As much as I'd like to oblige you, I'd say just peek at NG.com or some other random forums with Master Taskue in the search. At one point he made it clear he had actual real feelings for an anime character. No I mean it, he made it a point to annouce it seriously. He's also made it a point he "respects" them very much. Case in point someone posted a stupid image of some underwear with some anime chicks on it.
There's more but I think I'm not going to mess with this thread anymore. >.>
That's strange, the way I though it was supposed to work is that boards have known rules. People break those rules, then there are consequences. Banning a member because some people don't happen to like what they are saying or have said on other boards, when no rules are being broken, is deeply problematic. What I find more disturbing is when some people troll that member's threads and post comments that look akin to bullying. On a really strict board I dare say a couple of members would have been banned for remarks in this thread, and the OP isn't one of them.
The guy collects anime figures and posts about them, so what? He posts on multiple boards, again so what? This is its own board, why should what is posted in any other have any bearing here? He's made 17 threads here in three and a half years, not exactly massive spamming is it? Why is it so hard for people to just stay out of threads that don't interest them?
The same reason that you take a monkey out of its social group, paint it bright pink, and put it back, the other monkeys will immediately tear it to shreds. Or the reason the kids in Lord of the Flies eventually ended up chanting "Kill the pig!" and slaughtering their own, or that cultures since time immemorial have enjoyed human sacrifice and giving into mob mentality.
There's a part of all our brains that wants to destroy difference, and many of us find pleasure and comfort in that destruction: today, it's him and not me. Some people give in to it out of fear, because they have skeletons in their closet and are terrified the tribe will find out. Others, out of sadism and sheer pleasure in shit-stirring and destructiveness.
And after all, it's not a big secret that there are a fair number of posters on Sega-16 who don't really give two shits about Sega or video games, and are mainly here to spark forum drama and start fights, because it gets them off (maybe sexually, for all I know? People are weird). So they want this thread to turn into a clusterfuck, for entertainment's sake.
To be completely blunt, if I had daughters, I'd probably feel safer letting them hang out with Tasuke than with some of the creepy, date-rapey, obvious-anger-issues dudes who have graced this forum. I'm not saying I'm terribly keen on Tasuke's interests, but hey, whatever gets him through the day is fine with me as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
Let's reserve the pitchforks and torches for people who actually act like assholes. It's not like there's a shortage of that around here lately. But of course it's easier to pick on someone who's unlikely to hit back, as every Internet hard man knows.

It's ridiculous to criticize people for posting content just because you're not interested in it.
If you don't like the content that people post, then don't click their threads. Seriously. If nobody is interested in it then it will quickly fall off the front page. If you want to be a dick and make fun of people for posting stuff, then be a dick.
But don't complain as if you're forced to click the thread and make asinine comments.
"Woe is me! Somebody posted stuff on an internet forum that I'm not interested in! Whatever shall I do?!"
(same goes for Guntz)
First its:
Oh...the mods are "thin-skinned" and ruining the site....rant, cry, tantrum, pee the bed, ect....
Now its:
Oh mods......please help me they are posting stuff and "I dont like" it...rant, cry, tantrum, pee the bed, ect....
I have some in the box sealed Justice league pvc figurines, almost the whole set.
Tasuke breeds discussion!
Comfort levels and whether or not to respect an individual's levels are always interesting.
He can post what he likes (within Sega-16 rules) as long as everyone is allowed to comment (within Sega-16 rules) is the only option it appears. It looks like everyone gets to eat a big plate of deal with it![]()
Diabetes sucks!
But but but the thread keeps getting bumped to the top! Forcing me to click on it!!![]()
