Reported.
How does someone get banned? Just because somebody else reports them? Don't the mods have to make that decision?
I never saw anything he posted that I would ban somebody for.
Sure, he was cranky sometimes, but that is my goal in life now. To be a cranky old man: "git off'n my lawn!"
He has had to field tons of negativity, I am not saying our concerns about the game are unwarranted, just that he has been a one man band for a while now. If that was me I would be telling you to F*** of my lawn.

Hope you get back soon Babs.
Yes, but who banned him? The mods on the site? Or do people report others and they are automatically banned?
Maybe because he didn't post much on other games, and could be perceived as a salesman for this one game? I still wouldn't ban him.
Won't this game look graphically outdated when its eventually released in the latter part of this decade ?
(assuming of course it happens in this decade)
generally they keep upgrading the graphics, if you look at how it looked before it was widly more basic, biggest jumps were more on lightning and such. They are still wanting to add new features like ray-tracing so I would expect the game will get a bunch of visual passes, especially on the details, lightning and VFX that'll double down on visuals
haven't seen much of that yet as the new renderer, gen12 that'll have vulkan replace DX11 is undergoing the initial implementations after years of work

He generally responds by attacking people as either being "Karens" or gaslighting them. Sometimes he dials back to posting irrelevant videos. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of people being told they're 'haters' because they're disappointed a game has blown past multiple deadlines.
When I encouraged him to post features that the game offers (as an effective way to sell his passion) the only response I received was an 'LOL'.
His posts are so bad that some here think he may be a black flag - pretending to be a fan of the game but driving people away by being over the top and offensive. He isn't doing the IP any favors, that is for sure.
I'm not saying he should be banned and I certainly didn't report him. However, the negativity he gets is about how insulting he is at every turn, how he hand waves away honest complaints with insults, and is otherwise unreasonable. The negativity has almost nothing to do with Star Citizen, which seems to actually be making progress.
True, you did specifically encourage that he post more about features and improvements instead of simply parroting funding "milestones" and flame anyone who criticizes the project.
It's not like we don't have other posters who do that. In this thread alone we see another poster explaining the graphics upgrades to another poster. He's not banned.
I'm fairly ambivalent about the ban for that reason. I don't buy into the dystopian freedom of speech argument for website forums, nor do I think banning someone whose posting habits are so specifically adversarial is going to cause this site to wither away. Based on experience, I'm sure the ban was temporary. When it expires, hopefully I'll see some posts from the person that aren't about touting money raised or insulting anyone who criticizes his favorite project.

Leaked video of what happens to the money you spend on pixel space ships.
I'm curious, at this point in time how many other space sim games would you have to lump together to make up that 500 million? Would not be surprised if No Man's Sky, Elite: Dangerous, wing commander, the entire X series etc etc all added up don't even come close to Star Citizens money burning.

I won't speak to his ban however, I have seen more progress in the last year for SC than I have in all the previous years combined.
I still can't recommend people jumping in at this point, but it is improving.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.

That's good, but progress is soooooo slow. It's like sitting around watching the ocean dry up.

Even with that, all these years and SC remains the game with the greatest protects of delivering an experience that has clear demand for on this MMO genre.
It doesn't move at a fast pace, but it also makes us wait because SC knows it doesn't need us, it is us who need it. Prophetic.
Anyways. I'll probably log in for this, just so I can double check on how broken this game still is.
Let us know how it goes.
Egotism is the anesthetic that dullens the pain of stupidity, this is why when I try to beat my head against the stupidity of other people, I only hurt myself.
Probably for his angsty passive aggressive trolling and gaslighting, not to mention talking about unicorns..... plus he spams.....a lot.
Anyways. I'll probably log in for this, just so I can double check on how broken this game still is.
I've heard him call alot of people stupid and ignorant and words like that if they disagree with him on SC.....I still think he is associated with that company in some way...he goes way beyond the typical fanboi.
Honestly, I'm just not that into running around like a gimp until I CTD or have an elevator experience. Frankly the client is trash and the game is a borefest. I will try some more this week, but honestly, I am not sure why I would.

That can't be right, unless after a certain number its automatic?
