What do we all think of [linkspam redacted], then? A little bit of mischievious fun or a scathing critique?

Oh look, it's the troll who posted this to a drama board and promptly got indefblocked by me for their trouble. Run along back to /b/ or whatever hole it is you crawled out of.

Je ne comprends pas! I don't even know what a 'drama board' or a 'b' is so I definitely haven't posted it to one of those things! It's just something I found.

If you don't know what a drama board is, you probably don't understand what you read then posted here as a link.

Boring.

There's nothing to read - it's an audio file by someone who is essentially admitting to being a Wikipedia vandal. I am sceptical of his authenticity but it proves a point about the anarchy of a system which allows people to do more or less anything and to do it more or less anonymously. I may be au fait with the idea of a drama board (depending on what it actually is, of course) but I am not familiar with the term itself.

Bullshit.

Can the WO mods please not give this person a fresh space for this? Thanks.

"Spotty virginal men eating a pizza". There is some truth to that, but not as much as is commonly believed. The REAL Wikipedia insiders tend to be over 40 and have careers and families. (Some of them are bugfuck raving twitching insane, but that's just a "bonus feature".)

Wikipedia's FANS lean more toward the "spotty virginal men" area. It is deeply loved by millions of high-school and college boys. Some girls too, but not so many today, given how stupidly misogynistic those boys often are. Like the twat who posted this audio file. Mutter mutter, nothing really to say.

New member 'my two pence' has won a free membership in an elite Wikipediocracy group.

Sadly, this membership will ensure he is too occupied with the duties of his new position to post further here.
