He's a really stupid 15 year old kid who's only getting worse and is now turning into a furry.
Most 15 year olds will probably act like this or act in a way to piss off most 16-25 youths who KNOW they're mature and act better than them. There are loads of other people who make their furriness much more explicit than what I've seen Segovia do.
Most 15 year olds are terrible and that's the point. Anami (the artist formerly known as Gecko) is 15. Just compare the two and you'll find Anami is well spoken, smart, worthwhile individual.
And I'd want to get banned people who act more furry than Segovia too. I didn't jump on the Segovia bandwagon just to have somebody to rail against. He fits the description of somebody I wouldn't want here.
His posts contribute nothing, but hideous art and he makes damn well sure we see every last bit of it.
The ghost topic at least had some discussion, simple as it was. It wasn't a topic that's been beaten to death so at least a few people got to say what they think and post arguements on why they believe or not.
Well it's not easy to defend the art so I don't post in his thread. Yeah, sorry. As for posting it all, or at least most, there's no rule against that and it's not something that goes against some rule of netiquette. To someone who says he only cares about the Anything forum Dos, you should find it easy to ignore his drawing topics.
The ghost topic did have some discussion. I even tried to be polite about it! I got in early and linked to a relevant site. Ghost stories are awesome, but as I said in the thread it's a suspension of disbelief thing. If you're going to start proclaiming that ghosts are real and that you've had experiences with them you're going to get called out.
I do prefer the Anything forum because it's always been the forum with the worthwhile threads. Ozy & Millie and Current Strips have generally been where the furrier members of the site posted threads about WHAT IF MUDD AND LLEWELLYN GOT MARRIED? or WILL OZY AND MILLIE DATE IN HIGH SCHOOL? TEE HEE, but Fanworks is borderline. I read fanworks because there are a few people who actually can draw. Over the years I've seen Foxchild, Ferret, Chris, Octan, and VenM2 or whatever gain the ability to put things on paper and not look bad.
Most of these guys began doing shoddy pictures in attempt of Simpson's style. I'm all for that. The problem comes when Segovia is making multiple threads, and posting dozens of pictures in just a few days. I hope Segovia does improve both for my sake and his.
(Netiquette is a really stupid word by the way.)
The entire chatroom can't stand him.
Well, there are degrees to that. The chatroom is where opinions are far more easily and quickly said without considering them. Still some people just don't care enough or outright aren't bothered. Though a lot are, perhaps not to the degree you are.
I made this thread in hopes that those who don't care will say "I really don't want him to have to be banned, but I won't miss him". Right now this poll is more even than I expected, but I suspect if I added a "don't care about this" option that would probably draw away from no votes.
You admins are forced to be dicks to good posters in the name of fairness rather than just realize that Segovia is the one who is ruining things. You know you hate him to.
Everyone does stuff once in a while people hate, or at least disapprove. It's easy to point out one cause of why people are acting the way they are when there are many. The same people, you have to admit, act the same way whenever they see someone who isn't at least a little like them. This goes for both sides. It's just that certain people are less inclined to step out of their way to understand.
DC doesn't need to be a hivemind and I'm fine with people generally making subpar threads and posting poor artwork. That's not going to make me want them banned. It's the sheer quantity of this that makes Segovia go beyond just being an annyoing kid.
The man has made more posts in like 4 months than I have in 5 years, his posting rate is only going up. He averages .7 posts per HOUR.
Quantity is certainly not quality obviously, but even so there's no rule on the forum about keeping to a limited ammount of posts, even if that's better. Post count isn't something to be taken seriously anyway - I know you don't take it seriously Dos.
You can't set a hard line saying X posts in Y time are too many, but it's easy to see he has crossed the line. Nobody making that many posts can be contributing much that is worthwhile. Honestly like half of his posts are just things in the forum games section. Even ignoring these posts there are still a massive number of them.
In the very likely chance you are not forcibly removed from the forum: I apologize on behalf of those who have taken your presence as an excuse to become hostile and flex their trolling muscles. Please do not make good on what seems to be a threat to make life difficult for all of us.
Just QFT.

This isn't a forum for assholes, we still have a growing fanbase and hopefully there's going to be many new members in the years to come.
Demographic shifts. DC is now a community of people who happened to like Ozy and Millie at one point. Standards are going to go up compared to 2003. Even if O&M was still going it's become apparent that the comic only plays a small role here. That's not to say we should immediately be hostile to anybody new, but we can afford to be picky.
(Clever way of avoiding the word filter by the way)

Also, when have any of said "gang" ever contributed anything to this forum? I can't recall a time.
