The 2021 Spammer War

How it all started
It all started when a user named MartySays (later revealed to be REDACTED) is back! started spamming on the daily strip. https://www.gocomics.com/bignate/2021/02/16 Moon man is never too far had the on-topic featured comment, but then out of the blue, MartySays started spamming over 200 replies. (uoıʇıpƎ uʍoᗡ ǝpısd∩) ʞɔnɥƆɹWǝʌıʇɔnpoɹԀ, Big Rafy and aboutdawerld were telling MartySays to stop. He also spammed on other peoples' comments, which annoyed many people. You can see a few ghost pings of him on the strip, mainly on the featured comment. The strip on that day reached over 600 comments before he/she got banned.

Skwidwurd Returns
Then, on Feb. 27th, when a guy named started spamming, it was nothing but people constantly swearing at him and starting a war in each comment. A group named G.R.O.S.S. (based on G.R.O.S.S. from Calvin and Hobbes) It first stood for Get Rid of Spammer Simps but then was changed to Get Rid of Stupid Spammers, some could argue that it was not the solution, notable people who disagreed were @The man behind the slaughter, @ComixLover9000 (After he left G.R.O.S.S) @Cancel Commenter, @ (TheYounglings), and @Grizz™. It is unknown whether G.R.O.S.S. was a success or not, but after many versions of Skwidwurds later, (e.g. Skwidwurd 2.0, Skwidwurd 3.0, Skwidwurd 4.0, Skwidwurd Gaming, etc.) His comment possibly reached a record of over 1000 replies, although this was broken by NiceFacingReborn.

His Followers Rise
The record is later broken by a man named Wrk93, a person who followed Skwidwurd's legacy and got a new record of 1,600+ replies. Some replies they put were spams like "LONG LIVE MARTYSAYS" or "/E FEETURE". Some casualties of this time were @Cancel Commenter who got accused for getting @Agent Sus banned because @Cancel Commenter said: "Agent Sus is canceled for his stupid group." If you're interested, the two co-leaders of G.R.O.S.S. were @ꪻꫝꫀ ꪑꪖᦔ ꪻ꠸ꪻꪖꪀ ꫝ꠸ꪑᦓꫀꪶᠻ (might be wrong font), and @Zesty Taco, who might've been banned. The day Wrk93 came, a few others also came spamming the daily strip to its limits, but were all banned luckily. You might've seen @s̪̩͇͍̜͕͎͛ͫͤͪͨ̾̽q̙ͥu̗̥͔̍̂͗id̫̣͎ NEW G.R.O.S.S recently but it's obviously a fake because he talks much more and spams way less, also @s̪̩͇͍̜͕͎͛ͫͤͪͨ̾̽q̙ͥu̗̥͔̍̂͗id̫̣͎ NEW G.R.O.S.S said sorry for spamming so it is not him for sure now. NiceFacing recently got notorious for spamming over 400 times, then on April 1st, he got the world record for most replies of over 2000 and made the April 1st 2021 strip have over 2700 comments, the biggest of all time.

Return of "MartySays"
"MartySays" appeared to be back for 2 days. He spammed in Agent Potassium Peely's comment and in groups of 30-100 in his own comments. In the second day he got the fourth most commented comment with the record of 1000. On that same day, he deleted that comment and apologized. Agent Potassium Peely also apologized for spamming. However he might be a fake because Marty wouldn't do certain things and this has happened before.

Minor Spammers
Next, @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Stonk did his turn of spamming, reaching hundreds of comments, some minor spammers came along to try to get featured by replying to their comment about 20 times, these people were @#hunter boy is a genius and @EOS WEBCAM UTILITY. Another minor spammer named @Debs the Anarcho-Communist spammed "BIG NATE IS A COMMUNIST!!!!" on a comment around 30 times. Jones Hilburn posted a comment saying "DO NOT REPLY TO THIS COMMENT. I WILL GO CRAZY IF SOMEONE REPLYS SO DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT, IT THIS IS NOTHING, DO NOT REPLY TO THIS!!!" Jones also said "Pleeeez stop u are killing me with each letter you type" which led to the tens of spams from @froggietothemax, @NiceFacingReborn also spammed about 10 times.

The Aftermath
There are still spammers in big Nate like debs nicefacings and etc this war has started many people to spam and just be annoying and people begging to be featured it is a dark time in the big Nate community. A new spammer called Debs the Anarcho-Communist recently came up and spammed "BIG NATE IS A COMMUNIST!!!!" His 3rd account announced that he will be holding an election for president of Gocomics. The Revolution is the link to the events of the election. Debs has held the first successful election ever (others got rejected) and the winner was @Quincy. @I hate Debs was @hHGuuhxsdusyhdvsghtryrtgggvhhxhdhggvcgdHGBGBhname with a different name and spammed saying to flag him and get him banned. He spammed about 60 times before he deleted them and changed his name, simply asking now to ban him a few times before spamming a crazy amount of "I hate Debs!!!". He later got banned. The comment section is still full of comments. But with the help of bans, nice users, and other stuff, the comment section has become a better place.

