Title: NakedPaulToast
Post by: time-killer-games on July 29, 2014, 02:11:55 pm
Anyone else notice the vast ignorance of this stupid weirdo from the GMC? He's literally oblivious to everything. I don't want to go into details as to witness his idiocy was far to much to handle and I'd rather not remember this guy. Just wondering if anyone else noticed, with no surprises I'm expecting at least one other person here to agree. NPT is literally like a full grown, gender-changed honey boo boo and it's giving me a rash. A confused, brainwashed vegetable.

I haven't been on GMC for years. So I don't really know him. I do slightly remember him, but I don't really have a lasting impression on him. I do remember him being relatively competent and helpful.

I remember his username and read many of his posts from the days of the GMC.  I wasn't much of an active poster there but I read lots.

Your post is vague TKG, what specifically do you mean ? examples ?  From some of the stuff I read, he did not seem tolerant to trolls / bashers / flamers and he put some people to place, but of the posts I read he seemed to know what he was talking about.

Maybe I missed some drama, and obviously it's been a while I haven't read the GMC, so guess I missed something.  What you describe however can be attributed to a few members that's for sure but have not seen it in NPT's posts at least the ones I read so it's hard to comment.

What I CAN however say that I noticed is the two faced hypocrites and people who suck up to the admin, mods and YYG, praising everything, and contradicting themselves later or bashing on another forum ! I've seen flaming and rudeness from many towards newcomers, that was back in the GMC days, trolling, flaming and sucking up ! and some ridiculous topics that didn't belong there, etc.
Noticed some scuffles between users over the years and for absolutely ridiculous things.

Haven't seen anything evolving around NPT other than him having his say and putting some people to place, sometimes with a serious tone, even what could be considered borderline rude, but that's it, it's easy to take things out of context though.

Guess you didn't miss anything.  Their forum is a bloody mess !  So much outdated info, old topics, they need a major cleanup and revamp. Their forum interface and look is ugly and unprofessional! I'm SURE they can afford a proper forum script like vbulletin :)

He's the supreme leader of the trollish army. Before I even initially joined the GMC dating back in like 2010-ish I've read many of his post and overall he's just a jerk for no logical reason to specify. That's not the kind of person who should stay on the GMC. If they keep me banned until I push up daisies and keep that thing to still crawl around the forums on all fours I just find it a little unsettling is all. I'm surprised you guys seem to think he's actually worth anything. That's a big mistake. But since you two aren't active over there it's not like it matters. It's like the mods and admins are oblivious to how abbrasive he is.

He goes accusing multiple new members of being 12 year olds, with nothing to go by, he's sarcastic, arrogant, and when someone disagrees with him that makes them irrational and stupid. He'll try to convince them of that in the most rude ad cutting of ways. And everyone praises him for these things as if being a super annoying lunatic was a good thing.

He's popular, so in his case they see him beneficial even though he's a mindless jerk who seriously claims to know everything. at least he thinks he does. I wasn't popular on the GMC, I verbally attacked 1 person (TV) and they instantly perma-banned me. What about NPT? Are they just going to let him slide because he can do jerky things the "cool" or "popular" way? Bad = bad. But on those forums bad can sometimes equal good if you know what I mean. Places like the GMC are way too driven by everyone's popularrity and social status which is just plain stupid.  In conclusion I don't care to have citation for any of this I don't want to over induldge myself in such a bad memory.

NPT can insult the hell out of all these people but it's okay because all the cool people like him. God forbid I act like him for 1 day, that's why I was banned.

He's definitely sarcastic and arrogant, but that doesn't make him a troll. He more often tends to call out trolls and people who are full of crap. Irrational haters of YYG and all who make money, basically.

What I am reading here is quite contradictory to what my interpretation of him was. The other day I read a post where he was explaining license count and Studio in a VM to which Dailly called him a troll. Which I could not understand because he seemed to be giving useful information.

Read the topic yourselves.

Some people tend to suck up to YYG's thinking they gain brownie points or something.  Have not followed much of his posts concerned by this.

