10 steps to "most hated" status in a forum

1. Take several days to find out who the most popular person in the forum is, and then take shots at their posts.

2. Say something you know is completely wrong just to stimulate a rush of feedback.

3. Spell every post you put up in "internetspeak," a.k.a. "Man vs. Wild is gr8 I watched the last episode lol omg!!! Manvswildfan1 u r sooo stupid! I kno more about the show than u!"

4. Perpously mispeel werds: this will make everyone in the group assume you are just some idiot posting, and will fuel their rage.

5. Stop arguing about what the forum is about and make a comment about something completely different- "I think the war in Iraq is great! George Bush is the best president this country has ever seen." (Sneak in a few misspellings.)

6. Post every fifteen minutes: When people feel your taking over their favorite forum- they will respond angrily.

7. Make outrageous claims that can be easily disputed: "I met Bear Grylls in a bar and he was only 5' 6. He's way smaller than he looks on TV."

8. Post pictures of yourself in the comments you make. This will give the other members an idea of who you are, and their insults will become more personalized.

9. No matter how logical the response is to your post act as if it is completely wrong. "There is no way that Bear Grylls was in the Military- If he was in special forces he would have some kind of tattoo."

10. Make outrageous claims about yourself and threaten other members to meet you at a specific location: "I go to UConn, if anyone wants to settle this outside you can come see me any time anywhere- I'm 6'4 230 and have a fifth degree blackbelt."
