Oh LOL My experment, it WORKED!!!

Uhh, some if you may think twice about me after this XDD;;; -runs-

Anyway, I've been in the Tales Forums, AC Forums, some other forums for a long while now (3-4 years?), and everyone knows how I am there: post my opinions, silent about other fights there, just shrug off whatever's happening, etc. You know me, I'm neutral XD.

Aaaanyway, we all know there are a lot of sarcastic and negative people in these forums (not mentioning who), and I noticed, with the Tales Forums being a forum targeting the Western side of the world (and AC too, I think, even if I'm the one running that even though I'm from the Phils), sarcastic remarks are usually just seen as normal posts, or ignored.

So, I did a little experiment. The Western audiences are pretty much adept at accepting sarcastic remarks, so I wondered... how about my fellow Filipinos? Are they able to accept sarcastic and negative remarks without making such a WHOA MAN big deal about it? Well, let's see!

I did this little experiment in my actual school's forum. LOL YES my school's forum xD. I don't know why, but I had no other forums to test it out on (without making a bad reputation lol), and to be honest, it's my school's forum (like, more than half of the school population don't even know it exists... much less make a forum WORK). And I needed a Filipino forum to test this out on.

How did I test it out? I joined the forum (I think this is my second account, 'cause the first one I forgot the password and such), and then what...? I acted like a total jerk. Like, every post I saw there, regardless of content, I replied with negative or sarcastic remarks.

RESULTS:
OK, at first, I thought the Filipino forum members are the same as, let's say, the Tales Forums. My posts were either ignored or replied to normally. This went on for a few weeks (3, I think).
I was going to mark it off as a failed experiment, but then this one guy replied in an attacking manner, though the problem with his reply is that he replied to one of my "normal" posts, not my negative ones. Hrm, that guy didn't really reply back, so crossed out.
And I went MIA from the forums for a while, because I was dead bored, and had better things to do, like AC's ver3 (and Apollo Justice xD).
When I came back however, I see this. As I saw this, I was ecstatic! My experiment worked xD!! Someone finally reacted!

So anyway, I wasn't done just yet. I replied in my usual negative manner. I made a long post which was intended to make someone go tl;dr, and indeed, the poster probably went tl;dr on me (if... they actually know what tl;dr is. I noticed in my school forum that some people don't even know what the basic "btw" means).

So, I got my desired results, and I'm done with this experiment. And lol at the guy saying I should act accordingly because this is an "official forum". LOL, compare this forum to the official Tales of Series Forums, this is like a poorly run public forum. I find myself -facepalming- at the number of spammed posts/threads, TxT msseGeS, DOUBLE POSTERS (asadsfdgd) and not to mention WUT posts that the so-called moderators have ignored up until now. I applaud Lunar, Ryuu and Shinryu for their moderating in the Tales Forums, they actually keep everything in order.... up to the point that I actually PM Lunar regularly to ask if I've accumulated any points (the points you get for violating any of the rules, that if they reach a certain amount, you get suspended/banned from the Tales Forums).

... I can be evil sometimes xDDD... -runs-

Well... XD:
LOLJADE

Now if you'll all excuse me, I'm back to my playing FE:Radiant Dawn ♥♥♥~

Parang gumawa ka ng segment portion mo ng 'Yari Ka!' but good job. =))

Marami na akong natatanggap na negative reactions mapa-bahay o mapa-internet and di ko siya siniseryoso, parang grain of salt lang ang ituring ko sa kanila. Bayaan ko sila basta wag silang lalampas sa linya ko kung ayaw nilang magliab ang apoy ko sa kanila. XD

Bilis nilang mag-init ng ulo kung titignan ko siya, atake bigla na walang tamang choice of thoughts and words.

Un ung point ko nga dito xD. Mga post ko parang walang choice of words >_>; -runs-

And sa wakas my nag react. Gumawa pa ng thread tungkol sa mga posts ko -_-; Astig xD.

Parang gusto ko rin gumawa ng experiment sa forums na mino-moderate ko *looks at KHQ* kasi iba akong moderato;, wala akong pinapanigan sa kanila pag nag-aaway, di ako nag-nonotify ng mga nawawalang threads na tinatapon ko sa trash bin thread namin tapos...yun lang.

Flaming minsan roon allowed pero once na locked na siya, awat na. *evil mod* Doon rin pag may n00b na nagpost, may mga papanggap ng flamers na sisipsip na parang linta. >__>

Wala rin akong ban hammer sa forums na iyon, zap hammer lang. D:

that 'anti' guy means srs business, i mean, creating a thread just for you? lol

tbh, i agree to the fact that you don't have to please anybody when you're in a forums, i mean, forums are created for sharing your own thoughts and opinions, it's not really made for sweet talks and such. and also,

Eto problema dito sa Pinas >_>. Wala nang alam gawin ang mga tao kundi Friendster, Multiply, YouTube, at pang Google ng assignment na malamang kukunin lang sa Wikipedia (which BTW can be very unreliable at times) icocopy paste lang at minsan hindi man lang tatanggalin ung mga links, refer to "put word here" or yung citation numbers >__>.

HOLY OZ BEZARIUS, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN ON EXPLAINING HOW RIGHT THIS IS.
Most people nowadays thinks Friendster is the only thing to do on the web, though I admit that I do have a Friendster myself (obv..), I don't go spending my whole time on it DX Also, about that copy-pasta stuff about Wikipedia, it's disappointing how people can't even devote a teeny bit of time deleting the hyperlinks and such. Don't they even know that it exposes the fact that they just copied the whole article literally. .___.

Don't take the internet too seriously .___. It'll just drag you in D=....

this ftw!

k, lol.

Yah, coz the interwebz is srs bznz nowadays X_X...

And lol, I remember this one time when we passed a report, and my prof was lol'ing so much because like, 5 or so of my classmates passed the exact same paper xDDDDDD (lol wikipedia).

Wow, you read my whole tl;dr post! -hugs-
4th-May-2009 06:12 pm (UTC)
taking the intarwebs srsly will get you pwned fo sho'

minsanan ako kumukuha ng mga articles sa wiki pero minsan sa mga matitinong sites na gawa nila...

naalala ko tuloy rin yung sa Psychology assignment ko, copy-paste yung ibang sagot pero di naman nalaman kasi yung ibang salita pinapalitan ko XD

and yes, you cannot please anyone by one's post. Pag ayaw, ayaw talaga with matching IHU. D:

I regret to say I only understood 20-40% of that thread, but yeah -- I know that even I make really risky remarks sometimes, but I like the debate that springs forth from it. I ~try~ my best not to step on too many toes, but sometimes I'm just in the mood for some bloodshed. Sorta like your experiment there~

Best way to win an argument: tl;dr the b**tards to death!

FFFT this reminds me of how much of a failure I am at modding...then again, AC is relatively low-maintenance on the modding side.
