+waterloo.bob Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 After perusing over 50+ pages of unbelievable anecdotes regarding either questionable (forgot my pen) to undeniably false (cache was in possession of CO when Find was logged) there seemed, to me at least, that there should be a term to describe these people. I'm tossing Fuggle out there for your consideration.
+wmpastor Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 How about a name for the nefarious deed rather than a name for the person? Is one fishy find a reason to be branded for life?

+narcissa Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 There should be a name for people who obsess about other people's finds.
+wmpastor Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I bet wmpastor is a Fuggle. Are you giving odds? The last time a thread took a turn in this direction it was by you-know-who plus a NJ cacher now in Siberia and the thread was locked after two posts. Uh-huh! Edited May 19, 2015 by wmpastor
+wmpastor Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I bet wmpastor is a Fuggle. If I were my find count would be higher!
+wmpastor Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) There should be a name for people who obsess about other people's finds. There already is ... it's waterloo.bob! I mean if studying "50+ pages" qualifies for a diagnosis of "obsession." Hmmm...my post #2500 here is a quip I can be pleased with! Edited May 19, 2015 by wmpastor
+wmpastor Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 One should always consult the Urban Dictionary prior to *coining* a new word or phrase Maybe the Urban Dictionary *was* consulted and this thread is a clever fly-just-under-the-radar stunt!
knowschad Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 One should always consult the Urban Dictionary prior to *coining* a new word or phrase Haha! Good point! However, even before the UD definition, fuggle was the name of one type of hop used in beer brewing.
+waterloo.bob Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Fuggle: - a questionable find Fuggler: - one whose find is questionable @wmpastor - does 2500 posts count as an obsession? Edited May 19, 2015 by waterloo.bob
+narcissa Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Fuggle: - a questionable find Fuggler: - one whose find is questionable @wmpastor - does 2500 posts count as an obsession? Fugglophile: One who takes an unusual level of interest in other people's finds.
+narcissa Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Fugglopath. Fugglomaniac. Fugglocide. Fugglophobia.
+Mudfrog Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I think i'd go with something a little more to the point like this: A cacher who does this is a ,,, cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, clueless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ess, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey spit! Hallelujah! Holy sheet! Ooops, edited to add my smiley. In other words, i don't think a special title is needed for people who do this. Edited May 19, 2015 by Mudfrog
+J Grouchy Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) How about just using an already adequate term like...oh...I don't know... "dishonest"? * edited Edited May 19, 2015 by J Grouchy
+Dame Deco Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I reported this thread last night, no response from any moderator over 12 hours later. This kind of thread, made only to mock, does not help build a strong community. I really can't understand why the moderators allow it to continue. What's the point of a thread like this? It is only for mocking others. Reporting it did no good. Kinda sad--

Kinda sad-- I can certainly understand, and empathize with your point of view, but my sense is that the Moderators rarely step in unless the mocking/attacks are more personal in nature. In this case, the mocking seems to be more self inflicted on the OP, and self mocking doesn't appear to be a Forum violation.

Besides, I guess this thread was started to make fun of those who think they win anything by behaving the way they do. They may even think about their behavior ..... Naaaah... probably not...
+Dame Deco Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 OK. I understood that banning 3 members awhile back was all about making the forums a more welcoming place. Guess not--
Cascade Reviewer Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 The moderating team has been watching this thread since it started. I wanted to leave it for a little while, hoping that the thread might become productive. But it seems to just be mostly a back and forth of non-productive, slightly offensive (both non directly, and directly) posts. So I have decided to close it.
