Famous Trolls

The falsehoods about Parkland students come even after the technology giants have tried to tamp down disinformation campaigns by hiring thousands of moderators, changing the algorithms that surface information and enacting stricter policies. The Parkland flare-up underscores how efforts to quell the spread of such online conspiracies remain incomplete on platforms that derive profits by attracting eyeballs en masse.
The incident has also highlighted how nobody — even a group of teens just days removed from seeing their fellow students gunned down — is off limits in the no-holds-barred world of online commentary, with its often-toxic mix of rumor, innuendo and unrefuted accusation.
The president’s son Donald Trump Jr. was among the many people who “liked” a tweet criticizing Hogg. On YouTube, a video featuring one conspiracy theory reached the top of the service’s “Trending” clips list and was viewed more than 200,000 times before the company admitted that its filtering of news had not functioned as intended and it blocked the video. A search for Hogg’s name on YouTube on Wednesday turned up eight conspiracy videos and only two legitimate news reports in a top-10 listing before YouTube intervened.

^^^"As for the video @NeverBeenTimid pointed to -- that was posted (on YouTube) on January 1st, 2018. (That's like 3 months ago. Why is someone whining and complaining now?)"

You neglected to state NeverBeenTimid created the video.

That's like 1 month 19 days ago. Posted on utube ...not on a chess site.

Things that are NOT funny.
The video in post # 8 ... insulting a professional chess player in an attempt to discredit.
Videos (using photoshop to distort images) that mock disabled chess players.
Yo mama jokes ... they went out a decade ago. Insulting woman is not funny. The audience gives out a groan after every failed attempt at insulting mothers.
Posting of gay porn, not a few times, but 100's of times over a couple of months on a family chess website.
Multi-accounting, one account playing the victim, given the "excuse" to rant racial and discriminatory insults at the other account (same person) who is taunting with similar attacks.

There is no place for these "activities" in the chess forums. If someone thinks these activities are "funny" then they should go to one of MrCharles stand-ups, where insulting, mocking and harassment is seen as "funny." There are people out there who easily see through the coy attempt to disguise these disrespectful actions as "humor". The intent, when it is forever repeated, is clear.
please refrain from trolling/spamming this thread mdinnerspace. you're giving everybody a headache with those unreadable texts.

First, for the record: I try to do improv at comedy clubs in LA at least once a month (lotteries sometimes suck -- sometimes I have to go 2 months between insulting and harassing bystanders). Like some people do karaoke or bad acting and drama, I like doing improv comedy to relieve stress. And I've been kicked out of at least one club for violating the "PG-13" policy. (Don Tjernagel is one of my hero's.)

There is a reason Don Rickles was funny and you are not. He helped make the one-liner famous. A jab here, an quick insult there, no malice, made fun of everything and everybody.
Your "brand" of humor is not funny because there is obvious malice behind it. You enjoy putting down people. It is painfully repetitive, no originality. Your entire "gig" is a childish act of thinking you are superior with the insults and harassment you're so proud to display. Stuck in the "Yo Mama" joke phase that teens go through. Do you supply tomatoes for your audience (if you call 3 people an audience) with you as the target? I suspect the only audience you have is by trolling internet forums with your insults. Insult is the wrong term. You have made a half dozen "dissertations" here arguing over a single point. Your support of Timid and your dislike of myself for expressing my dislike of his disrespect. Your stance on his video as "funny" says all we need to know. Telling me to stick a Bishop up my a**, whoa ! the audience goes into hysterics. I bet you hired a joke writer for that one. I mean, the originality of combining a chess piece and someone's anus in the same joke is surprising coming from you.

You are nothing but a Hinderhole no malice just fact
@mdinnerspace Why are you bringing up that pig crisis actor?

Washington Post is a faulty source btw.

What if I told you that the "MASS SHOOTINGS" that happened in the past couple of years especially those that were heavily broadcasted through mainstream media were masterminded by the new world order run police and intelligence agencies using paid "crisis actors" in order to introduce Anti Gun Laws designed to disarm the Americans so that they would be too helpless to resist the coming horror of the NWO which is aimed at enslaving humanity and ending Freedom as we know it
So the NWO "master minded the mass shootings", brainwashed the murderers into doing their bidding, all in order to take away your guns ?
I've heard of conspiracy theories, but this is the ranting of lunatics.

Calling students who stand up for decency, pointing out the ills of society .... "Pigs" and "actors"? You and 2Q need a flogging. Sometimes... I just gotta shake my head and realize it's a sorry world to live in for the minds of the disturbed.

Well, at least we have some insight behind the mentality of those who stalk, harass, insult members here. Is it a coincidence that NeverBeenTimid also believes in the NWO ... Is creating these videos aimed at discrediting staff at chess.com with the claim in his video the NWO is spreading homosexuality to harm our children who play chess? Or is it simply his sorry attempt at revenge for being called out and repeatedly banned?

I posted the article because it mimics exactly what is seen here. People stand up for decency and common sense... when out crawls the internet detractors bent on destroying what is good and replacing it with hatred and mistrust. Such are the times.
Wow. A light hearted thread that everyone was enjoying has now been hijacked by @mdinnerspace

mdinnertroll loves to talk about slander/libel but is a hypocrite when it comes to his own posts.

Post #4 of this thread for example. None of those accounts I am responsible for. This is Lichess. Everyone here loves this site and are here to share a laugh and play some chess. You are the only one bringing up nonsense from chess.com that quite frankly nobody cares about. Give it a rest dude and lighten up.

I'm not 100% sure but when I first stumbled across the way to access old email accounts I managed to troll with 4 accounts undetected.

www.chess.com/member/bishod
www.chess.com/member/deimasta
www.chess.com/member/butcher_bill
www.chess.com/member/kissmyteeth

This was incredible trolling if I do say so myself. It was only when I joined the "troll university" on chess.com and confided in Macer who I was that all accounts got deleted almost immediately.

So I did some research. By typing in Macer75 into google and came across this dating profile on www.plentyoffish.com. It had a guy with the same username and he mentioned in his bio he was a Taurus. Macer75 is a pretty unique username, so I knew I was onto something so I posted it on chess.com. Now the dating profile has been removed so I am 99% sure I am right.
NeverBeenTimid can not resist sticking his foot in his mouth !
You have created many accounts here 2Q. You are fooling no one.
The topic is "Famous Trolls". You are being given your just do.

Nobody cares ? I am somebody. And your video that you made in post #8 is slanderous, offensive, disrespectful to the chess community and all players in general. The intent was not "humor." You have made many such videos mocking WGM's, disabled chess players and lately the mocking of a Black ex football player, John Urschel who is trying to become a chess master. You will never change ,despite the promises. I am upset because your disrespect is bringing harm to the chess community. You have a following of "Wannabes" in the Team you started here. They all want to be just like you. Minors, most <16 years of age.

Your "Team" is made up of all ex-members of chesscom who were banned for trolling. The forum is open for anybody to read. In the "chat" new members are told everybody is a troll, nobody plays chess. Some team you got there. A 1000 posts and not one about chess !!!
