tldr: I pinged all 2600 active users of consumeproduct.win at once and told them that they had been added to a database, and it really, really busted their balls
Prolouge
ie, before the troll. feel free to skip this part if you are illiterate or have adhd or some other gay disease lmao
This story actually begins with the name that I assigned to this trolling operation. I was cleaning my room a few days back, thinking about memes and then the name sprang into my head. If you didn't know (ie, you are not a racist) there is a "meme" in the far-right about something called "The Day of the Rope", which is the point in the future where the good guys win and kill all of the degenerate blacks, gays, communists, users of rdrama.net, etc. (That's the difference between communists and fascists - while they would both realistically make everything way worse for everyone, the communist at least thinks that things will generally be better). Thus, the name "The Day of the Cope" was born. Now, all I had to do was create a trolling operation befitting it.
I knew I wanted to troll consumeproduct.win, because they are redditors at heart and, being redditors, . I had also trolled them once before and it was really fun. Now, for the rest of this to make sense, you need to have a general idea of how consumeproduct.win works. You see, consumeproduct.win is a "community" on a larger site called "communities.win" (recently renamed to "scored.co", but no one calls it that), despite having it's own url and look. So, you can subscribe to consumeproduct from communities.win like you would any other community.
When the site started, the point of C.W was to provide a place where subreddits can move if they get booted off of reddit. So, any time a (right-wing) sub got jannied, the admins would create a new board for them. Over time, the people who moved there wanted the place to have more generic content, so a few default subs were created, like /c/animals and /c/funny, but that was pretty much it.
However, the head gigajanny, a guy named /u/C (who I think is pmmeyourdoggos from reddit, but don't quote me on that, and if anyone has better info lmk), realized that the site had literally zero growth potential, so he decided to set about fixing that. Basically, he made the site have a useable front page that was secluded from the wingcuckery of the rest of the site, and, importantly, opened subcommunity creation. I wrote a summary of that drama here.
This was exactly the news I had been hoping for. Previously, my plan was to create a subreddit, get it banned for rightoid agendaposting, and use it as a trojan horse to create a new community. Now, I could do it without the admins getting involved at all!
Or so I thought. New users cannot create communities, and the requirements for what makes someone a """new""" user are not documented anywhere on the site. I thought you just needed to be a non-handshake user (which requires something like 50 comment karma and post karma), but that turned out to be incorrect. Then I thought there was a karma threshhold you needed to pass, so I created an account, /u/justwaittilnextyear, and started grinding karma (mostly just posting memes I found on groomercord to /c/Funny). After surpassing 2500 karma doing this and still not having enough karma, I finally asked what the threshhold was on /c/Meta. Guess what? I had been wasting my time because it was based on account age, not karma. (Don't worry, that account came in handy later) Luckily, a few months prior, I made an alt to do a little trolling. Thus, /u/bennington was born.
I created /c/rdrama right away, posted some dumb memes, and made a thread about it here. Then, I went to consumeproduct.win, and, using my karma grinding account, made a post concern trolling about it, and sat back as the drama unfolded mostly organically. Looking back, the drama from this is quaint in comparison to what happened later, but it was still funny to watch them get so peeved about something so trivial. Some funny incidents include:
I editted the WHOIS data for rdrama.net to say that we were based out of Tel Aviv. Funnily enough, somebody ran the WHOIS for themself and realized that it was different, but they rationalized as part of the conspiracy
A post was made on /c/Meta begging for gigajanny intervention
CP enjoyers jerk themselves raw over their """invasion""". Some absolute bangers in this thread
I made a CLEAR BACKGROUND PNG flag for them (they have actual s on rdrama dot net) :
cat CLEAR BACKGROUND PNG by itself of rdrama marsey cat :
BEWARE! they are more dangerous than you think because they have many liberal tech workers at companies to DOXX YOU!!!!
They doxx people who are right of center!
rdrama is so dangerous to us here, that typing the domain is INSTANT COMMENT BAN!!
"rdrama and .net" without the and, spelled properly is AUTO INSTANT SHADOWBAN of comment on this site!
THAT is how dangerous they are to innocent unwary people.
They hold grudges for about 72 hours.
be careful fricking with them Insurgent they read this conpro and they LIVE for drama brigading.
just visting their site and not logging in , but reading, as a lurker creates an ip address they try to cross correlate using leftist workers of theirs at FACEBOOK, APPLE, TWITTER, GOOGLE, AMAZON
keep your IP away from those militant rdrama homos
The Day of the Cope
Despite all of the seethe /c/rdrama had created, it was still not enough for me. Yeah, we got some lolcows, but nothing spectacular. Business was continuing as usual, and only a few posts were made across the site. Trolls were getting bored, lolcows were realizing that they were getting baited, and, in short, /c/rdrama was dying. 😢
Then I had an idea. As /u/bennington, one of my gimmicks was saying that people had been added to "the database". This had spawned some funny reactions on consumeproduct.win already. Now, obviously, "the database" was just a comment that I editted to include the usernames of various lolcows. But what if it was real? What if I compiled an actual hate database?
