Seriously people, Seble comes out of his den, doesn't see his shadow to get scared for another 6 months of inactivity and every thread on here that's attempting to help the game is now down-trending because folks are in a ******* match on six different fronts now. Both attempts to comment on Seble's April 24th thing are down trending. Nacho's excellent post on user polls (the one that got all the options entered ;) )  is similarly down. Sad to see this when activity from the game's developer has been languishing in the Twilight Zone for the prior 16 months.

We need to take advantage while we can. It might be 2016 before we get our next opportunity.

No kidding, I don't understand how people on this forum are so bad at dealing with trolls.  If everyone would have just ignored him the first time he came around a month or so ago, that would have been the end of it.  But now every thread is 10+ pages of posters just showering him with attention.  All good threads from the last couple days have became unreadable.

How does it determine whether a thread is up or down? Why would it be down trending just because one users posts had been thumbs downed on like the 3rd page?

sorry. im the worst offender. i feel like when we had 10 page fights with the old guys, furry and colonels, it was rough, but it was worth something. colonels is cool now, i think most people have come around to liking him. furry was cool to before he left. i guess i thought there was hope for etta :( i think some people have never been on forums before, or at least not much, and are naturally pretty combative, and you sort of have to beat it out of them... and then they become contributors in a positive way. the only reason these guys are so annoying in the first place is they not only are rude and unreasonable, but super active which makes it hard to bear.

maybe it wasn't worth it but myself, i've come to like colonels quite a bit, so i think it was. but ill stop responding to etta. its a shame, he gave me some pretty good answers to some basketball questions i asked (random history stuff), and he seems perfectly nice when answering questions to others in a legit way (its rare, but consistent). so i thought he could be turned around, and maybe he can, but we also have never had it so hard, nobody else was so negative in EVERY thread, rather just going off and totally crapping up one thread every few days or whatever it was :(

again, sorry, ill stop :( i had good intentions - 95% of the time, it is frustrating as hell trying to talk to etta. that one night i was drunk a few nights ago was fun, but really i hate it, and it doesn't seem to be helping, so ill give it up. i thought i was taking one for the team and he could go on to be a productive member of HD, but its getting obvious i am just making it worse. sorry!

Really hoping he just stops or is stopped. I submitted a ticket because honestly it was ruining the forums for me, making it impossible to read or get any information because all the posts are so cluttered and everyone is so preoccupied trying to get through to him. He doesn't like the game whatever, but he really shouldn't want or be allowed to just go in the forums and make the game annoying for everyone else. 

Yes you're right… I do not like you. At all. I hope you quit the game like you've threatened 100 times and move on to something better. Please.

Why are you so keen to turn away a paying customer? Isn't that kind of against the interests of the site?

Don't feel bad. I finally submitted one too.

I just told you why. 

I believe a forum ban is justified. The forums are valuable and mostly civil without you. With you, every thread turns to crap. You're toxic.

You've had three chances. I've submitted a ticket as well.

ditto

The biggest dipshit in this ordeal is seble. He should have just perma-banned ettaexpress awhile ago. They must be in some kind of hole if they believe it's worth their while to have to deal with the slew of support tickets about etta every time his posting ban expires.

QFT

(even though i may be the 2nd biggest dipshit)
