Gaile acted out of annoyance, and anger, and that is never good when one hokds a position of power. If she had said why they were getting banned, why 'Gaile likes pie' annoies her so much, and they still did it, well maybe they should get a warning. Just because something annoies someone, that is not grounds for any punitive action. And after all:
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

*sigh* Quoting latin and still your logic is horrible. First of all, no not everyone spams. I sure don't.

Second just because a lot of people do something doesnt make it okay.

Third, spamming is disruptive and Gaile was trying to talk to the community. The spammers are keeping others from interacting with Gaile and vice versa. Gaile always asks people to stop spamming and this time was no different. I was there and I saw it. People continued to spam so they got banned so the rest of us can listen in on the conversations. Like I said before, if you're willfully stupid to ignore the warnings then yes you should get banned.

Oh and if you don't like how the rules are enforced, you're free not to log into the game.

I really doubt Gaile has any power to ban someone. She would have had to get the devs to do it. Gaile doesn't have anything to do with the inner workings of the game. Like has been said, she is just the PR person.

The amount of crap that Anet and Gaile get is unbelievable. They offer a service that is basically free of charge (sure, you have to buy the game, but the updates following are free. And please nobody start saying that the game isn't free, because that is not the point of this topic), and all they get is crap for the tiny mistakes they make. "Wah, my sunspear title can't be maxed! I don't care if you're trying to do something interesting with the game, I just want a maxed title!" or "Wah, the game isn't interesting enough! I have to do the same thing over and over, but I still play the game anyway!" It is no surprise that they banned people for mass spamming, which is just downright childish.

Also, how do you know a warning wasn't made. It probably was drowned out by all the spam so nobody noticed.

One final word. A lot of people are saying that it is all in good fun, and that they would have joined in if they were there. This downright scares me. Not only does it just confirm the sheep mentality that society has (like this needs confirming), but it also reminds me of all the crap that has happened throughout history because a group of people decided to follow someone else. I'm not going to name any of them, because I am really not wanting to directly compare anyone to these groups. It's just a similarity I see is all.

So, in future, when you see someone doing something stupid, and then some people follow in their stead, don't join in. Think about what you're doing. It'll separate you from the rest of the brainless mob that follows someone on a whim. It sounds harsh, but it's an important life lesson to be learned.

Clearly she was scarred for life when a malicious cherry pie slaughtered her entire family and burned her village to the ground.

Psuedo Halgoen · Feb 24, 2007, 11:29 AM // 11:29

You had to go there, didn't you...

ischuros · Feb 24, 2007, 11:33 AM // 11:33

If they have not dealt with spam, nearly two years into the life of GW, then I presume they dont really care. And in the end, why should they? Gaile banned him because she got annoied, and that is horribly wrong.

two immatures don't make a mature. spammer ftl. gaile ftl.

Must have something againt pies, childhood incident prossibly

If she had have spammed her answer back, maybe they would have shut up. Regardless imo it's an abuse of power. She could have left, instead of forcing others to leave.

Gli · Feb 24, 2007, 12:18 PM // 12:18

Did she at any time ask people to stop? If she did, and they didn't, they were harassing her, and harassing people is a bannable offense. If that's how it went down they all deserve every minute ban they got, easy as pie. It's dreadfully stupid to commit bannable offenses around someone who has a finger in the pie when it comes to banning people. I guess those idiots will be eating humble pie now.

It's not even offending her.. I like pie, and who doesn't?

Maybe there are many people too young to realize it, but there is something about "do you like pie" that is quite inappropriate. If you are over 18, google for "cream pie" with parental controls off and see for yourself what comes up top.

If everyone was a gutter minded pervert, no one would be allowed to talk at all, ever.
If she doesn't like pie, too bad, I like pie and I think banning anyone for spamming this was a result of maturity on par with that of the spammers.

Roshi_ikkyu · Feb 24, 2007, 02:11 PM // 14:11

I guess now you know the Answer,
3 Day ban = No she does not like pie.

Perhaps someone should ask if she like
* Ice cream
* Cake
* (insert random country here), then proceed to mock there value system.

I once was in a district with her, and I wanted to know if she cared about Australians.... I err7-ed. But now I'm thinking it was her signet of power abuse.

XvArchonvX · Feb 24, 2007, 02:18 PM // 14:18

The ban was deserved. Immature brats who are disrespectful should learn that there are consequences for acting like an ass.

Rocky Raccoon · Feb 24, 2007, 02:26 PM // 14:26

You spam you lose, it's that simple. If you got the power use it, Gaille has it and she will use it. Down with Spam, long live Gaille.

Tingi · Feb 24, 2007, 02:26 PM // 14:26

IMO the ban is completely unfair.

Gregslot · Feb 24, 2007, 02:29 PM // 14:29

Who doesnt like pie anyways? Everyone likes pie... its pie for gods sake.

Avarre · Feb 24, 2007, 02:29 PM // 14:29

People got banned. They did something that wasn't liked. You play someone's games, you go by their rules, however they define them.

This thread is a whirlwind of spam, flamebait, and not something that even has much to discuss.

But this is kinda how I picture Gaile, standing over the ashes of Shing Jea;
