Groedius in the Lobby

We need to discuss Andrew/Groedius..

First of all, I know some of WG are friends with him but here goes..

I'm getting sick and tired of him.. Unfortunately I didn't think of getting proof-quotes from IRC but my experience is that everytime he comes onto our public IRC he either gets into mocking someone or our name..

Today he called half our clan inactive, making jokes about our retired/emeritus members vs our active memberlist.. Other than that he's been very good at trashtalking WG + praising Corr. It's a true example of what happens with people when they are ex-members.. They often tend to feel superiour and it's "poisonous" having them around in our community.

I have tried to be civil with him for 1,5 years now but it's about to reach it's end with me. I will not take someone insulting us in the lobby but I know he's old-school and liked by some people.. Unfortunately I have lost it with him.

Am I the only one who feels this?

I feel the same dallar. I only carried on joking with him on it cos then it shuts him up.

If you guys ever feel it necessary to kick ban him then feel free.

ask rachel about this, she is close friends with him.

I must admit, i've seen him do this numerous times - and it is very annoying. He's constantly pms me as well dissing WG as if i'll just be like: 'oh yea, you're right. Cor accepting apps?!'. It's getting annoying. We have no idea what he could be saying to other members.

He asked me what we we doing on Sunday when we were all in world 20. He's like "WG going in wildy? cuz corr is there ya know. wouldnt wanna have to end you guys."

he did the same to me. I just fobbed him off

He's applied for Jagex.
If he gets in, he might be a useful network.
That's one reason to like him but it should be the only one.

He's a very twisted soul with bad social skills.
But at the CORE, under all the bullshit, he will try to help WG if asked.
He recently offered to spy on TBK for me.
For what? Just because he likes WG.

If I get past all the crap and ignore the bazillion PM's he sends every time we're both online, the goodness deep inside shines through.

Take it from me, I have a low asshole tolerance.
I'm going to try, as part of our community endeavour to be nicer people, to live with him and teach him manners the nice way.

If you guys simply have had enough, I guess kick him.

I get on well with andrew tbh. Just the occasional comments from him.

Andrew adores me. I just tell him if I see smack that it is upsetting and he immediately stops. I don't take advantage of this but trust me he would do things I ask anytime at all.

He does bother members in pm occasionally and I tell them to stop responding or I give them advice how to handle it. I have him hang out with me in my channel all the time and if I catch that he is being disruptive in our lobby I distract him.

Advice to follow is this ban only for a set time. Kick him first with reason then tell him it will be a ban and do it.

If he gets into Jagex, which is pretty likely from how his interview went, he will for sure help. He only left WG cause I asked him to when he was bugging Gene to much. No one needs to ask him about it but basically he stayed WG with me. He would most likely return if I asked him to.
