Hello, folks! In this thread, I will help you learn how to effectively criticize a message forum. Doing these things will almost certainly lead to a change in the way that your favorite website is administrated.

There are three basic rules:

1. Make your indifference known! Let the members of the forum know that you don't care what they think. Post this multiple times daily if you must. Only when they know how little you care will they realize how cool and aloof you are. This is crucial for making a difference, and is a delightful segue into number 2.

2. Rage against the most popular members. Every forum has popular members, and they are likely the ones that are meanest to you. As in street gangs, the popular posters will often single out one innocent person and attack him or her as an initiation rite. Refer to this group with phrases derived from high school culture, such as "cool kids", "popular clique" and "jocks and cheerleaders". Often, these groups have a de facto leader, from which their followers (or, "minions") get their matching orders. If you can determine who this person is, it is highly effective to target them specifically. If possible, try to parody their name in a humorous manner when referring to them, and, above all else, ignore them entirely. As with rule number 1, you need to make it very clear to them that you are ignoring them and do not care about anything they say. Repeat this as often as necessary to make sure that the leader and all of his or her followers know you don't care what they think or say.

3. Quite simply, melt down. Until the meltdown, no one had heard of Chernobyl. It is the single best method of advertising your cause, because it attracts the eyes of the world. Use words and phrases associated with totalitarian regimes to decry the way your forum of choice is run. Words and phrases associated with George Orwell's "1984" are also very effective. Accuse your enemies of being "Hitlers" or "Fascists", and accuse them of using "Newspeak" and the like. If all else fails, such references are sure to bring others to your cause.

Above all, remember that you are the victim. You have been unfairly targeted. This mindset is the most important for achieving positive results.

I hope this helps!
 
Sophocles just 'killed the messenger'.
It's quick.
It's permanent.
And it's effective.

I realize that newbies that post a such are set upon but how doess being mean, esp if it is arbitrary, lead to becoming popular? It will not make you popular with the target and other posters might notice you are a bit of a loose cannon bully.

Generally I am not too concerned about either attacks or popularity but I can't see how you can attain affection with a sword. Flattery may work a little better actually.
 
I hope she's drunk and feeling vicious when she sees this:)
 
Interesting, Blob. I. usually ignore the meanies. It's amazing how groups of insecure like-minded individuals flourish on a free adult site.

Me right? I'm the most popular member of lit! I believe it. Now everyone can come confirm it.

Popularity meter tells me I'm full of awesome!

That stupid tat on your tit is stupid.
 
Look! Homos!

What am I looking at? Homos? Where? Queersetti and glam back? I liked them.

Back to me being the most popular poster here.

Since you can't prove I'm NOT the most popular poster here, I must be number 1!

Have faith in my number 1ness. Thanks
 
That stupid tat on your tit is stupid.

Is it a tat of a broken dolphin or some kind of drunk seahorse? I can't make that shit out.

BG what is that tat you have on your tit? The saggy one. That actually doesn't narrow it down.
 
Not sure if amazing is the word I would use. Sad seems more accurate.

Considering we're all adults and no longer in high school, it's more amazing to me.

You talk to dizzybooby. Hush.

By dizzybooby, I take it you mean BusyBody, aka fang boy. I'll talk to most people once they show themselves to be more than just a one- or two-dimensional meanie.
