Osu is to slow and to white not enough talent in the big ten. Why are so many Midwestern players going to south . I could care less if you down vote I have a life most you don't have anything to do with yourselves. Get a real life.
Did you really say OSU is too white...wow cannot believe you would say something like that. If you're gonna say things like that, then I'm glad you're leavin this board!

Thanks to Helmet Sticker voting, there's no reason to really ban anyone anymore as democracy will effectively take care of that. He's at -12 now, which means he can't even create forum topics anymore. If he falls below -50, he will no longer be able to comment.
Jason, if he can't comment anymore after -50 Helmet Stickers, does that ban his IP address as well so that he doesn't make another account? We could have an OSUFORLIFE 2.0 among us and not know it.

Hey guys, don't bother with this troll. This is the jackass that misread a comment of mine, thought it was directed at him, called me a loser and challenged me to address him in his native language, Hebrew. I tried to contact him twice to correct the problem and he never replied back. I vote for the ban hammer for this racist loser troll. And in case he wants it in Hebrew again, here it is:

There some much people who have some hatred. You hate some you down vote them. What are people in grade school. I thing I know there so many unhappy people on this board. PsU has a 12-0 team and so many people mad at them and life.
Considering that you combined that grammar and spelling with racism and a thread titled "thank you all for screwing me", I would argue that is you, not I, that is in grade school.
Northbrook, just gave you a helmet sticker. This was the first comment I noticed this morning, and now the are about 120 more comments, and it still makes me giggle. With all the down votes I think it's gone unnoticed, but I appreciate your welcoming attitude. And if I'm ever gonna quit the forum, I'll make sure I stick around for espresso before I do (& then I'll announce it to everyone so I feel special).
Put away the razor man. You shouldn't let a message board get to you. Walk away and come back when you are of a clear mind. . . . or don't, whatever, it's just an internet forum.

Ahh, I remember that guy. While the online personalities appear different, their reactions are basically the same. Get uber-defensive, start name calling, which essentially leads to keyboard fights, and then tell everyone that he is done with the boards forever (but said in a Squints from The Sandlot sort of way).
He has to announce that he's leaving? LAME!!! No one cares if you're going to cry and bitch because you get down voted and then say those who down voted you are in grade school? The voting system on this site doesn't matter it's not going to help you in real life, if you're going to throw a tantrum about voting on a website, then you're the one who seems like they are in grade school. Please grow up and stop this shit.
I agree with you Urban..I think this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black........Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out of this forum osu
Battles are sometimes won by generals; wars are nearly always won by sergeants and privates. Football is no different, the guys down in the trenches win the games, not the coach.
Relax guys. Based on his continuous lack of familiarity with the English language he is obviously a WalMart wolverine troll. Or I could be wrong and the racism could indicate an SEC troll. Either way go forth in peace to troll no longer
Not wolverines. I theorize that he came here with an abnoxiously generic OSU screenname to cover up for these type of posts: "For VT, insiders are stating we will not get left behind. I think SEC and Big 12 will be our only options if ACC dies. I want nothing to do with Big 12."
muahahaha that is hilarious. So butthurt over downvotes. Who cares. N osu will win a title soonwhether saban is in bama or coaching the browns. I pray for the latter lol
This guy is amusing - what's funny is the guy started over 20 threads in a week's time. He stated a threads asking about the scores of some of the hs games...uh ok...you couldn't find this out by doing an interenet search rather than creating a thread about it? The one that really got me is he seemed to actually beleive Gruden was going to be a part owner of the Browns and take the HC postion at TN. I wonder if someone forget to take their meds? Good luck buddy! I'm sure we'll all miss your insightful threads about nothing.
2012 Beat Michigan Tail gate: UFM: "Let’s beat the sh*t out of Michigan, have a good night."
I think both. Started as justice served and then he became a victim of the helmet sticker, and then started this topic and got some more justice (and then a little more victim of the helmet sticker). Only thing I down voted him for was his GTech thread comments to 703 about being stupid, which really came out of nowhere because he was pissed people were not agreeing with him. Rather amusing.
He really irked me when he decided to start the name calling (he's done it with more than me). I'll admit I got a little downvote happy with him, but I feel most of the downvotes I made were justified.

