Journal chainrust's Journal: Banned! 2
I was banned for two days after my account was created due to a couple little anonymous trolls. Mysteriously, after I reported the bug on SourceForge the ban was lifted, but not before CmdrTaco closed the bug and had a chance to say I was full of shit. Anyways, research during my ban has helped me to create a basic posting policy. Here it is:
The Basic Posting Policy Everyone Should Follow
1. Never reply to an anonymous coward who doesn't sign their post
2. Always reply to comments in your journal
3. Always reply to your friends journals
4. Always post old comments from previous articles in order to karma whore. Links posts are harder to write, and easier to be caught copying and pasting from Google or other suckier search engines.
On a sadder note, one of the great old trolls, Anonymous Pancake, has left. After sdem's little scandal a couple months ago, then this, we have lost two of the leaders in trolling. I can only hope AP's retirement is actually just 'trolling of the trolls'. It appears various wankers and many possibly different anonymous cowards may have caused this retirement. With all the disappearing trolls over the last couple months, one must wonder: Does Mr. Malda have ties to the CIA ?
Anyhow, that's enough writing for a week.

Your bio says "This account is an experiment into trolling"...
any particular reason you think I should help you?
You've been upmodded 3 times today, which means your karma is
positive, which means you don't need my help;
as long as you don't check the Post Anonymously checkbox you'll ignore any
IP-based timeout restriction.
