tssz|news CENSORING User Comments!

(Update: 11:00am) I receive a message from Tristan - which I respond to.

"So..."hax0r tails"...
=====
> Hi There!
=====

Why did you feel the need to make an alias solely for the purpose of berating my editorial content?
=====
> The alias has had previous uses – that’s all it was created for, to be used as an alias for whatever situation called for it.
 Originally, “hax0r tails” was used to befriend Blazefire after I was informed by a “friend” of his that Blaze had given him a VERY early build of Project Firestorm. How he managed to obtain it I won’t go into. I used the alias to befriend Blaze – lure him into finding a fake “Firestorm Team Update Patch” I created, and downloading it to his computer to patch his copy. All the patch did was remove all of his Firestorm files and replace them with a large Blazefire Smiley with about 10 copies of the same 10second .wav file of someone screaming.

Initially, I thought it a good idea to use the alias as the face of the Blog but after telling a few individuals, and some others finding out by simply listening to an Episode of ‘The One-Sided Talk Show’ – I only used It to maintain the focus of the blog.
=====

But scarier than that...why did you feel the need to find me on Facebook? Are you trying to track my personal activities for your "douche" blog?
=====
> Actually I had forgotten you were even ON here until you messaged me just now.
 A While back you sent me 2 E-Mail’s regarding asking for any additional information or help myself and a few others could give in dealing with some personal Threats against yourself and Mistook me for a more..ah.. – “Higher Up/Figurehead” in the community than I am (or Think I am LOL)

So when Facebook asked me to Import my Contact Lists to check if they have Facebook Accounts – You got tossed in with the rest.
>
> That said – No, I rarely go on Facebook to begin with – and when I do – I’m not tracking your personal activities for the blog.
 The Blog is about my personal views towards the articles, and responses on TSSZ. That’s All. I have no interest in your personal life. For me, Facebook is for seeing what my Friends (whom I talk to regularly) are up to, and to post links to new song I’ve made.
=====

There's a damn good reason you're not permitted to post right now.

-T"
=====
AH – From looking at it from that prespective, I suppose I can understand your concern – However, I feel I have explained myself well enough to be given back my right to free speech you hold so dear. If you would like to BLOCK/IGNORE Sever the tie between us on Facebook that is completely understandable and Rest Assured I will hold no anger in your doing so – Everyone is entitled to the protection of their personal life and keep it private.

However, I have never made, nor do I intend to make any personal attacks against you other than perhaps name calling and questioning your journalistic approach as I have been doing. I don’t think I swear or use vulgar language any more than numerous other Repliers – And believe my right to Speak my mind – Just like everyone else, should be allowed on TSSZ – No matter what my personal Opinions are.

I will also Continue to update the Blog when I see fit. It’s for fun, and it’s a blog – The point being I can talk about whatever I want and have whatever Opinion I wish.

(Update 9:30am) I am able to submit a Comment by using someone elses computer here at work - However, I still retain the:
"Comment Submitted - Pending Approval by Moderation"
--> Shortly thereafter, my Reply was removed.

(Update 9:10am) After numerous attempts to submit ANYTHING from both my home and work computer - I still am unable to submit Comments to any story on TSSZ.

4AM - I write a lengthy response to this. {Stadium Mandates, Sort of Breaks “No Drama” Resolution}
...I Hit Submit and am told the comment is "Pending Approval by Moderation"

1 Minute later - My post is gone.

--> Obviously, TSSZ's stance is that Freedom of Speech is well justified as long as its TRISTAN being awarded that right, and not those who visit his BLOG.

Which is what my comment was about - I compared TSSZ to a Blogger ranting about nonsense here and there guised a respectable "news site"
-> And I threw in a shot about how much Tristan must LOVE Brad - since he follows his every move.

After trying to re-submit a completely different response, under a different name and email and website, it still failed to be submitted.

What do I have to say in response to this?

"Let’s face it–not a lot of people liked [ MY ] stories yesterday that focused on The Sonic Stadium and its administrators for needlessly banning discussion of a major story [ I }broke."
-> Yes, Preventing Drama = "needlessly banning discussion" XD

Also - it doesn't help that YOU Cross-Posted "A Pre-emptive Defense" full of whining on multiple sites yourself.

The Feast Comes Early - TSSZ is NO on Gay Marriage

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 13:00:37 -0500

There's been so much going on at TSSZ lately it's become somewhat difficult to keep up - much like running after a 3-legged dog that you know only wants to play and have fun - but is still tiring you out to the point you'd rather let rover have his fun and wait until its ready to come back into the house... (Isn't that the cutest little animal you've ever wanted to have 4 legs?)

Metaphors aside - theres alot to discuss today... Lets try to recap everything that HASN'T allready been mentioned.

Poll: 50% Approve of Reporter Bans on Websites

Results on Heels of Restoration of TSSZ News Access to Retro

Thats exactly right - remember that Poll we mentioned earlier this month? Go figure - the results are in. TSSZ is ontop of their work today...

"Exactly half of those who participated in our latest @Issue poll believe the property rights of webmasters trump those of reporters attempting to bring you the stories behind them."

