Ah yea that’s a lot of fun, it’s also fun to pick a thread where people are really passionately arguing but remaining somewhat civil and then picking one side and just downvoting them...it can really make the sparks fly with some people.

and then one of them accuses the other of downvoting all his posts. And the guy denies it but every post has exactly 1 downvote so he still thinks he's downvoting.


All the while you're sitting there being the one downvote and laughing

I've accomplished something similar simply by making a large number of ban bets and welching on all of them. Toss in some plausible deniability and everyone thinks that any random new person is either a BoarEd or PIO alter.

If anything bad happens it's one of them damn Razorback fans! I don't think those frickers even care about sports! They're just here to frick with our heads!

One time I made a thread offering to ban bet with any LSU fan that Arkansas would win a game.

It was so damn funny to me. I can't even express to you guys how hard I laughed for how long as LSU fan after LSU fan lined up to ban bet me.

The beauty of it was it was just frickin me. So all they needed was one person to call the bet.

LSU fans don't play poker.

I had like a dozen folks lined up to bet with JUST ME over a single game before the mods shut it down.

Buzzkill moderation right there. The payoff would have been epic.

ETA: Of course Arkansas didn't win the game. So that's when you bring out the obvious alter (non-alter) and act like you don't know shite. Plus, you can always fall back on the fact that the moderators closed the thread down anyways so it wasn't a legitimate bet.

(This has been a glimpse into the mind of a certified lunatic).

Depends on what I said. If I'm downvoted to hell for saying something I thought was funny then I'm gonna be slightly bummed. I'm a sensitive snowflake. If I'm downvoted to hell because I triggered a bunch of LSU fans then I feel as satisfied as I do after killing a rack of ribs.

Didn't facebook do a study (or found out) that if they trickled the likes over time (instead of delivering them all at once) they could set the hook harder for most folks?

You get paid less with downvotes than upvotes.

I love posts that call out other posters with a ton of upvotes and one downvote.
