The Dink Network

Spamming a forum turning you on?

...

Wow... I fell really sorry for you man. Mentally disordered? Get out more.

Even worse... Someone's getting off on it...

Ah, well... Just don't watch deleted messages and everything's fine. As the saying goes: Don't feed the troll. Though I really don't want to know this one's diet...

I never have that option on, I rely on the moderators' judgement about these things.

Turned deleted messages on just to see what was going on.

It's tough feeding such a bad troll like Skorn, therefore, I know this won't count and spamming as an answer proves nothing.

It's sad that people actually pay serious attention to him. He ain't even a proper troll. Just a kid with problems.

I never have that option on, I rely on the moderators' judgement about these things.

I used to have it on, because I didn't like to miss anything, but after the forum got flooded with topics the other day, I've left it off for the most part. It's amazing how much more calm and reasonable things are without the deleted messages.

I kno, it's fun watching him though.

Why exactly did he turn like this? He did behave for a while.

His girlfriend moved away a while ago. This is him lashing out.

I changed the userscript that was floating around here a while ago to hide Skorn's posts, so I haven't seen any of his spam for a while. If anyone is interested just say so.

So.

Alright. If you use Firefox, make sure you have Greasemonkey and you can install it here. If you use Chrome download Tampermonkey to create a new script with the below contents. There is an error with viewing deleted messages because the alignment message up, but if you really want to see all the deleted messages that aren't Skorn's you can disable the script while you look. Keep in mind that all credit goes to YeOldeToast and Dinkulum, but Toast's link is down.

His girlfriend moved away a while ago. This is him lashing out.

You misunderstood. I said that I get this way on weekends and every afternoon because she lives so far away. She hasn't moved, it's always been this way.

Stay tuned for more spam!

Ah. You're still lashing out because she lives far away. Are you being pissy in person too? Your reach is diminished when your chain is stretched. Best idea, don't date online. Good idea, talk to her more often. Okay idea, talk to her a bit more.

I don't date online, it's ducking lazy.

Hey, Skorn. There's a troll on a site I moderate, maybe you can ask him for tips and direct the fire away from those who are actually trying to enjoy the forum. God knows he's getting annoying.
*Warning* This is not sound advice and will most likely result in links to yiff, porn, and other things.

Should show Skorn's posts in here to his girlfriend, which I'm surprised he has. I'm sure she would love to see the super-mature behaviour he is showing here.

EDIT: Thanks Pillbug.

Edit: <cencour>

Actually, the sad part is that Tal and Redink1 have totally abandoned this site, without first giving the staff members greater administrative muscles

Already have told her what I do here. She couldn't care less about a site she knows nothing of and never visits.

Agreed. They can't be *that* busy so one of them couldn't check out this site at least once a year. But hating on them won't resolve the problem, if they've decided they're not coming back. It's about time people here stop she doging and actually stand up and do something about it themselves. For example, this TDN post hider thing Pillbug linked to is pretty great. It's better to spend 3 minutes to download it, instead of spending the rest of your time here looking at spam.

It would be fair towards Scratcher too. Most of you don't know or don't appreciate how hard he actually works to keep this forum clean. If everybody got The Dink Network post hider (himself included), Scratcher wouldn't have to be so concerned about having to instantly remove all the spam, and he could actually, for once, enjoy the forum without unnecessary BS.

Except that new people who haven't heard of the hider script would still see all the spam.

First get the hider script, then worry about newcomers. It's as simple as explaining them how to get it. If they don't want to get the post hider, then that's their problem. In fact, that's what I'm telling you right now. The post hider makes everything easier. Everybody can decide whether they want to get it or not, but people shouldn't she dog about the spam if they themselves aren't willing to do the simple, possible things that would make things easier.

Solution, make a new sticky and tell newbies that it will protect them.

A girlfriend that cares nothing about the DN deserves to be dumped.

Yes, because a girl must like Dink Smallwood to be worthy of love right?

Your standards are wayyyyy to high it seems.

And yours tend to dwell among the coral in the sea, Skorn.

Coming from you, Skorn, that insult means nothing. Spamming a forum, insulting people, insulting a minority, what is all of this, but the tantrum of a child who can see naught beyond his own nose.

It is quite hard to see past that thing, yes. It takes up a vast portion indeed.

There once was a man from madrass, whose balls were made out of brass. When he'd bang then together they'd play stormy weather and lightning would shoot from his arse.

KrisKnox's last three posts prove my point.

This thread further proves that Skorn was a lunatic and deserved being smote by the God of Towel Rags.

Seriously, everything Skorn said in this thread was dumb.
