys believing it and posting "crap" as i put it, onto websites other than where it is intended, the point is rather moot.



I did address the point of this being taken as a personal insult. I wrote,


Again, i will echo that comment and say that my comments were inflammatory toward joeuser.com. If they were taken as a personal insult then for that i will apologize. That was not the intent.



I'm sorry but i have missed your point here. If it was pertaining to above, than i have addressed this.



There is a whole story behind the problems with many topics from JU finding there way over here and causing many issues. Granted, most of these are in the Off-Topic thread and center around the religious and political theatre but many are just perceived as spam.



Of that i don't doubt. JU is an open forum there is not set topic, this is a game site which bothers many people when Off-topic threads are posted here. And yes i know this was listed in gaming, i was not referring to this thread in particular.

All in all i still believe that offensive language should not be allowed. It is frowned upon here and if any post from JU can find it's way over here, then it should be frowned upon there too.



It certainly is, and my comments only add to the debate, when taken as they were intended. "F*uck Off" on the other hand does not further the debate but only incites what we have here.

This can still be debated, in the end, what is the point in debating something unless people are in disagreence?

Your right i am not admin and nor did i then, or ever portray that i was.

I guess this is pointless, but again, i attacked no-one. I attacked the quality of a web site based on my opinions of an article and thread posted there.

I don't know how i can be more clear on that. I have not used offensive language, many of you have. I have not called anyone any derogatory names. I offered an opinion that the article is crap and that anyone who believes it must be naive.



Again, admins here on Galciv2.com do have problems with offensive language. I'm sure every other part of their comments are perfectly fine.

just john.

Where did i call someone stupid? Thats right no where. So if you are going to attack me and tell me to learn to use a search engine, then how about you read the posts you are commenting about.

I did read the article and your links. Do you believe everything ever written?

And as far as the quote feature, i could say the same about many of the posts here, but i figured as most smart people would, that it is a difference in the web pages of both sites that make the quotes the way they are.

Pretty smart for someone as simple as me.

It reads 'forums.galciv2.com' in my address bar. That's all that counts for me.

Cursing is allowed on JU.

It isn't on GalCiv2, where we are reading this.
