Every fucking week
Frankly, I'm surprised Rob would show any support for your fucking archive of wasted time, which, at its heart, undermines a large and active chunk of his website and its loyal (often donating) users. The sheer hypocrisy of promoting stories one week by including them in the newsletter, then shooting them down by endorsing your pathetic witch hunt is baffling to me.

If your wanky list only targeted the truly worthless posts, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but you also shout "failure" at stuff that the rest of the site thinks is pretty good. To use just one example from your contemptible archive, SpankyHanky is a character on a web site; as far as I know, none of us has ever met him in person. The character in those stories is obviously not entirely real and the writer has never stated that *every* story is true (although I'm sure some of them are, some people just lead interesting lives). SpankyHanky's stories are simply a fucking funny diversion from the drudgery of work. That's all they need to be, 'truth' would add nothing to the entertainment factor. Since SpankyHanky arrived, QOTW has been a better place for it as evidenced by the huge number of posts he's got on the 'best of' pages. He's not the only one on your list who doesn't belong there either.

You spectacularly FAIL to see the point of QOTW. It's not a forum for dull accounts of precisely what happened, because the topics usually lack the scope for writing a true story that is also amusing (take note, mods). QOTW is a place to write funny, interesting anecdotal answers to the question. Some are true, some are made up. Why the fuck do you care if the plot comes from Real Life™ or from someone's imagination?

The only important criteria for QOTW should be "is it entertaining?". In that sense, you, not the posters of QOTW, consistently FAIL to deliver anything at all. Worst of all, you seem to be obsessed with creating resentment for a cherished place where bullshit, belly laughs, ridiculous bragging and occasionally, some very amusing truths live quite happily together. Your idiotic crusade is tiresome, pointless and it makes you look like a needy cunt. Too much time spent licking JMG's online balls has wrongly convinced you that you too can be a self-declared arbiter of what is and is not worthy of being accepted. JMG is at least pretty funny, for his sins.

I see what you've done there
I'm based in Tokyo, so you could have said 'CHINKY CUNT CAT' which would have been more amusing, if racially inaccurate.

Do let me know how you get on though.

If you have nothing to say, say nothing.
If the QoTW doesn't apply to you, why give in to the sweaty, nervous need to post something? No-one will think any less of you for it. Chances are they won't even notice.
Don't make up some crap just so you can sit and constantly refresh the page and see if anyone has replied to it going "OMG that's so funneh! you're so cool!"

You're a bunch of needy, self indulgent, whining, emotionally retarded fuckwits (with the exception of "normal" posters) and you all seriously need to stop getting so upset if someone dares to criticize you or tells you to stop telling your filthy, dull lies.

Ps, You're also a cunt.

The flaw in the logic is the part where you tried to connect "waste of time" with my excellent and correct reply above. The volume of /talkhate it has generated is evidence that it was anything but a waste of time.
