Parsad Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Some guy using the name "Ben Dover" sent me this angry message today: Fuck you and forcing people to pay $50 to sign up for a membership on a god damn internet forum After your hilariously failed career as an "investor", you clearly are down on your luck and have to resort to bilking people for $$ on an internet forum. Not only are you a shitty investor, you're completely oblivious of sound business practices and are all but ensuring the death of this website. Pathetic loser. May God have mercy on your dumbfuck soul. Genius used his Goldman email address: GFY@gs.com And I'm the pathetic loser, eh! Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 I sent this reply to him, but the message got kicked back. Maybe he was fired today! Thank you for the kind message and putting your Goldman address in the email! I’ll be sending a message to HR. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I don’t even know where to begin. $50? Really? But hey, if a $50 fee is keeping idiots like that off this board… well, that is priceless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crs223 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 GFY probably stands for “go fuck yourself”. I love how he hates your guts… but desperately want to join your forum! ACCESS DENIED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I get the same kind of emails from some guy j.powell@frb.gov If this forum is eliciting such a desperate response (over 50 bucks? Really?) then we're doing something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saluki Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Twitter is free and it's a cesspool. I'm glad there is a small fee that cuts out 95% of the trolls and wallstreetbets crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad there is a small fee that cuts out 95% of the trolls and wallstreetbets crowd. The fee serves two-fold, as I don't need it because the Adsense revenue covers operating costs. The first is as you said, to keep the trolls out and inform me of who is joining. Can you imagine if emails and tweets cost $0.00001? It would get rid of all of the spammers and junk emails/texts! The second is because worthwhile things deserve a sacrifice. I don't know how many people I've talked to about investing because they asked. When I tell them exactly what they need to read, maybe 1% actually get a copy or buy The Intelligent Investor or any other book I recommend. I remember spending money I didn't have to learn about investing...the time...effort...etc. If you aren't willing to make that modest sacrifice, then maybe you just don't deserve it. That guy, like most trolls, just wants to be given everything. His parents did a horrible job and probably spoiled him rotten. Life and other people owe you nothing! Cheers!

DooDiligence Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) The devs do not make it easy to enable this feature. It seems to be a ranking system that's customizable so that a users reputation can be enhanced or dinged based on "reactions". https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/440458-how-do-you-enable-reactions-on-posts/ I'm betting that there might be a simpler invision forum plugin to allow upvote/downvote of posts.

LC Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Does it have to do with the user "group" you belong to?
