kafds? yes or nono
Chapter 1: Prologue
Hello Xtreme-Jumps,
as you all know our beloved member and friend kafds has been permanently banned here at XJ. I tolerated and sustained that decision for a long time, but the huge gap left void today reminds me too often of his forcibly removal in the past. We told you, yes, we told you. But the consequences we face now might not be irreversible, maybe it is not too late.
We all know a few man can make a difference. Kafds is one of these, who can… obviously. In this thread I’ll definitely prove that kafds is not only a constructive and very important part of all progress, but also increases the overall welfare and enthusiasm for kreedzing itself. Yes, kafds improved your life quality, too.
Chapter 2: The ban
Before we take a look at his infinite impact on the kreedz scene in detail, I want you to look at kafds himself as a person. Kafds’ story is a tragic individual case and we let it happen. The woe he experienced has to touch us all. Kafds is banned, yes, but without any justification.
The official reasoning for his permanent ban is: “Constant trolling and offending posts, such a posting behaviour is not wanted nor tolerated on this website anylonger. + Accessing others accounts to take part in discussions at the forums.â€
Here is a definition of the word trolling: “In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion“ (Wikipedia ofc)
The first claim is: kafds was trolling. But if we read the definition and pay special attention towards “the primary intent†of a troll, we will realize that kafds differs a lot from such a personality. He has never been interested in harming a discussion or development in the forum, on the contrary, in most of the cases he acquired a constructive role and enlivened the situation with his active and constant contributions.
Here are just some random examples, a few out of thousands.
- kafds in 'What's better?' thread asking normal questions
*Simple and true
*Participating in forum games again
*Some movies he watched
*He even listens to music
*Very helpful advice
*His honest opinion
*His two cents
Kafds made over 1300 forum posts. A troll? Someone, who does not care at all, just there to destroy? How much time did he spend at XJ – just for trolling? Do you really think kafds would be such a bad troll, since none or anything was really damaged by him?
Look at his posts in these threads, are they so different? These posts have a negative, destructive core? Where? All these posts already disprove the second assertion the banning reason does: kafds’ posts are offending.
I was browsing through his forum posts for a long time now and I couldn’t find one single insulting or disrespectful text passage. Where is that kafds, that attacks other members brutally? Why is kafds still extremely popular among the whole community, if he is that homicidal?
Of course all these questions do not have an answer, because this is all just a big misunderstanding. Kafds shares some character traits with a troll and that is why he was falsely mistaken with one. The definition describes “extraneous†or “off-topic messages†as a typical content for trolls. It is a mind-blowing coincidence that kafds shares this excitement, but once again I must point out, that a troll uses this content to generate a negative effect, that is his “primary intentâ€, whereas kafds, as I showed already, is not interested in something like that. He wants to take part in our forum and he does not want to destroy it.
Very often kafds’ posts haven’t been understood properly, because of the intellectual and emotional level he reached. Sometimes, the monstrous extent of his evolved thoughts had a crushing effect on his readers. Because of the inability to approach kafds’ world of thought, some readers misjudged his executions as point- and aimless wall of texts and rated them as spam or even worse. Others followed their survival instincts and answered tl:dr and escaped from a confrontation with their inferior brain cells. A neglectable minority tried to fight back, tried to understand the impossible – we never heard about them again.
Therefore, kafds’ thoughts might have had a negative impact rarely, but it isn’t kafds to blame, we are the guilty ones, not being able to understand him. This is all just a big misunderstanding.
Let us continue analyzing the reasoning of the ban.
“Accessing others accounts to take part in discussions at the forums†is easy to relativize. Kafds, being banned and left alone in the dark, believed in the goodness of the human species; he was convinced that the people in charge would find out that this is all just a big misunderstanding, but his naïve hope vanished after all his attempts of correction were choked in its roots. Desperateness and melancholy took control over his mind, abuse of drugs reached a maximum. In a state of a depressive trauma he decided to use his intellect as a weapon, for the first time ever, to get, what he deserved anyway - access to XJ.
Chapter 3: kafds’ impact
His forum posts can be divided into four categories:
- Forum games and offtopic conversations or essays
*Remarkably constructive feedback
* Technical help
*Everything else
In the second chapter of my investigation I already posted some links to forum games at XJ, where kafds participated according to the rules. The reason for his affinity to these simple games is still uncharted, I don’t know it. However that be, if you browse through these threads you will realize kafds’ posts are creative and funny and liked by most of the participants.
In contrast to these short and sheepish contributions his long, thoughtful essays exceed everything else that pretends to have a linguistic habitus at XJ. These posts have always been an expression of his vast innovative mind, that needs to release its content before it explodes because of overflow.
It is easy to find numerous examples for the second category. Mostly, his feedback is detailed and complex, he considers all circumstances and his critique is mild and helpful. As a brilliant observer (i.e. lurker) he highlights aspects none else even notices. Here are some ordinary examples.
- kafds reviews a trickjump movie, the maker is thankful
*kafds reviews an unusual scout movie. He uploaded it himself to share it with others
*kafds reviews another trickjump movie; his mild mood is really obvious here
For the third category kafds benefits from his incredible knowledge. In Chapter 4 of my study we will take a closer look at that, for now, some examples need to be enough.