Please don't put words in our mouths (or anything in our mouths for that matter  ;D ;D ;D)  I did not say he was worth anything, I said I haven't been following everything on GMC and the few posts I read from him I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary so I might have missed this whole thing. You probably were far more active in the forum than I was, so it's hard to comment.  I'd have to have read the concerned posts to comment.

lol exactly, I'm not active there.  The short while I was I remember some drama, crap from other users, might have missed NPT's offending posts though.  but some people are serious and may come across to being rude or siding with YYG and defending them when a user makes a comment, but many users do that over there.  :P  Nobody is going to get a FREE license for sucking their cocks that's for sure.

I know exactly the type you describe, I believe you TKG, what you describe I have seen lots of that back in the GMC days from many users, one of them was a moderator too, no longer one now. :D

And you wonder why he's not banned ? So long as you praise and agree with YYG you are safe....  But yeah you have types like that on every forum, it disgusts me to see how some new people are treated, that was back in the GMC days, I take quick look from time to time, but it's been years since I've really bothered reading most posts, I have better things to do than read the GMC :D

Well apparently popularity and sucking up goes a long way with some companies :D
I guess rules apply only for some and not for others.  I guess nobody bothered reporting him or complaining !  So I am glad now that I didn't bother with GMC anymore, I didn't miss that much other than the drama :D

Sad reality.

Well TKG, I've seen this in many places before, some of the popular/regulars violate rules in every one of their post and go untouched, yet another person daring to do the same and they get cut off.....

Though the few posts I read from him were nothing concerning.....  Guess some people get along with others, some people don't get along from the start, dats how it izzzz..... :D

Dailly didn't even call NPT a troll in that thread. He asked all the posters who were "flaming back and forth" to stop. I would assume he didn't include NPT in that since it was a separate paragraph to his response, and he did say "By all means suggest things it might be."
Title: Re: NakedPaulToast
Post by: Goombert on July 30, 2014, 03:47:53 pm
Ahhhhhh yes you're right Rusky, I see that now. In any case, I haven't seen any evidence of NPT acting like a troll, but I do know a lot of GMC people have this problem.

Post by: Darkstar2 on July 30, 2014, 04:11:20 pm
I've personally witnessed senior staff, admin and mods scold members because of their post and yet not warn other members for worse violations.  Seems they have preferential treatment and that some people are immune from the rules.  Perhaps they are YYG's alleged benefactors ?  ;D arse kissers or bother who knows.


Title: Re: NakedPaulToast

I suspect there's more a problem of self-entitlement than preferential treatment from the mods...

Are you guys just not reading enough? I'm not providing links because it's way too depressing for me to bother nursing and rehearsing his shit again. It's not like I have nothing to prove my point with, I'm choosing not to. There's a difference. I'm also very stunned I'm not sure what you guys were reading of his but it must of been during a full moon or something.
Title: Re: NakedPaulToast
Post by: Goombert on August 02, 2014, 03:03:26 pm
Relax TKG, all I was saying was I got the opposite interpretation of what you were saying, I thought Dailly was the real troll and not NPT, but that was an error in judgement.

For a small pinch of what I've witnessed look at his profile feed - http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?app=members&module=profile&section=status&type=memberall&member_id=77112&st=0

Slammin Sam and roytheshort obviously recognize he likes to argue even long after all tensions have died down, he's insulting and presents himself as a common trouble maker for no existent reason to name. Very impulsive and stubborn. I can easily find more but I won't waste my time, this I actually found by accident. Yeah most of his feed is old news, but it sums it up pretty good and it all applies to the present as he's still actively making these same mistakes.

Thanks for posting this TKG, like I said earlier I was not that much active on the GMC apparently I missed a lot of drama :D

But after reading this "pinch" as you put it,
I am wondering how the bloody hell do they let this happen ? Another person doing this would have been out long ago.

Perhaps he has vested interest in YYG ? investor ? who knows......

But these kinds of people I have come across quite a lot in real life so yeah, I can clearly see the rudeness in his replies.  It's funny because back in the days I have read actually good posts from him, odd..... but oh well.....  and it's apparent by the links you posted that people are calling him out too.
He must be a BIG incentive to YYG if they keep him around.

