shortest fuse on the planet

He tried to scam his videos onto the site and then made a 6 minute angry video about it, after arguing for 5 hours on Twitter with people who weren't even involved. What was your first hint?


He still seems like a huge douche, though.

I don't expect that to change. I'm sure he still feels like the victim in all of this.

Oh well.


In your situation, I would have tried to avoid him as much as possible (I guess you could say 'don't touch the poop' in this situation), and just let him fume on his own.


The fact he immediately went to the boss to complain, and made up bullshit to exaggerate the reason(?) seems like his MO though. Go figure.

Holy shit, I lived in San Antonio for three years and think I might know the store in question. That's fucking crazy.

Haha! Thanks for sharing your story, that's amazing.

For the record, I removed the original video without watching it because it was 15 minutes long, titled "SaGa Frontier Review/Retrospective", and was obviously made by the poster, all of which made it pretty clear that it wasn't relevant. We have a bot that posts in IRC when someone edits the wiki, so I saw it when he posted it and took it down right away.

Does he still think we were in the wrong for removing the vid, or did you manage to get through to him?

If this guy doesn't wanna be doxed and/or harassed, then how about not making himself such a big target.

Just saying.

That seems in line with that SEO blog post he made. I manage to run a website and have a decent following without spamming my shit everywhere, I'm sure he can too.

He insisted that "there's no money in that", and I agreed. The content is too niche to be marketed and profitable. We had come full circle here, and that's when I explained it was for this exact reason why TCRF solicits donations. He seemed to understand it when I presented it in that manner; I could tell a light bulb came on.


*facepalm*

Reminds me of that quote, "People assume of others what is true of themselves." He's only out for money, so he assumes everyone else is too. Props for trying to get through to him, at least.

I think he's definitely got some online ridicule coming for his obnoxious behavior, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that he deserves to be doxxed or harassed IRL. That's pretty horrible for anyone, and, like Kon says, drags people into it who were never involved.

His behaviour seems pretty obvious to me. He's just recently discovered that he can make money from Youtube ads, and is now churning out loads of crap videos and spamming them everywhere he can. He's essentially a human spambot - find a popular site such as TCRF and try to embed his spam links/videos in it however he can, choosing something that at a glance might appear to be vaguely relevant so as to have a chance at staying for a while. He got butthurt when that didn't work, and is now probably just trolling for hits.

Pretty standard spammer/"SEO" behaviour.

Pretty much what Rena and Girlydragon said.

Also, none of the games and stuff really need explanation on the game, much less in video form. If you're looking for a particular game, then chances are you know the game to some extent already, right?

Exactly, and had I managed to catch it before some other people did, I would've given it the exact same treatment. Deletion.

He's either thick or doesn't want to admit he's wrong. Probably both. At this point, until he gets it, he gets a every time he pulls some hubbub maneuver.

He also seems to be really adamant to get higher-ups involved so he can get people on his side.

I also wouldn't think this would be the end or de-escalation point just yet. Probably relented just for the sake of looking like the bigger man when he then tells this story to his friends and followers but completely rewrites the story in his favor.

*shrug* It's just that he fits into a specific personality type that would likely do this. If he can prove me wrong on this I would be really happy to see that. No joke.

Interesting! I wonder how things will move on now.

Also, kon, can you add a style="color: white" to one of your layout tags? Not all forum themes use the same color.

I know there's a discussion going on here but can we all stand back a minute for some applause for the opening post? It's easily one of the best posts I've ever read on Jul. Like, god damn, that's one good post.

I agree. That's some seriously well-done exposition, regardless of the subject.
