should that fapwagon thread be nominated for this?

The two similar instances that merited nomination before involved one member repeatedly challenging the individual about their claim, then getting owned by photos shortly after:

1. Nik and Tyrgve's awesome Viking Gadget Command Center Desk.
2. Azurik and his AMEX Black card.

The fapwgn thread is just kinda cool.

It's not a permaban. I should have said vacation. His avatar is missing, which means he is shut out for some amount of time. Look at how all of his post content was removed in this thread.

I think he broke the new alky handling rule, in that he is not allowed to post certain things outside of his officially approved personal alky blog thread. Now, this post will probably be removed because I think we all have a limit on mentioning the "a" word outside of the official "a" thread.

Self-ownage isn't just being incorrect about something, although that is a big part of it. P&N kids with average intelligence or worse are a dime a dozen. The ingredients to an award winning thread also include:

- The thread creator obviously expecting ATOT to agree with whatever they did/think/etc. Not a hint of doubt in OP. You can almost feel the shock in their first few posts as the replies start going sideways

- Someone more qualified or experienced with the subject chiming in

- The thread creator refusing to change their mind even after being confronted with contrary evidence, and/or the majority of responses agreeing that OP is wrong. The longer they stick around in the thread trying to dig out or double-down the better.

- A certain trainwreck quality that is hard to explain, but you know it when you see it :p

This is an excellent outline, by no means a hard and fast rule as there are always exceptions. However, making sure he satisfies the 3rd requirement...

And the train wreck..

First purchase: "A few months after my 24th birthday I purchased my first property with a six figure down payment (all funded my from own savings) and mortgaged the rest."

First home: "I was able to bankroll each paycheck from the start of my career, enough to make a 35% down payment on my first house when I was 24. My dad even gave me a house-warming present"

Clearly the same.

Just give up, mooch. You aren't smart enough to lie convincingly. If you go cry to daddy about it, maybe he'll buy you another car.

Wait. Wouldn't this mean that he didn't have to pay rent to his family like he claimed?