WARNING: NERDSHIT FOLLOWS. It turns out that every community on communities.win has a "hidden" comment feed of all comments made. This is made, I think, for moderators to make sure that people are behaving (I, of course, used it as an alert that new friends had joined /c/rdrama). As I did some digging, I discovered that this feed is populated by calling an API endpoint that returns neatly formatted json, and that each comment entry contains the username of the commentor. I whipped up a python script, and in like 20 minutes (my script was really poorly written lmaooo) I had scraped the usernames of everyone who had commented in the last 5000 pages of comments in CP.W.
Holy shit, there were a lot of usernames. There was, by some twist of luck (or bug) exactly 2600 names, not including /u/bennington. (I took this as a sign from snappy that I had his blessing ) I was expecting 100, tops. And most of them were semi-active, judging from a random sample that I tested. This is one of the few times that, when trolling, I stopped and asked myself - "Is this really a good idea?". The answer, of course, is no, but I did it anyways
So, after 13 comments, I had pinged every single user. And oh lordy, things really popped off. The thread is sitting at 900 comments, with 168 downmarseys. The page noticably lags when loading the thread due to the number of comments in it. However, the metric I am most proud of is:
Here is a small, small slice of the seethe from that thread. Yes, each of these are separate comments.
Put me in the screencap, you disgusting bunch of cute twinks. Hitler did nothing wrong. ok if you insist
You are the biggest cute twink i've ever seen. Please keep yourself safe immediately.
u/bennington you are a dumb n*gger, you're the blackest r-slur gorillia n*gger ive seen online
Some strags are trying to turn this place into Reddit part 2.
That's not all! I also got some lovely messages 😘
Holy shit, I am already at 15000/20000 characters on this post, and we're only just getting started...
Beyond the thread
In my book, the best type of spergout is one in which the lolcow in question is so jebaited that they create another thread. It's essentially handing the troll a on a golden platter. Well folks, I've taken so many Ws this fine day that I literally don't even know any I have. The main seethe hub, is, of course, consumeproduct.win. Before going to bed last night, I counted about twenty separate posts about it, seething that the rat bastard jew bennington made their little bell icon red. A lot of them were the exact same joke "glad I got on the leaderboard". Here's my choicest cuts:
My favorite was this excellent thread, by one of my personal favorite lolcows, /u/else. Mr. Else has been described as the rightoid pizzashill, but frankly that doesn't do him justice. There's really no putting him in a box - he is a schizo of all seasons.
This guy actually visited rdrama.net but wasn't a fan of the color pallet. STRAGGOT ALERT!
Apparently, there is an imposter amogus who broke the news that the whole "database" thing was fake. We should all applaud them for their detective work and critical thinking skills. @ThatHoeOverThere post on it has more discussion
This guy wrote a series of gay r*pe fantasies involving me, and I'm kind of turned on 1 2 3 4
Plenty of memes were posted. This is my favorite
"Bennington must go." "Who must go?"
One guy tried to tell his fellow frogposters to not take the bait, but this was like pissing into the ocean
The seethe wasn't contained to consumeproduct.win. Many took to /c/Meta, the helpdesk of communities.win to seethe and beg the gigajannies to step in. This is where you find the real gold.
rdrama trying what it tried on Ruqqus (+115, 71c) This one has the official response from /u/C, be sure to read it. I like actually like /u/C, he is probably the only sane user of communities.win so I felt a little bad about breaking his site 😞. Anyways, my favorite comment here: (in response to someone saying not to engage with us) ignoring a problem instead of addressing it is what children do
In regards to the RDrama attack on Scored / Win (+34, 47c). See also @X (formerly chiobu)'s post on the matter
And of course, my smugpost complaining about bugs with pinging users . Unfortunately not much activity there but it is still funny imo
Beyond the site
The seethe spilled out from communities.win and into a few other sites. Several people saw this as the end of consumeproduct.win, so they fled to their even shittier version of reddit, arete.network. Here is a post explaining why consumeproduct.win is over. There was also a post on some website called discussions.app (that's a really good thread lol)
RDRAMA WINS
This is the best thing that has ever happened in my entire life. - @Redactor0
Literally as I was writing this longpost, some fricking madman straight up hacked consumeproduct.win. we dont know who did this - see the legendary post. One thing I am sure of, though, is that /c/Meta went fricking nuclear.
Whoever you are, frick you for taking my spotlight, and incredible job.
Conclusion
I am reaching the 20000 (!) character limit on this post, and I still haven't covered everything. I haven't covered how this literally occurred at the right time to allow a cabal of powermoderators to emperor palpatine their way into total control of the site. I haven't talked about the several people who tried (and failed) to spam me back. Heck, I haven't even talked about the hilarious thread where @carpathianflorist and I baited all of them. Maybe someday, but I think I desperately need to touch some grass.
