Addressing JDog

[Hi no Seijin]

Your method is not to make him any madder by saying we should pretend he doesn't exist?

Yeah, I can totally see how saying he doesn't exist in the open will calm him down.[/sarcasm]

Here's my idea.  Jdog accepts that fact that we're all jesters and move on with life.

Reaching to him psychologically won't work, HNS. We've seen how he has reacted to us, he isn't leaving any time soon. We have to try something different. If we pay no attention to him and not mention him at all, then perhaps he would get tired of begging us to let him come back and just leave for good.

I think you just contradicted yourself. How is that not a psychological means of reaching him?

[Mysterious F.]

That does seem like a contradiction, doesn't it. Well, it's actually different, in a sense. If we just ignore him, then he's just going to leave because he's tired of begging, not because of emotional maturity.

Isn't that called 'reverse psychology'?

[Hi no Seijin]

Not only that, but I'm under the impression that he has stopped begging us to lift the ban and that he's getting on to tell us how mad he is that we're still making jokes about him.

Why are we even worrying about whether he stays away or not? We can't IP ban him, he's using a proxy. We've done what we can. If he decides to spend his life mourning over the fact that he was banned for swearing and insulting people, that's his problem.

[Carpet Merchant]

He joined AGAIN!?!?! Where did he post?

[MagmarFire]

Isn't that called 'reverse psychology'?

No, reverse psychology would be if we were to try to get him to come back, only to turn us down to spite us.. Basically, it's persuading him to leave by "falsely advocating the belief contrary to the belief that is actually being advocated."

And CM, I think he posted a new topic in the Chatboard. Either that, or he posted in a topic made to make it look like he posted a new topic... I can't remember which.

But isn't that exactly what Whocares was suggesting?

[Mysterious F.]

No, my policy is really just "ignore him". He'll eventually get tired. Even hyperactive little children eventually get tired.

Actually, someone (probably Tacheon, because we all know how much of a jester he is) created a new account claiming to be Jdog as a joke.  Jdog got mad and created a new account to tell us to stop joking him.

And Whocares, he did get tired of asking us to lift the ban.  The current issue he has with us is our continued poking fun of him.

I did NOT create a second account for that purpose.

I just happened to have a secondary account for testing purposes that I like to play with.

You're partially correct, HNS: It was Tacheon who made the fake JDog account, but he just changed the name of the joke account he created as part of a test for Gamefreak back when we were deleting spambots. However, he actually made two topics with that account where he impersonated JDog, but with the most recent one he actually pretended to be JDog. The real JDog posted in that one.

As for what to do about JDog, I think we would be best off just doing what we are now: If he comes back, just tell him again that we can't let him back because he's banned. And he's banned because he broke the rules too many times.

EDIT: Damn it, Tacheon, I wrote all of that only for you to come in and post the exact same thing, but shorter, before me.

[cacturnerules]

I'm with Shika. He's gone, and hopefully won't be back. If he comes, he (hopefully) knows we'll just make fun of him again. It's not that big of a deal.
