It's not some closed source code that can only be unlocked with sufficient muricanism.
Sarcasm is a uniquely English idea. Sarcasm doesn't really exist in non-Western cultures so some non-Western people might not understand it immediately, particularly without vocal or body cues.
I think the main point was America
≠'The West' -- Hell, 'The USA'≠America is another. Other countries tend to get a bit pissy when compared to 'murica. It's a weight few are able to bare.

This is occasionally true, as in Japan, but China has quite a bit of sarcasm. It varies from culture to culture. There isn't just "eastern culture" and "western culture". it's a big world... with a varied people.

Is that true? Even thought i doubt its true.
Sounds like Davidof9. He's an irritating combination of annoying, tenacious and inept. You're better off banning him as soon as you can.
More annoying then me? :/

As a general rule, someone causing shit and is claiming to be from another server is a 12 year old thinking he's a
master manipulator
and is not at all affiliated with said server.
It's not like we think less of Hippie when Hippieguy shows up and tries to pull some bull. We might do something like OP did and ask the server about it. If nothing but to warn them someone's trying to start shit in their name.

You're being lied to. The charge is actually only $10 and half a cheeseburger, they are trying to make you overpay. I'll sell you the gooncode, and for the other half of the cheeseburger I'll even throw in admin powers. I can do this because I am a master hacker.

I once met a guy outside of a bar who said he had the source code for Goonstation and that he'd release it if I didn't give him my wallet. I like to think that I've helped keep this server secure, every little bit helps, right?
