I propose: Auto-banning ATOT liars.

I know I'm not the only one getting fed up with the lying on ATOT, frequently in the form of such things as making up one's cars. Really though some of the children here feel compelled to make up entire lives or aspects of their lives which are later found out to be totally ficticious. I won't point out the names, because we all know who you are, but I think that after a member does an Uber-owning of some other member for lying, including supporting links (thanks for Fausto for the most recent Uber-ownage), they should be banned permanently. It's very anti-social and dilutes the quality of ATOT as a whole.

Silly threads, debates, even neffing - those are what ATOT should be. But when you can't even take a damn thing you read seriously without keeping a tally of the morons who lie here and there it becomes difficult to believe a freaking thing.

I agree and would like to start a clean slate.

I am Elmer J Fudd, Millionaire, I own a Mansion and a Yacht.

I second this!

Wasn't that the WHSLacrosseKid incident?

Get rid of all the liars, and there won't be very many people around. I'm all for it! :)

Good idea! It is tough to verify information sometimes, though.

This is an awesome example of freelance politics...gives me goosbumps just thinking about books to be written about how the internet is an example of early political situations. I mean, wooo....

good idea though

Well look at it this way.

1. ATOT is a free, publicly accessible forum. I.e. no good way to filter out the chaff.

2. It's primarily users are the tech-savvy (read: computer geeks).

3. As a general rule, most (but not all) computer geeks are either socially retarded or have major self-esteem issues.

4. People with gigantic social interaction issues tend to have skewed perspectives of how the world should/does work, and often are very opinionated and closed minded. Those with self-esteem issues generally think that in order to have friends they have to impress others by fabricating large parts of their lives, because their "ordinary" lives aren't good enough.

That's a crock of BS, and I should know, I'm a Nobel Prize-winning psychiatrist. ;)