- kafds gives professional hardware consulting free of charge
*kafds gives friendly advice how to use illegal CS
*kafds explains further functions of XJ’s website
The last category, category four, involves all other topics. I could list an endless amount of examples, but since this is just about an overview, here are some.
- kafds contributes to a encyclopaedical thread about the kreedz history and adds additional information
*kafds reveals the beginning of his career
*kafds takes part in a pointless hitlist thread
All vigilant readers already noticed the variety of themes, where kafds has something to say. There was no forum section, where he didn’t take part. Every forum theoretician knows, that one post leads to another one. The members of an active forum encourage themselves, it is like a concluded circle of cogwheels.
The ban of kafds created a big hole none else could fulfill; the engine of XJ’s forum has been removed. In a study the 97’s Club made, they found out that 21 of 100 people lost the interest in XJ’s website after his ban. 37% of these 21 people completely lost the interest in kreedzing. At the same time they analyzed the effects on the forum. Their result is alarming.
This is shocking!
Furthermore, the faculty for English language at 97’s Club found out, that the average quality of written language at XJ decreased heavily after kafds’ ban.
For most specialists it has been evident, that the downfall of XJ is a direct cause of kafds’ ban. Now don’t say none saw this coming, we did, but none listened to us. We told you, yes, we told you.
Kafds’ function as a motor is seemingly obvious now, as a little intermission I want to hint at other productive inputs from him. For example, he worked for XJ as a journalist and wrote magnificent parts of XJ’s weeklies. Here is an example of a fabulous weekly, that shows his pristine passion for the game and its community.
This is an example
Of course all of his tracts have been abstract and a certain type of approach was needed to appreciate the outcome, but kafds always wanted to feed the hunger of all intellectuals at XJ, he was pure jest for the upper class.
His collection of kreedz movies at his youtube channel is another appreciated effort he made. None else offers such a wide variety of kreedz media like kafds does; many people profit from that.
Chapter 4: Personality of kafds
We already proved, that the banning reason is insufficient and does not match the reality. A man in charge ones told me, “kafds has been banned, because XJ does not want such people to abuse their site.†In this chapter I will prove that kafds is far away from being a bad, evil or any other negative character. On the contrary, I claim kafds is ethically an ideal character.
The first approval for my assertion can be found in chapter 3. If you go through the categories of his forum posts, you realize that two entire categories (feedback and technical help) are just about helping someone else, it is sheer altruism. All of these posts reveal kafds’ social basis and his unruly ability of empathy.
Classical threads, kafds started, may serve me now for my argumentation.
These threads show kafds psychological and medicinal virtues and how he uses them to do good. When kafds was still among us, XJ was a place, where you could find help and protection in awful times. A place, that spread warmth and dignity in disgraceful times. That was kafds’ merit. But he is gone.
His social character is only one of his amenities though. Let us not forget about his knowledge. Kafds is the only person on this planet, who visits every kreedz site there is on a daily basis. You all know the final implementation of a wiki failed, because we can just ask kafds. He can recite the whole chronology of XJ’s history without any preparation, if he wants to.
You need to think of kafds as a charming, successful and social expert, who is willing to share his professional knowledge with anyone and without demanding anything in return.
Chapter 5: Epilogue
I could elaborate every chapter way more and prove what I said with multiple sources; but isn’t the truth evident in this case? They banned an innocent idol and we did not interfere, we let it happen, we did not stand up. Before I formulate my final announcement, we need to take a look at kafds’ personal relationship towards XJ.
“I helped people improve their English grammar and widened their scarce vocabularies. By helping others with my extreme talents I became a lot more confident about my writings. Xtreme-Jumps itself may not have given me much (except my life), but jumping itself has. XJ has brought it out a bit, and indirectly it has helped me meet people who have become my family members.“(Source)
Once again it is remarkable how accurate kafds rates his own impact on XJ; but what did he say about a family and his life? We disconnected him, we removed him from his spring of happiness, we banned him. We destroyed his family and his life.
Since kafds is obviously innocent, I claim indemnification and an appropriate compensation for all that sorrow and pain he had to go through, besides an instant unban. Infinite VIP Gold or all that money gathered from donations would be a nice start. Moreover, to prevent false accusations in the future, I demand immunity for that poor guy or just make him new CEO.
This is some kind of a petition, so if you completely agree 100%, just say yes.
Nice post. I was happy to see my movie mentioned as well. I believe that kafds should be unbanned because he is one of those people who just cheer people up. He has been very helpful in the past as well. One vote for kafds from me ! YEAH go finland. the more finnish people we have here the better

So, guys, how do u think, HE wanna get unban?
Why he didnt write unban, why he didnt do anything for get to unban?
For example, Avatar and NAPZ wrote this and soon they was unbanned, isnt it?
Odealo had a chance to get unban, but he didnt do anything for this
So what did Kafds? Multiaccounts?

Dunno what about you , but i've managed that kafds is not such a person who will do like napz or avatar. He's kinda unique ,and he's higher than all this. Or i mistaken ?
