The 2021 Spammer War

How it all started
It all started when a user named MartySays 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 and trying to make peace with him. 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 they got banned.

Skwidwurd Returns
Then, on Feb. 27th, a guy named started spamming. the reactions were 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. He also decided to be a normal commenter. 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, NiceFacing, 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. or that was what we thought. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning.

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 dilemma also, unfortunately, flared up more spammers. Squid then said that the next day would be worse yet nothing happened.

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 spammed "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. Now, as there are no spammers currently in the section, the people are finally at peace. Spammers haven't been seen in days so this might be the end of the great Spammer War. No promises though...

More Spammers
Then, on May 10, 2021, Scout returned by the username "Heavy From TF2 G.O.D.S." (he's probably heavy irl). He made another inappropriate story of Mr.Beast and The real moon man, and of course, spammed on his own comment. This annoyed many, who were swearing at him and telling him to stop. BonkyBoi kept trolling and supporting him, while others were more annoyed. The shocking part is, the once tranquil comment section of Crabgrass was also under attack. Heavy made a racist comment about Miles, which he spammed on. He got into a minor argument with ɴᴀᴛᴇ "ᴍᴀʀᴛʏ" ᴡʀɪɢʜᴛ, where Heavy was saying unacceptably racist things about the creator of Crabgrass, Tauhid Bondia, just because Tauhid's black! He kept calling Tauhid the n-word, and he said stuff like "you should have surgery to change your skin color" and "you should go kill yourself". He eventually got banned. This banning might have been the quickest of all all time as most claimed he was banned in 10 minutes. Scout was @Sniper from TF2(G.A.M.E.R.S.) now and spammed for about 50 times, he repeatedly swore and insulted. The comment surprisingly only reached over a hundred replies. He keeps returning with alts and nobody knows when this will end, Spammers keep on coming and more and more spammers rise...when will this War end?

Scout by now has had multiple more alts, all with the same exact personality. Squid however decided to stop spamming and typed Spammers: The Few, The Proud. During this time, all the people were tricked by an alt of squid named Squid 5.0 Reborn. This account was banned and hasnt returned. Sniper managed to join live chat on the wiki and almost started a fiasco, luckily he got banned forever. That also ended live chat for good after only 3 days. Bonky also manged to join and he was kind of toxic, but at least he didn't spam. The war is coming to wiki, this can't be good. Then, disaster struck. Scout had joined the wiki and he had explained almost everything. He revealed that he was Debs but this information might not be true. He said that he was Isreal69420 and El Zoido. Soon, the tension died down once more and again, the people wondered if the war was over. Then the commenter @annonemouse started spamming but then was banned. He decided to join G.O.D.S. and then, Squid came back to start his own revolution.

Bannings Continue
On May 18, 2021, the GoComics mods decide to go on a banning spree. After months of barely activeness, a mod named "Gmod" decided to ban all the underage users, all the regular users for no reason, and all of the spammers, and that finally cleared things up, in a very ironic fashion. By now, we know most the goals of all the spammers. Minor spammers goals are to get attention, Squid's goal is for the record, and Scout's goal is to get IP banned.

A couple spammers, new and old came up and did the drill. Spam and get banned. A new spammer named @Batman Who Laughs who reached over 1100 replies until he got banned and the Sonic/Mia drama got featured. Unfortunately, this caused yet another one of the dozens of major conflicts in this war.

BonkyBoiSays said specifically to MrBeast on discord that TF2 told him he will come back with another alt. This has yet to be happening.

A few more people were banned on May 21 and 22nd, including Moon man is gone and a few others. At the same time, Squid doxxed a user and got blocked on the wiki for the second time. The wiki also crashed.

First Botted Spam
A new spammer appeared as @The Batman Who Laughs and spammed some few hundred times, this was a quick ban and he waited until the weekend to do so. On May 22, 2021, an alt of @The Batman Who Laughs named @The Darkest Knight spammed "HAHAHAHA!" for over six hours straight, gaining a ridiculous amount of over 18,000 replies in total, only hundreds were actual comments, and most were remarking on the spam, not commenting about the strip. Many speculate it was a bot who did it due to the literal endless spamming. @The One Who Laughs was yet another alternate account and decided to spam only six hundred times on Sunday. ChaseWinner was the last one to get a screenshot, pictured to the right. This is by far a world record. Many did discover that this was a bot. Furthermore, on the same day, it was revealed that Squid was actually @BigRedDog, so Squid was spamming after all. As predicted by Linked: Four down to One, Scout stopped spamming and so did Shadow P Long. Scout returned and spammed but he was banned.

Batman Returns
@The One Who Laughs revealed on May 27 that he was indeed botting his polls, and he only spams because he's bored (wow, what an exciting reason!) Anyways, he spammed 2000 times to shatter the spam record that day. He must have had boredom overload that day..qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvm....yeah, he is actually a pretty nice guy, and the first "nice" spammer. There are rumors that he's actually BonkyBoiSays.

