So what's the protocol on fake suicide threats to get a reaction?

Page 3 of this this thread has the threat

quote:

What am I supposed to do here, get mad?

I think I'll just kill myself.

I can not believe you just did that.

You're not a man, a man wouldn't do that to another man.

I'm shocked that someone with your endearing qualities would lack the judgement necessary to do the right thing in that situation.

Good bye, all.


Later takes it back, saying it was just to hurt feelings

quote:

I'm clearly not going to hurt myself, maybe it's not clear, but comments like "My ball is being taken to my home" and "den of cowards" are sarcastic, but thanks for the words and concern.

You're off the hook, you did not cause a suicide, I wanted your stomach to drop as mine did.

It's been swell.

Have learned a lot about the human race during my time here, wish I could continue the experiment but must be headed home -- to the mother ship of tin.


Statement from KSGamecock:

quote:

Yea I'm probably banned because of this and while it isn't explicitly against site rules it's a shitty thing to do and I'll own it. I messed up, I feel bad about doing it and I regret it.

In my defense though it wasn't as bad as it could've been because I wasn't trying to put him on blast. I barely put it out there, just enough so he'd believe me when I said it existed and then I told him where to take it down from. It's also all gone now.

I'm not some super hacker who broke into his stuff, it was in the damn url for his sig.

Nothing good will come of this. That thread just needs to get deleted.

Suicide is not something to be joked about. The admins need to see it, and that thread, as well as this thread should be deleted.

The good news is you posted it here, so no one will see it.

Looks like the thread got deleted, and ST's sig is gone so I assume he's banned.

I think you'll be fine. The most you SHOULD get is a PM IMO. But I'm not in charge.

You did nothing wrong. You are accountable for the source of the images you upload. This is basic internet acumen, and it's also expressed in the site rules. When ST posted images from a site with his real name, he revelead his identity himself.

Dumbass put his real name on his imgur acc't hosting his sig. KS exposed this (as someone inevitably would). Also shopped his avy and started a satirical thread. It was funny and lighthearted. OP shows how ST reacted.

Basically,
ST did something stupid
KS did something funny
ST did something atrocious

It should be noted that KS didn't just come out and say "Haha ST is blah blah blah". He joked about it using minimal information and then told him what was going on and told him how to fix it.

Once ST made his threat and showed his displeasure, KS took all of it down and apologized and even tried to reason with him.

Yes at the time it was harmless. ST's guilt trip succeded, made everything more serious and cast a pall.


He is an insufferable douche, did something atrocious, and his first name is Matt. IDGAF

This probably makes me a bitch but for all the shade he throws at everyone else on this board and constantly rides certain posters into the ground just because he's insecure as hell in his own life you'll have to forgive me for not having any sympathy for his supposed plight.

You'd think for someone that touts himself as Billy "I'm Smarter Than ALL of You" Badass he'd be savvy enough to not put his personal info out there so easy.

Sounds like Exhibit A of what goes around comes around.

If I get banned, it's because I created a ton of alters to keep upvoting that post.

That hasn't always been the protocol here. Other posters have used their twitter handles as SNs with their identity attached and posters who pointed out their obvious identity were still whacked. I'm not advocating for KS's bannage because I think he was acting inocuously. But it's happened before.
