he has a webpage that apparently made itself anyone who went there the homepage for the internet.(im not a mod but ive been following whats been going on but Q,the mods and admin can give better details.) he also spammed with it(i dont know about that part but spamming is a no-no).basically he was causing shit for everyone. check some of the threads regarding his webpage. youll get it.
He wasn't banned for putting a bad link up. He was kiddie kornered for that. After he had been warned NOT to put a link up, he agreed & then, within 2 minutes, put two more links up. Had he not done that after beng warned he could have stayed.
In other words-personal responsibility strikes again.

Don't forget the re-registering under different names to get around the imposed KK quarantine.
I don't think anyone *hates* Altron per se (can you really apply such a severe emotion to a name on a screen?) but there was much debate with him in the middle of it, for different reasons. Freako's right, do a little back reading and check the larger threads he had posted in. There's a history also involved, although I don't think that was a factor this time. :shrug:

this (http://64.4.20.250/cgi-bin/linkrd?_lang=EN&lah=c10a467bc0f00bbd55157d628aa07100&lat=1045147895&hm___action=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2eotcentral%2ecom%2ff orum%2fshowthread%2ephp%3fthreadid%3d6507%26goto%3 dnewpost)
is something that gives a little background ill post some more i hope this wont cause any probs. if it does please contact me and let me know as i dont want more shit to start up.
Also, it wasn't HIS webpage that made itself the homepage...it was Xupiter. Here is some info on Xupiter
"It can actually break the entire system, making it impossible for you to open My Computer or other directories on the computer," claimed one rep, who requested anonymity. "It's worse than a minor inconvenience; it causes major issues with the system. We're getting a lot of requests for help with this."
It's the most evil thing on the Internet, according to some of its victims. But it's not a virus, a scam or a raunchy porn site.
It's a browser toolbar that some swear is doing "drive-by downloads" -- installing itself without users' permission -- then taking over their systems and making it impossible to uninstall.
But Healan said that every time people sort out what Xupiter is doing, Xupiter's programmers tweak its code. It also appears that Xupiter may be selling its "service" to other websites.
"About once every month or two this software starts hijacking people to a new site," Healan said. "And every time a new version comes out, it adds a different startup entry, uses a different method to change the search function and is basically a bigger pain to remove."

I don't hate him... I could swear some people here does it though...
I could never hate a child.
can you really apply such a severe emotion to a name on a screen?)
There are people here who do. Bitter, angry people who have nothing better to do than pick on a child.

Thats what I always thought the ignore function was created for.
:finger: q
This was the sum of his concern for the problems he caused Q. I thought the concensus was to treat him like any other member. Any other member would have drawn a similar reaction from me.

see... I missed that ... cause I was ignoring him.

I have to agree here--sometimes ignoring posts or even certain members entirely is the best course of action.

i dont see them that way. his site apparently screwed up peoples comps and such. he was asked not to do something and continued(kinda what horrible aww crap i mean whoreable did). like anyone else i think regardless of age you should be treated the same way.
I guess we disagree, then.
He's a child. I wouldn't have expected more from him. To expect more and be so let down... well.. gotta wonder who the intelligent one really is, uh?
Well, I feel let down to have expected more from him too. At what age is a person responsible for their actions? Actions like he pulled, I'd say his age. He knew what he was doing, he was told it was wrong, he continued doing it. It's not that hard, and it didn't take a great deal of intelligence for him to figure it out

We were supposed to treat Altron as an adult, let him post here and participate in discussions of an adult nature but then we're not supposed to treat him as an adult when he doesn't follow rules and the requests of mods and admin? You can't have it both ways.
The stuff about the website itself and Xupiter may not have been intentional, as a matter of fact, I don't believe it was. But what happened afterwards, him posting the link and telling people here (and other boards) to go to his site, knowing that it was causing problems for people, and then creating alternate accounts to get around the ban to KK imposed on him and to post his link again, that was wrong. If he's old enough to post here, he's old enough to follow rules and instructions.
Spirit, I don't think your real beef is with the way Altron was treated, but instead it's with the person(s) who treated him that way. That's different and I think it should be dealt with in a different way-privately. Well, at least in my opinion. :shrug:

No.. it's the way he was treated. The way he was talked to. And yes, there are a few people who could give a rats ass about anyone but themselves. But, hey, it just shows who they really are. Pretending only lasts *so* long til the truth shows. ;)
I guess we disagree, then.

Don't expect anything of anyone. Don't expect happiness, don't expect truth, don't expect love. That way you never be disappointed. But...

Hate is a very strong word, and I don't use it very often. That said, I don't, nor did I ever, hate Altron. He did some things that were wrong, and caused a bit of friction between posters here, but his choices are what got him banned. Not hate.
Excellent summary Gato. Thank you.

CIA spy chip transponder in your head. haven't you ever wondered why your fillings beep at night?
I don't have any fillings. I did once though. Half the tooth came out, then the filling came out, then the other half of the tooth came out. Then a new tooth grew in. I was like seven.
