The "Immature commenters" incident (In the perspective of HootboyV2)

Pre-Incident:
It was a very peculiar day on GoComics, as most of the comments were about the comic being a rerun.

And the featured comment was this: "btw, its my brother's birthday" - Jenny Jenkins

Anyway, one of the users who replied to that comment was Spunjbawb10, one of the "Immature commenters" who annoyed most of the GoComics comment section. And he didn't look like he was immature. he just seemed like a new, regular, curious, commenter. And for a few days, he just commented normally, with no precognition of what he would do next.

Incident:
October 1st, 2020 was a holiday for me, so I opened GoComics, expecting there to be another comment made by a spammer. (Since most of the featured comments for the past few days were featured because of spammers) What I did NOT expect was this: POLL: whats in yor clozet?" - shreik10

And when I opened up the replies, I saw a bunch of weird, childish comments made by shreik10 and some other users.

And soon Spunjbawb10 decided to act immature as well.

Then this exchange happened between Spunjbawb10 and 7th Persona: Comment Section Randy:

7th Persona: Comment Section Randy (referring to Moon_man is gone's recent comment: It’s official, our stupidity lowered Moon Man’s IQ. I guess stupidity is a virus.

Spunjbawb10: thats not nice1!11

7th Persona: Comment Section Randy: Hoping you weren’t smart enough to be offended Spunjbawb10: stop beeng so meen11

You see, for some reason, Spunjbawb10 was using the "1" key instead of the exclamation mark, and he might've been intentionally spelling words wrong. Tucker Budzyn recognized that and said: "DO YOU KNOW HOW TO HOLD SHIFT AND MAKE AN EXCLAMATION MARK?"

Which Spunjbawb10 replied to by saying: "wats eclamaton mrk"

That basically sums up how they were acting during this incident, dumb, immature, and babyish/childish.

Anyway, this was when a user by the name of sawnick10 came along. He started to act like shreik10 and Spunjbawb10.

A few minutes later, I came back. And, being the dumbhead that I usually am, decided to reply to this poll: '''"two 5-year-old chicken drumsticks, a decapitated head, 16 old Rubik’s cubes that are so old, they’re impossible to turn, 5 tissue boxes, 7 retainers, 6 old “Archie” comic books, a Lion King plushie, 15 participation medals, a clock with only one hand, a teddy bear with no limbs, 55 old snail shells, 7 decapitated Barbie dolls, 99 packets of ketchup, and to top it all off: 8 packs of Baby Wipes." - Me (Hootboy V2)'''





And after that comment, I went to bed. And what I see the next morning blew my mind, the poll had gotten over 400 replies. And when I read the replies, I almost cracked. I saw that most of the replies were them talking about stuff inappropriate, flat-out lying, and more. But what's the most annoying of all was that they WEREN'T banned! I mean, where were the mods!??

I was so enraged by this I made another comment: "That’s it. The report button isn’t working. Let’s just ignore them for the rest of our lives. They’ll finally knock it off" - Me (HootboyV2)

And since I felt that wasn't enough, I made another comment on the next comic: '''"Okay. That’s it. These spammers think they can get what they want by acting dumb, immature, and annoying? I don’t know what they gain from life by just annoying people, but that’s not the point. Let’s just talk normally about Big Nate, the comic strip that all of us love, without replying to these spammers. Let’s pretend they don’t exist. Let’s pretend they NEVER existed. We have to act like they have had no impact on this comment section. But there’s one thing that concerns me: HACKING. Because I swear they hacked @Moon_man is gone’s account. They may have even hacked @❄️cheese❄️’s account. I have no idea. But now this spammer has made multiple different accounts to make it look like he has fans. It’s pathetic. And since the red flag doesn’t work on them, the only chance we have is to ignore them. They’re probably gonna reply like: “aWwWw wHy u actig so meen111///” but I don’t care. I hope other GoComics commenters are gonna make comments just like this, cause we need to spread the word: DO NOT REPLY TO THESE SPAMMERS" - Me (HootboyV2)''' FYI: most of the statements I made in this comment may be untrue. Like hacking. I just assumed that they hacked some users' accounts since they said that they did.

Anyway, the replies came back mixed. Some comments were like this:

"Why are you so angry about this its actually funny" - Mr. P

But I got 9 likes on my comment. So I guess everybody doesn't disagree with me.

Anyway, some other nefarious commenters decided to take everything to a whole new level. The most notorious was probably SpitsySays, as he contributed to about 75 comments by spamming. Another really annoying commenter was PEPE PAG 2.0 who spammed and made comments so inappropriate that I don't want to post them here. Ark Gaming_ 10-gaming comedy and more was another annoying user because he said that these users had every right to spam and accused MartyDoesn'tSay (A user who told these users to shut up) that he was bullying children and he would get arrested. sawnick10 soon got banned. So another user changed their name to Sawnick10 and started to act like him. And now shreik10 decided to make another comment: '''"'I 'HAV A PEACE TREETY: I WONT BREK THE ROOLES IF YOo STOP BULLYING ME, OK???" - shreik10. '''And some users agreed. But @TheRealFrancisPope got into a huge argument with shreik10 about him having alts: @TheRealFrancisPope: (In reference to shreik10 agreeing to stop breaking rules) "Yet, you still break the rules" shreik10: "HOW???" @TheRealFrancisPope: "Spamming the weirdest stuff" @TheRealFrancisPope: "Take it to the discord if you want to annoy people and spell bad." shreik10: "I DIDNT SPAM AT ALL AFTR THE PEECE TREETY" And this went on, and on, and on,... You get what I mean. This argument was 50% of the number of replies that replied to this comment.