Comment Section Downfall?
On May 28, a spammer named Electro spammed emojis going 20 replies at a second starting with the comment "Hey Hey Hey! If You Think That You Can Stop Me You Will Find This Qui-ite Shockin'!" He was eventually banned. We all went to bed on May 30th but when we woke up, we were shocked.

The featured comment had only 6 ducking replies, people were surprised that the featured comment during Electro's spam had only 30 replies but never this small, the comic actually had only a hundred replies which they considered abnormal as it usually reaches a few hundred. @gmod appeared to have gone on a banning rampage and is refusing to verify anyone, even The Bannings couldn't count all of them and got a bit overwhelmed by the amount of people on the wiki saying they were banned, alts weren't getting verified. This appeared to have been what Batman predicted: Damage Control, they are panicking. Ironically, the mods may have ended this war; the next one may be starting.

The mods seemed to be deleting all unrelated comments, this has led to the featured comment not being a poll and not having many replies. Here is an example (note: at noon): Yes, that was the featured comment. The mods seem to have gone insane, although they are strangely verifying only a random chosen few.

The Return of Squid?
On June 1, a spammer by the name of Zeus returned. After many people claimed that he was in love with Mia, he decided to threaten other users and spam, he also said many sexual messages many of which were about Mia. After he was banned multiple times, thing calmed down. The, Squid returned and started to spam thing such as  @ILOVEYOUOBIWANKENOBIJESUS and  LONG LIVE SQUID THE KING SPAMMER. This attack went on for around 20 minutes before he was banned. He did not use his normal name but some people think that this is indeed, the real Squid.

The spammer count weren't as high as in spring, summer was looking up for some people. Although there is still a spammer for every single week in GC so far in 2021 Spammer War.A new spammer named @DJ HYPE SANS who was originally a normal underage commenter appeared to have been unbanned and now was spamming "dumb idiot". Another one by the name of @finilil149999 returned after Dmitri's other alt got banned and spammed plus spreading more sexual messages. He shortly got banned but Franz (Dmitri) was still denying that it wasn't his alt. DEWICORN got banned a 21st time, which isn't very noteworthy, but did host the "wedding" between Zeus and Mia. This incident caused a small amount of chaos for a few hours.

@Yer Ole Papa Stiz (G.O.D.S) who is presumed to be another alt of Papa Stiz spammed over a hundred times and called people slurs, plus insulting jews, and being neo-nazi. @TF2s Gun also appeared that day at the same time as Papa Stiz, posting another porn story this time about purple guy being a therapist for Mia, and Sonic appearing and them both ******* Mia.

Shortly after the bans of both spammers, @The Comment Section Journalist (Anti Spam) decided to host another presidential election for GoComics, the contestants who signed up were stated by him, "The candidates who have registered include D3WICORN, Super Mega Based DJ Sans of Gocomics, Crab, Culer, Zomboss, Shakespere, and leanmusaf. To vote in the Election say your candidate in a reply!"

People started starting campaigns to get votes, it quickly became the main topic.

The next day, the election was left in the dust. Papa Stiz once again spammed reaching over 600 replies. The strip itself reached over 2000 comments. Another spammer named Stonks 5.0 also spammed for a while .They were then banned.

The next day, Squid returned and spammed doxxes. He is yet to be banned. He later deleted the comment for an unknown reason. He also returned.

The One Follower finally couldn't take it anymore and has left GoComics. He later returned after the new spam rule was activated. Then he left again, a few days later.

Even More Spammers
Leanmusaf was a recently new commenter on GC, although after a couple days, he decided to go to the wiki and brag. Anybody who opposed him would be called slurs and Henry shut him down with an IP-ban.

But then on Gocomics, Dmitri (a new commenter on the wikia and GC) announced that he was ip-banned on the wiki, it didn't take a genius for the community to know and panicking, he came up with a ridiculous story about leanmusaf hacking him and doin stuff. This was disproved as leanmusaf called the wiki f*ggots and demanded Dmitri to be unbanned or else he would kill him.

Obviously the wiki didn't and Dmitri soon apologized and surrendered on GC.

@Still face started spamming on June 5th, 2021, and reached a solid 325 replies before he was banned. He also commented anti LGBTQ+ things. What a toxic b***h.

@Still a face here appeared on June 6th 2021 and commented a simple line of "Featured." He instantly started spamming and decided to also spam on the whole strip, along the way insulting LBQT+ saying man shouldn't like p*nis and woman like v*gina. He also called a bunch of people slurs, due to the name it is suspected it was The Nameless One 9 on the wiki due to Nameless's alts being called "No Face" and other things. Fun Fact: The Nameless One 9 was blocked on the wiki for posting NSFW.On June 7th 2021, @Electro the Elite member of (G.R.O.S.S), @Stonks 7.0, @John_Marston and @No Face Detected returned yet again. Stonks started spamming with Electro, though he was quickly banned. Electro, however, was not. Around that time, @D3WICORN posted a comment saying "Featured be me" Electro, No Face, and John started spamming on that comment, reaching a reply number of around 600. After he finished spamming, Face started saying more anti LGBTQ+ things yet again. All the spammers were banned shortly after. This just goes down as another attack in the 2021 Spammer War.

