So, do you have to be logged in to do this?

Because this is retarded on Fast Eddie's behalf.

I just tested it. No, you don't have to be logged in. You can see a majority of the whole message just by running the search terms for the Mod Jabberings forum.

I expected idiocy like this from Fast Eddie, but I'm surprised that the newer (and somewhat more competent) admins didn't bother to fix the security exploit.

Hell, it can't even be called an exploit, because anyone can do it with only a search term and a forum, regardless if they have an account or not.

Holy shit... If you don't have to be logged in, then it's going to be simple to scrape this entire archive with a web crawler.

Their DeviantART drinking game is surprisingly funny because it's accurate. I'm surprised it hasn't been deleted for being mean to the poor artists who are just trying to share their creations with the world.

If I were to guess, this had to have been made in the pre-SJW era of TV Tropes since a lot of the older Wiki pages used to be kinda witty and would often have snarky pages like this. It became a lot less common after the hentai purge in 2012 but it was still there.

The weird thing was that despite the autism and stupidity of TV Tropes, the Wiki and the Forum used to be practically separate entities of each other before the "Second Google Incident" and even with the degeneracy and power-leveling of the more infamous pages, a lot of the old TV Tropes wiki was entertaining and fun.

The Wiki was autistic and spergy, but it'd be good to read if you were bored on a slow Tuesday afternoon or something and wanted to pass the time. You still see that vibe in older articles that were forgotten about or otherwise seen as low-priority in the "Current Year" culture wars BS of the site's later years.

I kinda have a theory that Fast Eddie's porn purges in 2012 ironically did more to make the site worse in the long run since it both set a precedent for the SJW mindset of the Fighteer era and for some reason, the forum and wiki culture became increasingly intertwined as time went on following those purges and policy changes. Before, I think the worst aspects of the forum at the time only crossed over into the wiki section when it came to the topics that ended up getting purged and those articles ended up being a de facto unintentional containment zone.

Just took a casual look at his user page. Holy hell, I didn't even realize this autism had happened. Kind of a shame really, I always thought he was one of the more interesting posters. Too bad he couldn't help but spill his spaghetti everywhere.

Yeah, he was going through some IRL drama and his annual hazing was too much for him.

There's a fucking My Little Pony mention on that page. Of all fucking pages!

And a lot of "snarky" snide remarks in parentheses. It's like a virus.

I think the conduct of cops in the field has been to a greater extent influenced by the War on terror and the 'worst case scenario' mentality that has prevailed unfortunately in major police departments since 9/11.Like it or not but police work since 9/11 has become to a far greater extent focused on pre-crime basically catch them before they do something bad oftentimes based on flimsy or 'manufactured' evidence.Like it or not but police work has become overly focused on fears that are statistically unlikely.And frankly speaking its proved to be incredibly difficult to move beyond that line of thinking.Its ultimately proved detrimental.

I would like you to offer some evidence.I'm basing my assertion on analyses carried out regarding entrapment in counterterror cases.And there is a lot of evidence that cops are oftentimes quite 'generous' with finding false evidence to convict people on bogus terrorism charges.Not just muslims but right wingers left wingers and anyone have been arrested.There are recorded cases of judges admitting that they found the evidence unconvincing but they must convict because of prevailing public attitudes.Left wingers might be going too far with their assertions but cops in the US are not angels either.
