also, the fact that they managed to post a little before they were killed, made it all so much better and more enjoyable.

we need a banning of a 15000+ posts member soon.

 

[Popmartijn]

Yesh I preempted them.

 

[Sicy]

One of them had posted a thread in fan experiences saying that Bono gave him the sweater off his back


Bono doesnt even wear sweaters to concerts

 

[Blue Room]

Interesting. As a former semi Van Halen fan I'm curious what board it was. Can someone PM the name or link? thanks

Yesh I preempted them.

I love that they apparently had no clue Sicy was on to them.

 

[Sicy]

I got lucky.

 

[tpsreports2424]

should we fight back

 

[U2Girl1978]

Bye bye lame-o's. What a bunch of idiots!

 

[U2Girl1978]

should we fight back

No.

 

[indra]

I got lucky.

Still it was absolutely beautiful!

link pls

 

[tpsreports2424]

No.

It was a joke...

 

[Sicy]

No forum wars please.

We are bigger people than them.

 

[Sicy]

link pls

Sorry, its in the private mod forum now.

I would expect that kind of response from you.




I have checked it out and knowing where it came from it doesnt surprise me one bit. The board is even known by alot of VH fans as just being plain nasty. What do you expect from a forum that has a moderator that plans this type of thing?

lighten up.

Yeah that really surprised me. I usually contact the boards' admin when we have a problem like this but in this case I was like ....shit what's the point.

 

[U2Man]

you should organize a counter-attack

 

[U2Girl1978]

you should organize a counter-attack

So we could stoop to their level?

 

[U2Man]

its better to fight them in their own country than in our cities.

 

[Sicy]

Absolutely not. This is why I didnt want to post about it.
And why I probably wont in the future.

From the FAQs

Trolling: Intentionally disrupting a forum by posting obviously inaccurate or inflammatory information and/or hoping to get a rise out of people. The perpetrators are known as "trolls". This also may also apply to our members who decide to 'troll' other forums. Should this lead to problems on OUR forum because of it, you may be banned.

 

[bonoishot]

7 bannings.

Well done Sicy.

You'd think these trolls would have better things to do.

but if a mod organized it, it wouldnt be against the faq

I think most of us are just so thrilled to have a fun banning (as opposed to one of the rather more mundane spammer bannings) that we are offering spoof scenarios.

In this case what would be the point of retaliation anyway? That board is a crapfest already -- nothing anyone else could do would make it any more stupid.

 

[adrball]

I love the idea that Sicy was performing undercover surveillance.

 

[zoney!]

That is probably the dorkiest message board idea of all time.

INdeed...but nothing new.

I remember a bunch of us joining one of the Coldplay forums when Interference was down for a couple of days.

Forum wars are lame...and common.

I think they have under-estimated the intelligence of our mod(s).

 

[~BrightestStar~]

fun bannings

We are bigger people than them.

If we're bigger than them, shouldn't that make it easier for us to step on them?


Ooo! Or squish their heads with our fingers?

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I thought the sock war was funny.

Was that the sock war??

 

[phillyfan26]

I have no idea what is going on.