THE END OF THE WAR!...or not
In a swift action of code, the moderators added a feature where you could only comment two times per minute! (Astro, a commenter, noticed this.) This marked the end of the war, no self-respecting spammer would wait an hour just to do 120 spam.

The comment section actually did rejoice, 2021 Spammer War was over...

As a result of this, many commenters that didn't spam were frustrated over the fact that they had to wait a minute before commenting.

Then, on June 14th, the section realized the war was not over. TF2 returned yet again with sex stories and spam, spamming around 30 times before the reactions started flowing in. The featured comment that day reached around 150 replies.

Spamming Attempts
Squid and Scout appeared on the wiki, parading all around the wiki saying that "The 2021 Spammer War has only started!", Scout tried spamming with different alts whilst using Incognito-Mode in order to bypass the limit, he only got to 200 comments in over half an hour. Unfortunately the mods didn't ban all of his alts and he used the remaining to spam once again, and possibly the last time he will ever spam and got a grand total of over 300 comments.

The spammer war isn’t over??
On a day in July (I forgot which date), users by the name of Noname1986 and My name is E showed up, and spamming until around 112 replies. He later deleted the spam. Around 3 to 4 days later on a Saturday, Noname and My name is E returned, except he was not alone. There were at least 3 other people to help him spam, including The Batman who laughs, who set up his bot. By the time they all got banned, they had reached a ridiculous amount of over 1000 replies. Noname and E returned the following weekend, this time only alone. They spammed for 3 hours straight, gaining around 350-500 replies. They later got banned.

More Bypassed Spam
On September 19th, 2021, Noname returned once again, this time with 2 others including My name is L and Hahahahha. They reached around 361 replies after two hours of spamming. Since the mods don’t do their job, the spammers still weren’t banned the next morning. After a user named Didn’t ask spammed and generated around 30 replies, half of them reactions. Since he only spammed 15 times, Noname and Co. decided that an experienced spammer should be featured, so he spammed and got over 100 replies. Noname and L were later banned, but hahahaha has not been banned.

There is another spamming event planned whenever I can get my alts verified. This time I will have 4 alts spamming, so you don’t want to miss this event

On the 20th September, theEVILmadscientist and Olarpayearbay spammed it is time many times, but the comment was deleted by the mods, and they were both banned, but not before the post reached 100 comments.

Squids Note: I am finally glad that this madness is over. People can come to this wiki in peace without wondering if they are Squid. It is a time of peace. I want to keep it that way. This is not a threat and I have no other alts. Thank you Admins, Mods, and Crats for doing your job. And to you spammers. Just stop.

No

Reactions
Dewicorn- We fought hard...and won!!!!

Aee23 -I left GC but I'm proud of all who have made it through!

Anime Jenny - I’m happy it’s over bc I am anti spam.

Comicfanatic07 -Yay! We've beaten spammers! Debs, Scout - eat your heart out!!

Inked- I was not here for most of it, but I suppose it's nice to finally have no spam for a while. The spammers will probably bypass it though ngl.

BigNate's Sandwiches - I'm neutral on this. People reacting to spam was funny, but not having spam is a bit better. it's funny that everyone is acting like they beat spammers, but its just the moderators were semi-competent for once. But it most likely isn't over, they'll prob find a way around it. SpyroSays - IS THAT A CHALLENGE FOR INSPECT?

TheGuyWithNoNamesAtAll- I'd write some cheesy shit but instead i'll just yell POGCHAMP

Golf: Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I'm very happy LOL.

Thegiantenemyspider: pogchamp.

Big Rafy-The reason I left GoComics, Glad it's over.

WolfPackWolf-Some spammed for a good cause. Well, i'm sad it is over.

Who said it was over? - Squid

It ain't over until scout leaves. -John

Yay.-Shyguyboi

Beep,Beep-RoadRunnar

i’m glad it’s over, it’s good that the moderators sealed spamming, so that nobody could take my record of spamming legitimately. - NiceFacing

Why must they ruin everything fun? - Zomboss

Yay. - Canttouchthis5555

Now the comment section is boring. -IC429

Good.- Sir Ramsey

I'm a little late but yay! - -No Avatar-

There'll still be drama, but now at least the comments are mainly on the strip. Less "Featured" nonsense. This is a step, hopefully in the right direction. -Best Commenter Ever

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.

Edits are welcome if you think I missed anything or need this to be up to date. MartSays (And many others) over and out.
