Its hard to definitively crown the worst gimmick on GameFAQs Poll of the Day boardhumor is subjective, and a gimmick can be both annoying and oddly entertaining. However, one that consistently draws ire is the style used by a user commonly known as C4, notorious for capitalizing random words in every post as a way to bait newer or gullible users into responding . For example:

C4s CAPITALIZING important WORDS to help BAIT new/gulible/bored USERS into getting TROLLED. ewww

That kind of attention-seeking, disingenuous posting stylemore focused on disruption than genuine discussionis widely disliked, even if its effective at creating engagement. So if youre looking to identify the most infamous gimmick, C4s all-caps trolling is a top contender.

Me posting bird shit doesn't harm anyone other than the 40 year olds who want everything to be "normal".

Gimmicks don't hurt anyonem

I go "awwk awwk" to stim. Now if I posted NSFW or slurrs, that is another story.

However, I can put you on block or ignore if what I do bothers you. You can't stop me because you don't like it, but you are older than me, so you can be a big kid and ignore it.

Since you are actin' like it hurts you, I already tagged you and you are on block.

However you are complaining over damn bird noises as if it offends you. People ain't gonna act normal because you don't like what others do. Plus a 30/40 year old complaining over a 20 year old or what they do is pathetic and sad at the same time. There are people who do shit that is annoying and I pay no mind.

These threads are more "I don't like what someone says, be normal baaawwwww!"

making birdy noises is also not that bad of a gimmick. I was thinking it was a whole persona where you pretend to live in a birdhouse and take birdbaths and protest playing video games like Angry Birds.

There are MUCH worse gimmicks than making the occasional squawk

It started pretty recently. That user with Shinobi in their username was pretty chill, then they switched their username, took on a bird persona, and started acting more aggressive.

I hope I don't become an angry bird one day.

You'd better be careful, they're going to start repeatedly whining to you in PMs about how you have a moral obligation to not hurt their feelings on a public message board.



Falgos posted...
Since you are actin' like it hurts you, I already tagged you and you are on block.

Funny that you immediately threatened to block them when you seemingly refused to accept that as an option when I told you to just ignore/block me if you had a problem with me.

Even funnier that you're never going to do it even if you try and use it as a threat, because ignoring people would deny you the attention you so desperately crave.

Funnier still that you're talking about how people are apparently upset or offended, but you're pretty clearly the most tilted person in this topic.



Falgos posted...

And this is why you do what you do.

You weren't getting enough attention for being a precious snowflake on your last account, so when you made your new one you decided to get even more annoying.

This is why you'll never ignore/block anyone. Because if you did you wouldn't be able to get your outrage rush. You're basically a shit-level troll. You've become just like every other lame gimmick account before you, and eventually, people will go back to ignoring you out of pity or disgust. Because the more you lean into your gimmick just to be annoying, the less you'll say anything that might be worth hearing.

So you are adding words in my mouth when you don't know what stimming is. SO you think everyone has to be normal.

Not everyone needs to be normal, but it's preferable to not cross the line to just being deliberately annoying.

You're not on the side of that line you think you are.

This isn't stimming; it's roleplay. It can be considered insensitive to people who perform actual stimming to misappropriate the term like that.

That was quick.

For someone who "ain't that low", someone certainly rushed off to fire off another pissy PM as fast as they possibly could.

Also, a lot of your posts seem incredibly ageist. I'm offended by your bigotry and insensitivity.



SoreChasm posted...
That must've been a pleasant exchange

It was pleasant for me. I'm not the one having a neurotic breakdown over the fact that there are people on the Internet who don't follow the arbitrary rules of social behavior I've invented for myself to protect my own ego.

I'd happily repost the half-dozen PMs currently sitting in my inbox but I ain't that low.

(and actually, I'm not sure if it's against the ToS and will just get deleted)

The funny thing is though, ALL of this started because I threw out a casual "btw, you're not a bird" as a joke in one post. Yet apparently that was enough to convince them that I'm somehow their archenemy who secretly plots anti-avian hate crimes and spend all my time shaking my fist and stewing in impotent rage over lame gimmick posters on the Internet.

It'd be funny if it wasn't kind of sad.
