Profile: MartySays

MartySays (later known as EllenSays)  was a user and commenter on GoComics, and the first of the New Pollers.

MartySays' first poll appeared on November 15, 2017. It entailed of:

"poll: what was your favorite science experiment in middle school? thank you"

-MartySays, November 15, 2017

Because of the Poll War in the past, many commenters strongly objected to his polls. But even though there was this backlash, he still kept polling. However, he kept his polls relatively strip-related. This led to the creation of the Narwhals, the anti-censorship group wanting to protect MartySays from those who fight to prevent a second Poll War, and the Anti-Polls, a counter-survey group believing that polls cause a massive disruption to the comment section and only cause division. This also led to a plethora of imitators who created polls like him and also got backlash. However, most of these were ignored, as MartySays usually took the featured comment before anyone else, though other people like Hev1 would usually snatch that comment right from under Marty's nose.

However, MartySays' polls became more and more off topic, repetitive, and plain annoying everyday, and thus the resistance and dissent against his polls increased. It soon became apparent that he was using a second account, "boosted" to try and capture featured comment by having boosted spam his comment to get more replies. This was confirmed when, on November 19th, MartySays replied to his own poll, saying, "oop, got to make this featured comment."

The next day, user 0A1S2D3F4G5H wrote a comment summarizing the evidence that MartySays was really a troller. The comment was featured and at it's peak had 71 replies, most agreeing with 0A1S2D3F4G5H. Many other comments were also written that day calling for MartySays to be banned. MartySays did not help his case, as he ranted and complained and helped certify himself as a troller and spammer in the process. Many users sent emails to the comment section moderator, demanding that MartySays be banned.

The next day, November 21, 2017, MartySays and his other accounts were banned from the comment section after a week of polls, spam, and intense fighting. The Narwhals admitted to MartySays being a troll, although still defended his polls in the comment section, while the Anti-Polls celebrated their hard fought victory.

On November 26, 2017, comments under the name of MartySays appeared again. There was no evidence if it was the real MartySays, or just an imitator, yet the account was still reported and banned.

A user on the Big Nate Comments Section Wiki, claiming to be MartySays, promised a dramatic return to the comments section on December 1st. On the days prior to the supposed return, the user vandalised pages, proposed truces that he immediately violated, built up drama, and caused general havoc on the wiki. Fortunately, the chaos was mostly confined to the wiki and did not spill over into the comment section. BiggerNate91 defended MartySays throughout this period, begging users to accept MartySays' demands in order to keep peace. On December 1st, A user going by the name of TeddySays posted a completely unrelated poll in the comment section. However, this user was swiftly banned. There is no evidence that the user on the wiki and TeddySays are the same person or that either of them are MartySays, but it is widely assumed that this is the case. The Comment Section had once again foiled the plans of MartySays and preserved the peace. Narwhals and Anti-Polls were all in agreement that MartySays should be barred from the comment section. The only user still defending MartySays is BiggerNate91.
