i think we all do a bit,but at the end of the day anyone who doubted it would have come across as a very sick person,its only natural to believe it.

It's like I said in the first post, don't feel like a fool because you were sucked in by it.

If you posted your condolences, you did so because are good person that cares and trusts that people wouldn't joke about such a thing.

The only person that should feel ashamed of themselves is SamR.

I ****ing knew it! I knew as soon as I saw it, it was fake. Both were dodgy, attention-seekers and if you had anything to do with them you'd realise they have serious mental issues and a very bad lying problem.

ive never seen a samr here before
but ive seen the chrissyone, when BB was on.....
O.O

how can someone make up such thing
thats quite offensive :(

He had to fake a death to gain attention from a couple of people on the internet. Pathetic.

I like to point something out the other problems this hoax seems to have caused tonight in some of the other topics There have been people claiming that other members are attention seekers. Even in this thread an innocent member has been accused of being SamR.

I can understand this happening after this despicable stunt. We will all be more careful how we read things and what we believe. Some of the trust will be lost on the site, but there is no need call people liars or attention seekers. It's okay to think that but to say it is out of order.

People that are attention seekers will actually enjoy the fact that you are telling them they are lying or seeking attention, because you are giving them attention. You have to remember these people actually enjoy negative attention as much as they do positive attention. There is one basic way of dealing with attention seekers and that is not to give them any attention, i.e don't reply to their posts.

If you have to reply, remember the rules and don't insult them by calling them liars or other names. Just argue your point in a rational way and prove them wrong. There is no need to insult anyone and be careful of others feelings when posting, because some of these people won't be the attention seekers and liars you think they are!

Some of the things, excluding the comments about SamR in this topic, I have seen in other topics tonight would have lead to warnings if this was a normal night, but it's not.

Next time you about to hit the post button when your angry, read the post again and if you find have insulted someone, ask yourself this, would you like it if someone said it about you. If the answer is no..... then don't post it.

Finally if someone insults you, don't reply with another insult, just report and let the admin and moderation team deal with the problem.

i done done a few times (i was personally offened with some **** remarks by some members)
but no action was taken -.-

a Toally agree!

nicE avatar! :D

Okay that is fair comment, that sometimes things don't seem to get done, but the post will be checked by several people. When it's my watch I always try, and most cases do reply to reported posts in a U2U.

Tonight there were two reported posts, the result of which ended in closed threads, I feel that was because tonight is a bit unusual because of what has happened. In normal circumstances some of the things said would have deserved warnings.

I will bring the subject up in the towers and see we can make some kind of policy change so that we all do the same thing. We acknowledge reported posts either by acting in a thread or sending a U2U.

God thats sick. I was a tad suspicious, but not much. DT even had RIP in his MSN name.
Oh well, at least its not us that have issues. Why would anyone do that?

Sorry... misread your words.
I thought you were saying that you (as SamR) was trying to tell us that your not as sick to make something up like that, and that you were calling us 'pervey freaks.'

I feel so embarresed now... http://getmesmileys.com/smilies/ashamed0005.gif
