Occupy Yahoo Answers

At this point on, I'm going to recommend that you be an ass on Yahoo Answers as much as possible.

If you use this site much, you all know me as the Top Reporter that every troll loves to hate.

Well I've had quite a change of heart. Although I still do a lot of the same things I did before like give decent answers only to vote myself as best answer because of my over sized ego, I've been doing my fair share of trolling as well. I'm in a state of rebellion. I remember when I was a little boy, I my parents did not always give me what I want in which I would throw a fit and cry.

I'm starting a new movement: Occupy Yahoo Answers. Yahoo Staff are all powerful, and they set a lot of policies and restrictions on the site which so many people disagree with. Yahoo Staff hates trolls yet they tolerate so much trolling because they're a bunch of slackers. It has long been a hobby to bust trolls, but to some extent I'm willing to side with many of them because they keep things interesting, and because they're against Yahoo Staff.

we are the 99%, we are very diverse, and Yahoo staff are the 1% and they are greedy, lazy, corporate scum who don't know what hard times are. They have no empathy. I am on the Yahoo Staff team myself, but I'm like a fallen angel since on my own time I like to do some trolling and make the job more stressful for my fellow team members.

I was a DJ at one of my coworkers weddings a few weeks (for my Y!A job) and I decided take a piss in the bride's martini. It was a great prank to play and the groom was shocked that I would do such a thing. Oh well, fuck those bitches.

Scroll trolls on Yahoo Answers

Ever since the birth of yahoo answers back in 2005, I've been a big fan and user of it. I've also pondered time and again ways that it could become a better service and help eliminate trolls. One troll that could programatically be eliminated from Yahoo Answers would be the scroll trolls. They rely on tons and tons of space to post a bunch of garbage and you have to scroll down their entire "answer" to see what the next answer is.

So, what would be a good way to motivate Yahoo into doing some programming to not allow responses with a bunch of white space or other nonsense for the sake of taking up space? They don't listen to what other users suggest to them. They a bunch of lazy people who do minimal amounts of work to keep the service up and running. If only they would put ME in charge!

This would make a great news headline:

Terry Funk, AKA I DJ Weddings on Yahoo Answers, turns down an offer to become President of the United States so that he could instead by President and CEO of Y!A.

OK, back to what I was talking about. What would be a good way to get those lazy website developers of yahoo to put in some code to stop the scroll trolls? Become a scroll troll! That's right. Here's a little canned message I put as answers to help get the word out:

.








Yahoo Answers tolerates scroll trolls by allowing you to have a lot of white space inside of your answer when they could easily eliminate this problem programmatically. Yahoo is lazy.







.



Picture a lot more white space, I was only trying to get the point across in this blog post.

As it turns out, trolling is actually kind of fun. I've never trolled before this. But this is an exception, and I'll continue to oppose trolls as long as I'm alive.