So let it be known - TSSZ Recognizes that (despite their poll being in favor of the house) The Majority of its voters felt that RETRO was acting in its right , and were disgusted with the behavior TSSZ has been presenting.

Sonic: Time Twisted Getting Overhaul

Creator Admits ?Mediocre? SAGE Showing

Well this is a plesant surprise - Amongst the slurry of "Sonic Unleashed" video updates - most of which were YouTube vids and are now offline - theres this little gem.
TSSZ has actually gone out of its way to tell people about something INTERESTING in the Sonic Fan Community.

-> For those of you who dont know (Which should be few and far between if your reading this...) Sonic Time Twisted was a SAGE 2008 Entry that ranked highly for numerous reasons, despite a number of flaws. They've since been noted and taken care of - as a new version of the game is being worked on completely from the ground up.

Sonic Nexus: Still Not Dead

Two ?Tipsters? Forward Disinformation to TSSZ

This is a great one - Anon users by the names James and H20YO12 totally won the internetz. They successfuly prooved that TSSZ's "Submit a Tip" can be abused as eaisly as...well... Our pet Rover. We didn't get to witness this firsthand because we were busy having lots of sex with multiple females. If anyone has a screencap of the story we'd love to get our hands on it. For now, we only have a very pissed off Tristan bitching about how his precious skills at jumping the gun on stories were shattered at the hands of nothing more than a prank to expose himself for numerous lulz.

"...Evidently, so was a short snippet we ran last night for about an hour. We had cited two sources who had claimed via our News Tips system that Sonic Nexus producer/director Slingerland was ready to call it quits on the Sonic fan game project, opting for a quiet withdrawl, rather than making a grand announcement."

"TSSZ News regrets the error."
-Tristan Oliver, Founder | November 3, 2008

Well if that wasn't enough fun for today - Head over to this spiffy lil blog post entitled:
"I Remember Tristan Brensen" to read how a disgruntled Tristan fan mocks us all.

-> Oh and one more thing - I'm realy fucking sick of seeing this bullshit on TSSZ.

Unbiased? Go fuck yourself Tristan.

yes im aware the ads pop up on this page as well but at least refreshing mostly clears them - and im entitled to whatever opinon i want since this is a blog - not a news archive. as a freewebs user I have no control over the ads.
I suggest ad-blockplugins

A Tried and True Bowl of Mac and Cheese

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 13:00:26 -0400

When TSSZ broke word of "Sonic Proof" we didn't feel it was completely worth taking a jab at. We let The Sonic Stadium do that for us.

But once again We find ourselves banging our head against our monitors and keyboards... and quite possibly our iPod's at Tristans unwavering ability to completely fail at the internetz.

> Sonic Retro - who has been warning it's members well in advance of a Server Move (Similar to many large online communities) Finally preformed the move earlier today and last night.

While this does cause some disappointment for those who were still unaware of the intended downtime - It was hardly worthy of TSSZ's coverage.
If a forum isn't loading normally for a few hours - can't most people figure out whats going on?

And since when has TSSZ taken it upon itself to let everyone know whenever a Sonic Community Forum goes offline?

Yeah... Fantastic. Thanks Tristan.

Interesting Observations

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 12:00:51 -0400

NOT ALOT OF ROOM AT THE TOP
Ever noticed how after every Incident TSSZ has had with it's "not-news" news, the Piece or Pieces are quickly bumped off the TOP 3 spot and into the Text-Only List for the last 24 Hours?

Every time Tristian stirs up shit and everyone comes to complain - The piece is quickly bumped down the board by a few lazy news articles.

> Recently it's been:
Hi-Res Sonic Unleashed Shamar Screenies
Full List of Black Knight Art Contest Winners
Sonic ?UK?s Most Popular Videogame Character?
Web Comic Parodies Sonic in LittleBigPlanet
Sega in No Rush to Unleash Unleashed Demo
New Sonic Unleashed Daytime Screens
TSSZ News @ Eurogamer Expo 2008

If your counting - that's 7 new Articles since the TSSZ News Denied Access to Sonic Retro After Story Published story!

Why is there always a feeling that these stories are being bumped, and hidden on purpose? Is 1 day all that is allowed for people to read and comment on how mind-numbingly retarded the story and its intent is? What if someone didn't happen to check so soon?

POLLS ARE IN FAVOR OF TSSZ!!!
I just bothered to take a close look at the POLL we mentioned the other day...
> Keep your eye on the possible responses...

@Issue Poll (Oct.22/2008)

Do you think it's an abuse of power for any webmaster or administrator[Sonic RETRO] to ban reporters[TSSZ] from covering that site's affairs in an effort to prevent unsavory or otherwise critical coverage[DRAMA]?

Yes 47
34% of all votes
> (POSITIVE) Yes, I agree with TSSZ
No 67
48% of all votes
> (NEGETIVE) No, I do not agree with TSSZ
Maybe 13
9% of all votes
> (POSITIVE) Maybe I agree with TSSZ
Unsure 13
9% of all votes
> (--------) I am unsure if I agree with TSSZ

As you can see - The TSSZ Poll FAVORS a Positive Response in favor of TSSZ's Opinion. Despite this - 48% of all votes fully Disagree with TSSZ - Good Job!

Slingerlands One-Sided Talk Show plugs This Site

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 12:00:31 -0400

We would like to thank Sonic Community Members Slingerland & Perfect Chaos Zero for plugging us on Slingerlands One-Sided Talk Show in a recent Episode dealing with TSSZ.

Thank You Both for the support! Were glad you find this site ammusing.

It might be interesting to note that today we recieved over 60+ Visitors who each visited for an average of 3min. We hope you all return Frequently for updates whenever Stories at TSSZ get out of hand.

We strongly support the views from the show - are our own persons and have our own opinons.. and Refuse to give into TSSZ's "Douche Morals"

We would like to mention that the purpose of this site is to archive these "not-news stories" and serve as a place for 1 individual to express their opinion on TSSZ - Tristian's Articles, and the Drama they create. As well as an alternative place for others to comment and share their thoughts.
The intention of this site is not to attack, scam, or net-stalk TSSZ, or its staff, including Tristian.

- Dear Tristian
Stop.

Inflate Ego as Necessary

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:00:28 -0400

Today we were given the headline:

TSSZ News Denied Access to Sonic Retro After Story Published

DoS Attacks Threatened by Retro Members; Admin Calls for Boycott

____________________

I'm Initially thought that the piece would be about:

an Admin Calling for a Boycott
Retro Members Threatening TSSZ with DOS attacks
TSSZ Denied Access to Sonic RETRO

I was however, mistaken.

To sum up our feelings - We Quote Svend Joscelyne of The Sonic Stadium:

...As I?ve said countless times before, if you?re going to apply ?real world journalism? values to an Internet community (one that thrives on sharing and discussing from one website to another) then this is what you?re going to get. TSSZ can?t really complain about this outcome when it was inferred a million times that this was the road they were going to be driving down....

...Personally, I think the issue is not what is being posted, but how it?s being written. This story for example, I see nothing but propaganda in TSSZ? favour that is akin to something FOX News would do. Because Retro blacklisted you due to a very specific string of events, you can?t then assume that Retro are going to ban everyone who ?disagrees with the forum elite?. That?s an unbiased retaliation in itself, and given TSSZ?s stance shouldn?t be part of its agenda....

TSSZ Has gone out of its way to let everyone know it's being proactively banned from Sonic RETRO and refuses to give into the request for an "apology" on the grounds that they've done nothing wrong and that their Journalistic approach will only grow stronger.

It went so far as to call into question the 1st Amendment. Which applies only to Legal US Citizens, not those who might live around the world with access to the Internetz.
- And therefore reaffirms that the Internet is Serious Business.

TSSZ is now running a POLL asking (more or less) if people agree with TSSZ that the actions taken by Sonic RETRO should not have occurred.
- We urge everyone to VOTE NO and stick up for our community.

REMEMBER - It's not news, It's TSSZ News

Stir 2 Cups Bullshit Incident

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 01:00:54 -0400

The first entry for this blog takes a look at today's 2 new ingredients.

2 Cups Bullshit - Stir until you piss everyone off.

I'm sure nobody expected anything new to spring up, but that's why were here, to document it for you.
Our first entry was a reminder that Fangame "Sonic Nexus" was infact NOT DEAD... I wasn't even aware that it was in zombie form to begin with - or perhaps it was on some kind of opperating table, or in a serious condition at the local hospital.

Nevertheless, This isn't realy what the article was about - it was about letting everyone know (assuming anyone even cared) that a slanderous comment on the Nexus BLOG had been removed. A Simple thing itself, but On a Slow News Day (See TSSZ)

This apparently, couldn't even be reported on correctly - acording to Slingerland :

By the way, Tristan, the ?negative? remarks were flames that included calling the team and I ?unoriginal,? ?dicks? and/or ?shit heads,? if you were curious. They were completely unwarranted, and disrespectful, flames. It is simple as that. He continued to do so until I blacklisted his IP earlier this afternoon. The issue has been resolved, as it was just your average troll visiting our site.

If you?d have contacted us to get the full story, you?d have known that information. Seriously, I?m on AIM all day or you can E-mail me. Do something, rather than getting an incomplete story.

All in All - Once again, there was nothing worth reporting on... but Life Finds A Way...

___________________________________

Our second topic today is Akward Social Experimentation (See TSSZ)

We were also informed today of an UPDATE to an earlier story regarding something someone did on Sonic RETRO - I guess an admin... Nobody but those involved even care.

The piece was Over 9000! words long and completely pointless - regarding peoples stances on someone nobody cared about despite his psudo-Demigod Like powers.

A God's powers were even Ignored, Scarred Sun said:

Well, since TSSZNews seems to be dying to hear my opinion on this, despite censoring my opinion on the matter earlier:
http://www.sonicretro.org/2008/10/21/an-open-letter-to-tssznews/

Sonic RETRO has now joined SFGHQ & TSS in it's stance Against, TSSZ.

Tristan Oliver remains at large.
