Re: sigh, yves
[ QUOTE ]
I know very little about Yves except that he is close in real life with a few of my friends like Vanessa, Prevaricator, etc. Have any of you talked with Yves directly, or one of his friends that you happen to be close with to see if you can reason with him? Everyone says he is the coolest guy in real life, if he is really that cool then surly he must be able to come to a reasonable middle ground if he gets some outside input? He is looking for attention, maybe we should give him some? of course I could also be wrong... but all could work out just fine with a simple phone call to make amends. This worked with Dan Bright, didnt it? [/ QUOTE ] TT, I am told the same, that his online persona is NOTHING like him IRL. |

Re: sigh, yves
His online persona was not always that way. Back when I regged he was a very solid strategy poster and didn't make any waves outside of what was SSNL/MSNL. Obviously, college or something else has changed him. Ed, have you asked any of those guys to just talk to him and try to get him to at least attempt to reform?

E,
"I am told the same, that his online persona is NOTHING like him IRL." Um, wasn't this the dude who had pics posted of him doing lines of coke off a naked whore or something? If so, seems like his RL persona matches his online one perfectly! |

[/ QUOTE ] El d, I am told he is acutally pretty smart and sane and normal, outside of that incident, which was in part contrived by his online persona. 42it, I tried talking to Baluga about it once or twice, but its hte summer and hence they arent really in contact. Once school starts again I can try again. |

[/ QUOTE ] Ed - we obviously hear the same about Yves - which makes me think that reaching out to him might be the best solution so Gild doesn't have to deal with his shenanigans anymore. Lets try to make a short list of people who can help reach Yves, intermediary friends of his who we trust, who can arrange a phone call with one of us (Ryan?) to help break down the walls of miscommunication. Gild needs help here, as a team if we try I think we can reign Yves in. |

Re: sigh, yves
Honestly guys, Yves' behavior off of these boards is totally unimportant. If/when someone "reaches out" to him (though to my knowledge he's been contacted by basically all the mods in level headed, concise manners), he's going to be told exactly what he's been told countless times - that he needs to shape up or ship out. He obviously gets that message and doesn't care because he knows there's no effective way of making sure he doesn't come back. He wants the attention, he can get attention, and there's virtually nothing we can do about it. Whenever the accounts become clearly yves, we can nuke them, and that's about it.
That said, I'm all for trying to talk some sense in to him, because fewer headaches long run is better. I just don't think that will be the end result. I'm also certain there's a group of mods that have Yves' AIM contact info, and to my knowledge, which is sparse, he spends time in one of the 2p2 chat rooms, I think MSNL, so one could contact him initially that way. |

We are not RL policeman and our interests are only regarding behaviour on the 2p2 boards (and even then, only the interests within our subforums). I don't really care what he does outside of 2p2 or what he's like irl; his only relevant actions are how he acts on 2p2. Dan Bright is different...he has actually apologized and recognized that his behaviour was unacceptable, which is something yves never has and probably never will do. Dan Bright is also not a problem at ALL anymore in bbv, not even close to a problem. Every time yves comes back he is always a huge problem. |

Re: sigh, yves
I think you guys made this way too complicated. If he's banned from BBV, he's banned from 2+2.
From what I've read and seen everyone should consider him ban on sight now. I'll block the IP. |

Oh well, it was worth trying.... Yves hung himself each time he was given the rope though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |
