Gearheads say, "BANHAMMER TIME"

Two words...Swag Pack...or is it Fyro?

Either way, I am going to abandon the "give him a chance" crowd and move over to the "somebody shut this kid up" crowd.

So he changed his name...so he toned his posts/replies down...yeah, for about two frickin days.

This site is supposed to support diversity and bring gamers together in a friendly community. Instead it is being used as an antagonistic tool that is used against the very community that it has brought together.

I dont mind fanboism(I am a huge supporter of MS) and I for some reason have a deep annoyance with Sony. But I dont bash/insult someone that owns a PS3 or doesnt think the 360 has better games, ect.

Did I make fun of Papi when he bought his PS3? No. I simply told him to have fun with his JRPG machine and gave him the big ";)" to let him know I was kidding around.

I personally love Halo 3 and think it is one of the best games I have played. But when someone comes along and says that they dont like it that much I let them say it and dont bash them because it is their opinion and I have no right belittling someone for speaking their mind.

As for CoD4, I now dislike Swag/Fyro so much that I will probably never let this game into the welcoming dvd tray of my 360 as long as it lives.

Why? Because, everytime it touches the engineering marvel that is my Xbox 360 I will feel as though I am tainting a system worthy of much more.

I am here to call for the Banhammer. Make him go away. I do not want to see another Gearhead insulted. Another opinion mad fun of. We are here to game together, not irritate each other.

Papi/Sweet/Zos

I urge you to do what you need to do to purge this peril from our clandestine home that is Gearheads of War.

    But he is still on second strike ;)

  •  This is a community (none / 0)

    and imo he has made an obvious attempt to change his behavior. If he keeps it up, i'm ok

  •  I knew (none / 0)

    exactly what this thread was about, but really who didnt.  At first I thought as though he was trying to make a concious effort to change but any sort of respect that he gained from me was lost immediately after the last thread by him!  I say ban the fool, but its not my place!   If he can keep an open mind and learn to shut up when its needed then sure keep him here but how many chances does one need!  It'll only be a matter of time before he "slips" again!

  •  I sent him a FR last night (none / 0)

    Haven't checked to see if he accepted.  I guess I am going to try a few games with him and give him a chance to see if he can "Overcome" himself. :-)

    I don't know how to "handle" this, but the fact that he is still here shows a resiliency that I find interesting and amusing as well.  But my A-hole antenna will be up.

  •  I do believe in second chances (none / 0)

    At the same time if the majority of the community believes he should go, as usual, I will bend to the will of the community.

    I've said many times before that I could really care less if this community ever becomes really huge as long as it always remains a pleasant place to friends who love Gears to gather.  Anything that disrupts that I'm prone to change and change quickly.

    really think this dude is just a young naive kid.  Hes posting in the thread about getting him banned.  And the post isnt defending himself and attempting to save face its about someones sig.

      •  well (none / 0)

        do something.  You just dont help out your own cause.  You got banned then come back under new management! Everyone knew it was you (fyro) but you didnt appologize or anything for your previous actions! If you can bite your tongue when need be I have no problem with you and it looks like the majority of the community agrees with that as well.   And I think the ones that still are annoyed by you/have a hate on for you would show a great deal of respect towards you if you were humbled and gave a sincere apology!  We all know you love COD4 and cant wait for it and we're happy for you, and many would probably love to play with you.  You just need to step up and appologize for the comments and flaming that you were associated with!  Just a few pointers for you!

  •  Wow (none / 0)

    Whatever he stands for, he is not going to explain it better or apologize for his actions.

    Well I guess that says it all........

    Even do I'm always against inequality of people, I try to get alone with everyone I meet even if I don't know them or understand them.

    I've been called different things in Gears (none while I'm playing with Gearheads)

    But I'm Mexican there is no way out of that one  :P
    I do eat beans, I don't know anyone who does not eat them regardless of skin color....

    But let me tell you at the end of the game I do rate the people who say such low remarks about me or anyone while playing.

    SO THE BANHAMMER NEED TO TAKE THE STAGE..........

    Sorry, blankman I only have a digital watch!!!!!

  •  Wow Fyro, you very well may be the (none / 0)

    most hated Member that's ever been part of this site. Why? Because you don't have respect. You disrespected EVERYONE on this site, and mainly, not personally, papi due to the fact that you made this community look like every other community that has countless immature kids. And for you not to apologize for your "Health Assignment" is the most stupid thing I've seen someone do when they did a mistake. You just made some senseless excuse instead of being a Man and saying the most simple, but respectful thing to say, "I'm sorry, guys." Sure you've made threads like the one above 'apologizing' but do you mean it? I guess not since you just go right back to your fanboi, immature attitude. I'll end this with what I've said to you countless times:

    Grow up.

    Gearheads Rule #1: Don't fuck with the Gearheads.

  •  i wasnt around to read what he said but in the (none / 0)

    past few days he has really been anoying me

    i dont know why he would want to stick around with all the crap he is taking from people.  i dont understand why you would want to be part of a community where he is unwelcome.  I say that we shouldnt be too rash but if he keeps this crap up then he should be banned.  I'm with zoso, he has one more strike in my book

  •  fyrofox got banned? (none / 0)

    i did not know this.  i guess there must have been a good reason.  I guess if he was being stupid then go ahead and get him outa here.  We dont need this kind of drama on this site.

    Im "Geared Up" are you?

  •  I have to go with no (none / 0)

    only because i have personally never heard of fyro and what he has done and why everyone dislikes him so much. So i guess i cant hate and ban a man that i dont know. but it aint my dission so...
