Are all the other "trolls" banned?

They all told me they were striking. Didn't you get the memo? Oh no... this is awkward.

Well whatever the reason, this has been a good test of the theory that new posters would be flocking to the board once all the "trolls" left. And so far it has failed miserably.

I bet if you went over to TOB and told everyone that Blanch disappeared and will never ever ever come back (fingers crossed) that a bunch of new posters will flock over here. Go try it out Mr. Recruiter!

I like how Herbie declares it a "failure" one week into an experiment after 4 years of bullshit.

Fyi, you have more posts than all the "trolls" combined.
Maybe you and a few others should be running this experiment. Well actually that experiment has been running since the board started. Go on over there and take a good long look at the result.

I love guys that try to insult people for high post counts, yet brag about how long they have been posting on message boards.

Herbie has always been a guy that counts posts. He does it because it means something I guess.

I am more a guy that counts value Dwags. Each post can be value added or value destruction. I saw Moose posting today on tRCMB and he was +5 but flagged for moderation. We know he was banned here.
Some guy posts 45,000 times that doesn't mean shit if he said nothing and tried to kill discussion. And I am not pointing the finger at you Dwags. Your posts have a surprisingly high value for the post count.

You're way overthinking a message board, but, whatevs. Enjoy the evening.

it's kinda like the people who whine about repetitive posts.. aren't repetitive posts the cornerstone of any message board?

Can I get a breakdown on the Herbie Post Value Meter? Highest to lowest? I'm intrigued.

One is ten times more likely to have read a post by someone with 50,000 posts than one with 5,000. Or one would be expected to read ten times the number of posts.

Herbie, do you honestly not see that Moose is one of the biggest trolls in ages?
He was +5, do you mean he had a rating of 5? That is not even one star.
Your scale is definitely tilted towards biases/favoritism.

I don't think you're a troll, Herbie. I think you're just trying to suck up to the big boys like Blanch and Tanner, you try to stir the pot but it ends up kinda just sitting there, like the stove was never really turned on.
I'm just surprised at how you think these guys really contributed discussion, and they were insulting posters left and right, something you accuse others (non-trolls) of doing yet ignore their antics for some odd reason.

Or it's just pretty easy to read all new posts on a five minute dump twice a day on a toilet. If you do lunch at your desk and have 45-60 minutes and you're a Spartan and want to keep up with all things MSU it's easy. This post took 20 seconds. Some take five
If you're a slow reader and even slower thinker/Typer I can see you might be intrigued by numbers.

In theory, the +1, -1 system from 247 is the best. But it doesn't work because the ratings seem to get based more on the popularity (pro Spartan) of the message or the poster.
Say Vlad makes a post, it would automatically get downvoted or here he would be personally attacked with profanity. Yet quite often the post would generate 3 pages of good discussion. That is why he is the highest rated poster on a value added system. Those that reply "go f*** yourself Vlad the vag" get a -1 because the only thing it can lead to is more juvenile insults. This is why I have Death Roe on ignore, effectively turning him into a zero value poster rather than allowing him to destroy board value.

You do realize Vlad insults people first a lot of the time, right?
I haven't responded to a post of his in months, but keep making up more tales, Herbster.
Love you, pal.
Never forget who advertised the Swill on College Gameday. That was more important to this board (and more creative) than anything Blanch or Tanner added, along with you, too.

Re: Are all the other "trolls" banned?
No, it rarely led to good discussion. It would lead to fighting and name calling by both sides, which is exactly what Vlad or whoever would intend when trolling.Herbie Green wrote:Watch Out Pylon! wrote:

So wait, he seriously hasn't PM'd you or anything to let you know he was leaving? That must hurt. It's obvious the man crush you have on him. I'm sure he's still lurking, reading your fellating of him, though, so you can rest easy knowing that he's somewhere watching over you.

I doubt he is reading this. He is a poster not a lurker

You know, I think Bob is actually right. Assuming a "repetitive poster" is the same thing as a "troll" or an "idiot". They are the lifeblood of a message board.
I noticed Nigel and Duffy on the RCMB arguing with some dude named SpartyPants. It doesn't matter how idiotic the exchanges are they just can't stop. tSwill is dead without the "trolls"so they will just go elsewhere to find action.

Duffy's whole existence revolves around arguing with trolls. No surprise he hasn't posted here lately. How much do you miss Blanch?