He used to be a pretty helpful person, but over the past few years he's gotten quite mean. As to why he doesn't get warned or banned, he simply skirts the line without really crossing it. I honestly don't know why he spends so much of his life patrolling the GMC though, I guess he has nothing better to do.

Well that part I witnessed ages ago, where he was helpful.  I don't know what happened, medication? life trauma ? not getting any ?
large eggplant fell on his head ? who knows.....But to be fair there are FAR WORSE than him, don't look far, YYG themselves - I have seen very rude replies from YYG inside the bug mantis, guess perhaps it's no wonder nobody has touched NPT yet :P

A simpler theory than a conspiracy between YYG and NPT would be that those who get banned are more annoying to YYG than NPT is, because they spread false rumors and throw tantrums about GM, while NPT calls them out for doing so.

Good point, however, who is NPT to police the forums and make himself an authority, besides, there are proper ways to deal with this, and it should be up to the moderators and staff, not a member to be policing others.

The ends don't justify the means and 2 wrongs don't make a right.
Title: Re: NakedPaulToast
Post by: Rusky on August 18, 2014, 06:35:15 pm
Calling someone out for lying and/or throwing a tantrum is not a "wrong." It may not build friendship with those being called out, but it's not something that needs to be pushed onto the moderators, who have enough work to do as it is.
Title: Re: NakedPaulToast
Post by: time-killer-games on August 18, 2014, 06:49:44 pm
"Calling someone out" and "cursing someone out" are apparently the same thing. But whatevs so what we disagree.

Yeah but who the bloody hell is he to police the GMC that's the point ! There is a difference between contributing in a respectful tone and being rude, insulting and looking for trouble, which from the recent stuff I read is quite obvious from this individual.  There is a difference however if one is defending oneself, such as when something is directed at you, you will call someone out, but when you start responding and calling out when you were never involved, that's another story, in that case a person is taking an authoritative figure they don't have, just to prove something or just some ego trip.

Perhaps YYG deems that overall he has made more helpful contributions than bad ones and that he has not really crossed that line to be banned, which is fine, but there are limits to this kind of behaviour.
I know many places where he'd be banned for some of his comments.

In any case, I could care less not been on the GMC for ages, and to be honest now that I have found my new software, ENIGMA, which is getting better and better, and intend to do everything from scratch with it, G**MakerStudio Pro is probably the last of money money they will get from me, unless GMS 2 is significantly better, faster, and doesn't INSULT windows developers with useful functions being deprecated and being put tight on a bloody leash !  So yeah, :D

Post by: time-killer-games on August 18, 2014, 07:50:30 pm
He thinks he owns the place even though not only does he not work for YYG and they don't need or want his "help" but he hasn't made a single game in his life. He has no business being a member of any game creation or programming site, let alone he seems to specifically choose the GMC as his primary spamming grounds. Unless he can actually complete or publicise a single demo (or at least 1 tiny screenshot) of his imaginary work he has no right acting like a police, and certainly no rights to be an actual member. He doesn't actually do anything but talk. A mouth with legs. No actual doing. Just mouthing for no apparent reason. Way too much time on his hands, yes daz he has nothing better to do.

Post by: Darkstar2 on August 18, 2014, 08:44:44 pm
I agree with TKG and couldn't have said it better myself, only thing I disagree with, the community is open for all members, not only those who make games.  Don't forget people showing interest and new comers.  Not everyone has time to make games but are interested to learn for the future.

Though I have seen some forum admins act like him, but he is 1) not an YYG employee 2) not a staff 3) does not own the forum.

BTW TKG, you mean he hasn't made one game or demo ? I thought he had his website and production company ?!?!? If it's the case, then it's sad.  If he's hanging around the GMC to share his wee knowledge with people, that's fine, even you don't make games.....but if the sole purpose is to pick fights and insult people, that's another story.

But he used to be in the helpful category, somehow lightning struck him one day and he changed.....oh well.

One day he might actually cross that line and might be dealt with, who knows, :P
