What do you offer lollywood? What's your contribution to this community? Or indeed, any community? As well as moderating, Joffa provides a valuable service of curating relevant news for a community who are interested. He does this for no pay and usually no thanks - and then still has to suffer fools like you attacking him for it. What he does has little to no impact on your life and yet you still try to put him down for it. Take a look at yourself mate.

I'd happily have my post count reset at zero, in fact you can use this post to ask KA to make it happen.

Your faux attempt at nonchalance at the wiping out of your pathetic post count is impressive dude.

Don't you feel the slightest twinge of embarassment that a spambot is named after you?

Dear God man, when the end comes & hopefully it won't be for 100 years do you really want to look back to see that this is all you did? This is all you offered to the world?

We're all trying to help you. Log out. For one day. The world will keep turning we all assure you.

You do of course realise that Joffabot 5000 is not me but rather posts generated by 442.

Joffabot needs to be changed to another name, like 442 Article Link.

Someone else posted on here that they liked the entire article posted, because they were selective as to what they found particularly interesting.

I agree.

There is still no attempt to define what a reasonable number of cut and pastes is on a daily/weekly basis for any individual.

Football articles cut and pasted, seem to be a good idea on a football forum for members to discuss.

9) Always get the last word in. Post, post and post again until your opponent gives up replying. Then claim you've won and/or they've "died of embarrassment".

Let me tell all of you a story, it's quite interesting so get your white cat, let it sit on your lap,stroke that pussy, cut the end off & light that Partagas cigar & swirl the XO Hennessey brandy around the snifter & sit right back & let me do the tell.

Once upon a time there was a rather lively forum called The World Game Forum which started according to all reliable reports in approximately 1998 & for a good proportion of it's life serviced the interest of ShokkaRoo's, the forum was nutured & debate was lively & controversial as it followed the trials & tribulations of the national team & the national league such as it was at the time. With the inevitiable doom & demise of the rubbish Effnik Enclave League the forum evolved & changed & a new generation of posters stepped in the breech to take up posting duties & debate with the rise of the new competition commonly referred to worldwide as the Z League & of course there were many topics of discussion to be had regarding the Socceroos.

Fast forward to the 2006 World Cup qualification process & it was approximately this time that a poster called Joffa appeared. Football opinions he had none because his knowledge of football was approximately zero which was a product of nature or nuture take your pick in regards to his country Victorian geography, his total & complete lack of a life & from reliable Melbourne posters his extremely large girth. So large in fact that one day he may have to be forklifted or bobcatted out of his house however I am digressing at this particular time.

Joffa starting posting article after article after article after article after poll after poll after poll after poll without proferring any opinion or comment on the article whatsoever. At first it was widely considered quite a curiousity that such a large amount of football & non football related content was being posted therefore for a while this posting spree was tolerated. What a mistake this was to be on our parts....

As his post count started balooning towards 6 figures the forum as a whole was feeling smothered & quite frankly quite sick of this disturbed no life individual who has zero to offer in terms of actual football discussion however the copy & paste machine had picked up to it's maximum threshhold & was unable to be stopped despite several requests from the entire forum to stop almost to the point of pleading to stop filling the front pages of both the football & non football related forums which total & utter garbage. The guy was an addicted copy & paste machine who didn't stop posting these articles from 6am to Midnight, it was getting beyond the joke. A decision had to be taken.

One day we all sat down & came to an executive order, his post count was to be trimmed so unfortunately for lardo 40,000 posts were wiped out effective immediately. The C&P machine couldn't handle it, couldn't handle any reasonable action to his daily annoyance, couldn't handle any reasonable discussion so subsequently he left the TWGF & came here & started his fucking disgraceful routine over.

Not only did/does fill the front page full of utter drivel. They made him a Moderator. :lol:

It's important that this story was told so that you don't make the same mistake. You must stop him, you must stop his post count ballooning to 7 figures, you must do whatever you can & take positive action to save yourselves. He has nothing else but Cut & Paste, perhaps you can wipe out his post count, perhaps you can help him rejoin society & engage it in a positive manner again.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Committee 33

Is this a series?

Interesting.

Mods, let's see how serious Joffa is about facilitating football discussion through copyright infringement as Decrepit defends him as doing rather than fellating himself over his post count by snipping 60k posts from his tally.

I totally endorse your actions. You have my unqualified support.

The issue of cutting and pasting can be discussed, not a thread designed to vilify individuals.

I maintain many of us cut and paste so that football issues, for purposes of discussion, can be conducted on 442, Australia's most inclusive football forum.

Yet many of us are not criticised for cutting and pasting. I do it whenever I see a useful article or someone off forum sends me an interesting article .

Congratulations. You just took money from Fairfax to put in Haymarkets pocket. For free.


I'm not sure it can be construed as such if it appears on a forum, not the Haymarket website.

Many members cut and paste other articles on 442.

If you have a problem with the principle of this, you probably shouldn't post in response to many of these articles cut and pasted from other sites to 442 forum.
