[dudejo]

According to the banned user log...

Rac3rX, Rac3rX_GTP, TeamQuick - 03 Nov 2005 - Banned for repeated personal attacks, attitude problems, and argumentative behaviour. Also a known troublemaker on other forums.

 

[dudejo]

ya i think i saw him on GameFAQS

any idea how it all started? i recall some of his earlier posts and they weren't as bad as the log says.

I predict a moderator will come in here, give you the short-short version, and lock 'er up.

Who's racerx?

 

[MugenVTEC]

The reason of his banishment says it all. Theres no more to say actually...

 

[skip0110]

Well this was the last nail in the coffin.

A search can often answer these questions.

 

[dudejo]

thx for the link.

i DID try to search but the results were cryptic at best.

btw, is he REALLY "the best ever?"

not that i beleive him but is he THAT good?

He holds the current top speed record in GT4 at 368.74, as seen here
Im not too sure on how he stacked up against some of the other road racer but he fast as hell and im trying to beat him!

See, what all those questions you're asking about him, I'm thinking that you're RacerX. Because why would someone ask questions about a banned member that has been banned for like 4-5 months.

Don't get me wrong, thats just so weird...

No, he's not that good, and the real issue is that he continued to make these disruptive, attitude-filled posts throughout the OLR community. This is a relatively tight-knit group, and certain protocols have developed over the years, such as never claiming times unless you can back them up with a replay file, and being squeaky clean with your time submissions. No one will ever gain true acceptance unless they prove themselves scrupulously honest and fair. Racerx was neither of those things, yet he persisted in acting as if he was God's gift to the GT world.

Eventually the GT world got tired of it. I believe he's banned most places by now, except maybe with a few of the other bitter outcasts like Wity.

He has his own phpBB board with most of the members being like him... lol

don't worry, you have nothing to fear from me

if my memory serves well, i was already around by the time racerx started appearing.

hell, GameFAQS's GT community is relatively isolated and he STILL attracted enough attention to get banned

last i heard of him there he tried making a drifting video which went totally ignored except for some relatively neutral comments from some user. never heard of him since.

is he IP banned now? if so, i laugh at his mug

 

[ND4SPD]

Damn! I though this was a thread about a RacerX from Speed Racer!
Ahh what the hell!:

Woo!
(Great now I'm humming the speed racer song)
Odd, I remember him, but I never knew he was actually banned. Thought he just disappeared or something.

Only someone with the name RacerX could pull off a driving outfit like that.

That doesn't mean I won't try it tomorrow though. *runs to get his old halloween costumes and some paint*

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Wow, I knew him at some forums, didn't seemed so arrogant to me

Yeah, I saw some posts of his just like the one Duke linked to, but really, he was nice to me, and he even helped me out some with tuning and all. I personally was disappointed when he was banned, but it was needed to be done.

But, I think he's still around here, as Rid3rX.

Yes, we know.

And the plot thickens...

 

[3-Wheel Drive]

Rac3rX to Rid3rX? Wouldn't one want to be a little more discrete if they'd been banned, than to pick an almost identical name?

 

[ImprezaAddict]

I saw him on a place called GTAWH. go and check
looking for something on a game on the forums that wasnt gta related

Smart, choosing a near-identical name. Smart.

Not that it matters, sinse banned users have to make temselves known to the mods when they come back under a new name. anyway, lets talk about him some more, i'm sure his ego is loving this.... 👎

Actually, we require that they don't. We prefer Banned members stayed banned. They've been told to leave, and should stay gone. Banned is banned, for a reason. If they do return, we usually catch it and ban on sight. If they return and stay under our radar, and we don't catch it, they got lucky.
