RealGM

Hi guys,

First off, I just want to say that with the firing of Dumars, I hope you guys hire a quality and competent GM to help propel the Pistons franchise into a playoff team built around Drummond. And I wish you all the best of luck.

With that being said, does anyone remember the name of the user who had the most posts on RealGM. He/she used to post on the Pistons board, in this news thread on his/her own a few years back I think? Does anyone remember him/her, and username? I'm just really curious, and it's bothering me because I can't remember the name of that person.

Thanks guys.

I believe it was Nasty Daddy, haven't seen him in years though

Did he get banned for posting too much? I thought I remember it that way. He did have an unbelievably high number of posts though. Maybe he was secretly a machine.

Creating a thread and posting never ending stories in it us an easy way to "post pad".

Back in the day 1000 posts made you a Real GM...now I couldn't tell you what it takes.

Having artificial ranks encourages spamming IMO.

And introducing And 1s at some random point in time means you can't use that as a basis for which posters are great and who isn't.

At the end of the day you tend to remember those you agree with a lot AND disagree with a lot...and you take that bias into every thread.

He didn't get banned - He was just told he wasn't allowed to continue his news threads and he apparently got angry (if robots can produce emotive responses) and quit this site cold turkey.

A math problem for anyone who is interested:

Jbanter has been a member of RealGM since 2009. He just made his 1st post. At this rate, how many years will it take jbanter to overtake NastyDaddy's post count?

5 years for 1 post #:-S ... NastyDaddy has 121442 posts. 121442*5 = 607,210 = he'll die first.

I really wonder why we show post counts. You can't discourage post padding while rewarding higher counts with different titles.

Sure you can.

Just suspend and ban people who post-pad, something the other mods and I never did with Nastydaddy.

I judge posters by content, personally. I don't care if you have 20K posts and several thousand And1's. Either your posts are good or they aren't.

As I said earlier, he was never banned. His thread was locked when mods and I (this was before I retired) decided enough was enough, as his threads were carrying his post count into the stratosphere despite never being read and it was becoming a bit of a joke among other posters.

I didn't expect him to leave the site the moment the thread was locked, but that is what happened. I do sometimes wonder what became of him. Nasty, if you're still out there, let us know...

I don't believe he's even visited the site in a few years, though, if memory serves.

Wow you've waited 5 years to make your first post, I hope it was all you expected it to be!

He's a master of delayed gratification. He's still waiting to see what all this "youtube stuff" is about.

Well said, some posters were offended with the volume of posts nasty daddy had.. but he had a passion for the team... if you were offended it would have been easy to place him on ignore or simply scroll past his posts... I found certain value with selectively scanning for content.

I do miss being able to read every bit Pistons info in 1 place and in a few mins be caught up with everything Pistons. I am one of those fans who appreciated his work. He was CNN for everything Pistons.

I wasn't around back then, but I guess you could say the Pistons were his Flight 370.

Haha. I don't think any of us will live to find out.

Not sure about YouTube but "other tubes" are more gratifying. No delays too. To be honest, I was surprised to see that was my first post too. I thought I posted at least once.

5 year wait deserves an AND1 simply for the amount of patience that must have taken

Maybe it's like that eddy murphy movie where each post removes one day of his life lol