The Rise of Debs
As I said previously, Debs was a person who spammed Big Nate is a communist, he was back as a fresh new person who wanted to rule the comment section. He started off by making the 3rd successful presidential election in Gocomics, he used google poll to do it and announced the winner after one day. Around 70 people voted and Quincy won by 1 vote, Debs got 21 votes. Everybody moved on from there on but Debs wasn't done, he wanted to start a revolution and recruited people at around April 20th. He called the group B.N.R.A.F. and got quite a few troops, @S͇͖̙̰̦̤̽ͤͭ͐̔͗q͍̲ͪ̂ṵ͉͓͉i̻̩d͔ͬ came back for a brief time on April 24th and joined B.N.R.A.F., but he announced that he was only a spy and declared war on Debs, thus the biggest war of all time came down for featured comment. They each got over 1000 replies on their comment but none have managed to get to the 2000 @NiceFacingReborn acquired. They each made the new record for most commented strip with a bizarrely massive over 4300 comments. In the end, Debs and Squid both got banned. Debs may either come back or get Ip-banned. There is another Debs account who got banned but may also come back. He is probably an alt, but there isn't enough evidence to prove that. after the 4300 comment incident happened, things started to cool down, with more spammers getting banned every day. However, the end of the war is still yet to come.

Vengeance of Squid
@S͇͖̙̰̦̤̽ͤͭ͐̔͗q͍̲ͪ̂ṵ͉͓͉i̻̩d͔ͬ however, would still keep doing what he does and planned to spam even more on Saturday after his spam on Tuesday, @Scout from tf2, the man in the Guess That Commenter War and presumed to be the one who infiltrated G.R.O.S.S.'s hideout, also got banned for a bunch of stuff I don't even want to get into, forgive me but I really don't. He also, along with Debs, found where A.R.T.S.C.A.M was, then all the members of that group flagged him like crazy. Next, @BonkyBoiSays - Super Mega Based King of GoComics got what he finally wanted with a comment saying: "Scout TF2 was banned… or was he?

the best FanFic writer will return…

The Riding: coming to a comment section near you." For the first time in forever, BonkyBoiSays got featured because of a spammer-turned-friend, @ChocolateRhino, and the notorious @S̺͖͉ͯ̓̀q̩̺ͪͫu̝͔̦̲̬͕͔ͧ̋ͧ̐ͧ̋̊i̩͇̭̫̐͛̓̋̂ͅd̖͖̘͙̮. @toasted's comment got the attention of @ChocolateRhino who wanted it featured, and, Chocolate once again did the work. Somehow, they both weaseled their way out. Next, a pandemic of impersonators would make their work notified, Squid joined the group and decided to spam with them. Chocolate Rhino, after trying to not get Squid's comment featured quit being a spammer saying he "will be a normal commenter". More information on that dilemma: SAiLoR mOon Private Information Dilemma. The dilemna also, unfortunately, flared up more spammers.

Scout From TF2: Rise Up
On May 1, 2021, Scout From TF2 came back with the username "Soldier From TF2", and posted another inappropriate story about Quincy and Mr.Beast. He and S̺͖͉ͯ̓̀q̩̺ͪͫu̝͔̦̲̬͕͔ͧ̋ͧ̐ͧ̋̊i̩͇̭̫̐͛̓̋̂ͅd̖͖̘͙̮ spammed together saying mostly, "You've been trolled." and "E", and several users like SA_2020 and MiaCortesEstrada told them to stop, Soldier From TF2 responding in vulgar replies and calling others underage. A semi-popular user by the name of FootballFanatic101 was a poller that posted daily off-topic polls, however luckily not starting any major arguments. On May 1, 2021, he turned on us by spamming "You are fat" 50 times. He then proceeded to leave. He is yet to be banned, however. Soldier From TF2 has posted another inappropriate story, on the same strip that got over 5000 comments due to three spammers. It now has over 5300, more definitely to come. The other thing that's happening is the spamming is cooling down, probably only because people now can't open their own comments to spam on.

While all the chaos is happening on May 3, 2021. NiceFacing is currently spamming on a random Big Nate strip at this very moment. His current number of replies is, 2147 right now as you are reading this.

The Shadow P. Long Crisis
After Debs got defeated on May 5th 2021, Shadow P. Long joined on May 6, 2021, by the username "hoo", (he changed it to Shadow P. Long) and started spamming around 150 comments, while people sweared at him and told him to start. The comment said "BRING BACK APARTHEID!!!!!", and then he spammed on it. He replied to the hate comments with racist slurs (not really slurs though), and eventually got banned. However, sAiLoR mOoN (real) a comment saying, "man the kkk guy needs to get banned he's so racist". It eventually got featured, but with an argument between sAiLoR mOoN (real), Schneiderpox, DarthTyrannus and NiceFacing, and somehow the argument transformed into about underage users (more info here). The comment has 501 replies as of now. Shadow P. Long was then banned. The next day, Shadow P. Long returned under the username "Percival Longshadow", and said some stuff supporting Hitler and spam comments. This sparked lots of controversy, but luckily he was banned again. The next day, he returned by the name of "Sir Shadow P. Long", saying "LONG LIVE KKK", and it got 1000+ replies, mostly spam. most of the people thought that Squid was banned for good. Then Squid came out from the shadows and spammed for 3 hours gained the record for most replies, the replies mostly consisted of (hit)ler hating comments. A unmentioned spammer also spammed for featured.

Conclusion
Thank you for allowing me to explain another war in the Big Nate Gocomics comment section... Damn MartySays they were also all cultists of you, pat yourself on the back for creating such a legacy.

Although I have to say, before Wrk93 got banned, he said we would see soon how many alts he has so try not to comment on spams and try to flag them. Edits are welcome if you think I missed anything or need this to be up to date. MartSays (And many others) over and out.
