PokeBeach is Epic Fail

I’ve been to PokeBeach since 2010. I went there because I often go to their site for news. I joined the forums because I wanted to discuss news of the new starters. I STILL think Tepig, Snivy, and Oshawott are poorly made. After that I made more posts. Was not very active until August. Had to deal with Gen 4 haters, TyrantTyranitar, some douchebag who whiteknighted complaining fucks ruining a positive enviroment, Undaunted haters, Triumphail fanboys, and generally people who fucking love to complain which makes up for much of the community, but I’ll get to that later. From what I’ve seen, there are always MULTIPLE consenting opinions often towards ONE side. Dissent is often uncommon (but not rare) and people who disagree would sometimes get picked on (GB Sounds for example, apparently thinking it’s not the greatest thing in the universe is considered unintelligent). Almost always most of the communities are unanimous towards one point. I am not saying the entirety of PokeBeach agree with each other as I’ve seen many arguments and differentiation in opinion (most the latter, but there have been a share of arguments), but usually it’s 5+ against 1-2. I also noticed tons of bans before mine and 2 in particular have been over NOT LIKING the Black and White games (seriously, I have heard about how people were banned for posting threads about how disappointing the games are).

Another common trend is how this forum is treated like serious business, as if it matter SO MUCH. I know PokeBeach is the most popular site when it comes to Pokemon TCG. The webmaster, Water Pokemon Master (WPM), likes to treat his forums as if it were serious business. WPM made people moderators like a job interview and made a pathetic “Forum Jail” system for banned users. The Rules are so overly strict, it’s a tyranny. Did you know you can’t advertise AT ALL (not even in signatures, seriously)? Mods can also ban you for any reason they see fit, allowing for subtle power abuse. Their first rule is very contradicted by the sheer amount of complaining that happens in news topics. I also consistently broke the fifth rule with my signature banner (mantities), NOBODY NOTICED THIS!

Not to mention their Ignoring Member feature was broken in 2010 and it only notified the person is blocked, only notifying the user is in the Blocked List, yet STILL showing the post.

I was banned from the forum over of two reasons (possibly both). The first reason is for consistently bashing HS Triumphail. I will admit, I did attack the set in many of my posts, but it was done no different than how HS Undaunted was bashed. Not to mention I called the set by its actual name. Unfortunately, because the set is considered “god” to a good deal of the community, I would be targeted over this. Had I went for Emerging Powers or Rising Rivals, nobody would target me for that.

Because I consider Triumphail to be the worst set ever (mainly over the way it’s overglorified before and after release), I would be banned. Unfortunately (for them) this would actually prove my point that Triumphail IS treated that way.

The other reason is for this blog’s profanity and attacks on many forum members. If I posted that shit over there, I’ll get banned in an instant, I’m not that fucking stupid. I had to express my opinions without it being censored, there was no way I could post this in nicer terms that would comply with the community. The reason I made this blog is because I’ve had with the retarded conformity praising Triumphail as if the world depends on it. I also had other crap to get off my chest, like that TyrantTyranitar fuck. The people I called out on were justified. The only one I went particularly hard on was the aforementioned TT. The others I just called on what they posted. Besides, why should I have to abide by your rules all the time all over the internet? I don’t do it in real life. Also I never posted this blog anywhere on that site at all. So this must have been found through Google searching.

Either way, the ban was laughable and ineffective. And I don’t care. If I did I would be comply towards it. This blog would be deleted and I would actually try appeal to you fucks. But this blog remains and I don’t feel sorry at all. I’m not going to deal with this forum jail shit because there are far worse things than to be banned off PokeBeach like losing a 3DS with a Pokemon game inside with tons of event data on the game file (happened to me). Not to mention I use Facebook for news commentary so fuck that forum shit.

A certain person said that this blog is just negativity and complaints. This is coming from a person who comes from a community where people bitch about:

Arcanine not being extremely good

Accelgor and Escavalier Theme Decks

The tin promos (before it was confirmed that it was the Ability ones)

Reshiram and Zekrom reprinted

The Format (Another example)

Prizes

Call of Legends

I can go through the entire forum to find crap from last year, not to mention no posts last year were posted here. Not to mention, this blog is just me (one person) and PokeBeach is more than that. Saying this is just complaints and negativity is like saying calling someone who is a little chubby a fat fuck while being obese. Also, this blog was started as result of some really nasty negativity of over TCG sets that came from THAT forum.

And seriously, why do they have to complain so much? It’s trading cards, why is there so much stupid drama over what sets have which, what is in the Theme Decks, reprinting, a card not being good enough, and the format. Don’t like the format, don’t plaay the fucking game, nobody is holding a gun for you to compete. Didn’t like how you enjoy Worlds? Too bad. Here is a newsflash: not everyone in the world can afford tickets to Hawaii so they could compete in meaningless overblown tournaments. Be grateful you were able to go. Why bitch about how you didn’t have fun? The people who staff the event worked hard, just so you can dissrespect them. Why do so many people have to act so spoiled? I live a shitty life where I get treated like shit because of how I look like and my parents don’t love me AT ALL. So many times I have do deal with their harsh treatmeant and their unsupportive attitude. I go through much worse stupid shit and these PokeBeachers complain about not getting a fucking card they way they want or how the metagame is not trailored to their every wim. They don’t know what horrible or awful truly is. They would not live 2 seconds in my shoes.

I’ll close this with a video by a friend of mine, Empoleon19D, in regards to my ban. This is his views not mine.
