This is a question B3ta Person of the Year 2010

Instead of Time person of the year, who's B3ta's and why? (Thanks to Elliot Reuben for the suggestion.)

Obsession?

Nah. I rarely post on QOTW week these days - look at my recent postings - weeks go by where I don't bother.

But, occasionally, I like to kick the ants, troll the trolls. Badger and his merry men have successfully trolled the fuck out of QOTW and ruined it for many of the regulars. The mods have done the square root of fuck-all to stop it and so a load of regular, quality posters have fucked off.I think QOTW is poorer for it.

So no. No obsession here. But I do enjoy ripping the piss out of the Trolls and watch them scurry every once in a while.

Cheers

Subtext - badger made me look a bit stupid once, I don't post as often

I read into it, thin skinned internet users get upset at person pointing out their nonsense as nonsense.

Terrible trolling, really

Hehe, more like
There was once a group of people who had a flair for writing and lots of stories, who the more they won QOTW, the more the only comments their stories would attract would be those of jealous, bitter types, feeding off each others enthusiasm for hating these posters and trying to out do each other in vitriol. After many, many weeks it got boring and they left.

It's a real shame. I like a good story.

This is why QOTW needs to go comment-free.
The attention seeking, group therapy wankers wouldn't get their validation and the good stuff would stand up on its own merits.

I don't think they have ruined it
it's not what it was sure, but that's not down to the trolls. It's not down to the mods to do anything, they aren't babysitters, this isn't mumsnet. But if people cross the line they get banned.

The root of my point is that posts like yours up there aren't trolling the trolls, it is feeding them, and in a feeble way at that.

I have nothing against you, I've very much enjoyed your stuff in the past. I don't tend to care if stories are made up or whatever (or embellished as I suspect yours were) but seeing a lot of posts along the lines of yours up there^ each week is what is damaging QOTW for me.

If the mods were to do anything to improve this place,
which they don't need to, but if they were, it'd be to ban Legless and all the other obssessive needy pricks who piss and moan every time someone takes the piss a bit.

You Mean
ban me for taking the piss?

BTW - You can't take the piss out of shite. Fact.

You do manage an awful lot of sweaty-fisted angergrams when you get riled up - any thread featuring you is likely to be at least 60% tedious, alarmingly-stupid drivel.

But of course, what better way to bemoan the ubiquity of moaning on QOTW, than delivering said moan via the medium of moaning on QOTW?

'LOLOLOLOL You fell for it I was trolling all along hahahaha!
I stopped posting because the site is shit, not because I can't maintain the web of lies any longer.'

Followed by

'WAAAAAAA The mods are letting the site run properly WAAAAAAAAAAA.'

Yes, you've certainly succeeded in some top notch trolling, here.
Without a doubt.