I've been trying to ignore this topic since I first saw it this morning, but I figured it'd be best said here. It's one thing to be annoyed that someone oversaturates the forums with repetitive topics, and annoys the commentariat with bad English (from what I've heard, English isn't his first language). I understand the rampant downvoting from some of his comments here--they more than deserve it--but OSUFORLIFE has been systematically downvoted for providing an opinion because of his handle.
true but still no reason to go crazy over it. Just walk away. I tried to logically comment on another website about another sport and the idiots there just ridicule you and tag team you until you have no desire to post anything. They refuse to accept anyones opinion unless they know you. This was far from anything like that.
OSUFORLIFE shouldn't have been downvoted like that but I have witnessed far worst.
And thus the double edge sword of the downvote. It's not used as intended, it is used to show that you don't agree or don't like the comment. It also stifles people from engaging in open dialog because if you have a differing opinion, you may get a downvote. Now everything is vanilla.
I don't know that everything's vanilla, I just think that people are getting infuriated because of senseless downvoting. Seems like OSUFORLIFE's been somewhat restored, though; he was waaaay lower than the 40 he's currently at.
Fair warning: the staff will punish systematic downvoters (not intended at you, Oyster).
Haha, no even Jason mentioned that he does that a while back.
I love the voting system, I just think that some people don't get when it is and isn't appropriate. I also think there's a degree of groupthink on downvoting, like, "Oh this has 10 downvotes, therefore I need to downvote"; even if it's merely a Michigan fan trying to bring up a valid, if contrarian, point.
Buck-I.8: you're mixing possibly food-related metaphors in an unappetizing way, although maybe you can convince me otherwise. How do we tastefully combine vanilla (bean or extract) with free range meat/poultry? Here's a recipe for Vanilla Chicken but it looks kinda yucky.
I'd mix vanilla and chicken one of 2 ways if I had to, just based on traditional flavor mixing:
1. Mix vanilla, balsamic vinegar, and maybe some other sweeter ingredients, glaze chicken after a light brown sugar dry rub.
2. Mix vanilla extract with chillies, chili powder, cayenne pepper, etc, glaze, and serve with some fort of fruit-integration (seasoned mangoes, grated orange rind, coconut)
Buck-I.8: I'm impressed, those flavor combinations do seem like they might work. Whenever the 11W summer food festival happens, you should be the head indoor chef and I will be the head outdoor chef (smoker, charcoal and gas grills).
thats exactly why im here. love this site. you go on ESPiN OR CBSec and thats all anyone wants to do is say things that make no sense and this guy made no sense
I dont know karate but i do know crazy and i'm not afraid to use it.

Completely agree. While he did deserve downvotes sometimes, it is obvious that some people had it out for him and were downvoting no matter what he posted. Not that this meltdown helps his case.
"Because the rules won't let you go for three." - Woody Hayes
THE Ohio State University
Even though I don't really know what happened here, I've been on boards like this one for around 15 years now, and therefore know exactly what happened here.
Something has got to be wrong with this sticker system if his total is still positive. I swear I looked yesterday evening and he was at like -275 stickers, yet the guy is still posting. I'm probably wrong and misinterpreted the data, but for goodness sake there has been a tidal wave of downvotes - how much more could it possibly take?
Hodge: I definitely lean toward the "live and let live" faction. I also like to see the 11W staff corrections on the massive downvotes. Apparently, OSUFORLIFE is learning English. He's now gone off the deep end (or was trolling all along), but I was willing to cut him quite a bit of slack before today.
But what if 10 or 12 OSUFORLIFEs all joined at the same time and really started spamming the ACTIVE IN THE FORUM feature?
I was avoiding this topic all day because I thought it was a genuine "thank you" for some kind of sick gang bang.....only to be disappointed that its actually a sarcastic "thank you" for a gang down vote.
"I'm One Bad Buckeye, and I approve this message."
Don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya! Regardless of the past down votes he has obviously made his bed with the comments above. Enjoy laying in it!
IIRC, he said he lives in Isreal and English is his fourth language or something, hence the grammatical mistakes. I think that people were downvoting based on a simple misunderstanding of the English language without knowing his backstory, he got pissed off, and then this happened.
Now, does he deserve to be banned after this? Well, yeah, but it looks like he's leaving anyways, so it doesn't really matter. The upvote/downvote system definitely has its good points, but things go sour when people start actually giving a damn about their karma totals.
But whatever, Go Bucks!
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.
the content was pretty bad. but when I have to stop multiple times and think about what I'm reading in a 10-15 word sentence because of how poorly it was written..that does not bode well for you.
That being said, when I go to my high-level Spanish classes two times a week, I can't just tell people that it's not my first language, and make my mistakes better. It's communication
I'm damn thankful that people don't downvote out of disagreement as much as they could, because I can be pretty extreme on some issues.
Tha being said, I don't downvote based on differing opinion. If comments are gratuitous, meanspirited, redundant, trolling, and the like, I'll downvote. But to be honest, I try to keep it to a minumum, because I rarely upvote
Why did I get so down voted? I didnt "systematic downvote." The only thing I downvoted was the post about how we are slow because we are white or whatever. I was just stating that he has been downvoted into the negatives by all of us.
So according to Steensn, OSUFORLIFE is the winner of the Internet right? That one fateful night when we all got really bored and Steensn so graciously let us in on a little secret that down voting is the new upvoting :)

OSU is so slow, yet I remember Brown returning a punt against Wisconsin in person, bursting past defends as if they were turtles. Not sure what you mean by slow but I'm sure there are some B1G schools that would like those slow OSU players you refer too. Moreover, what does race have to do with talent. Nothing.
Did you know that if I click the downvote button I don't have a life but if I click the upvote button I do. You're sipping from both ends of the strawn with that comment.
I could point out every little detail about this guy other post but its not even worth it. At least we know now that their won't be any succinit forum topics anymore.

Buck-I.8: you're mixing possibly food-related metaphors in an unappetizing way, although maybe you can convince me otherwise. How do we tastefully combine vanilla (bean or extract) with free range meat/poultry? Here's a recipe for Vanilla Chicken but it looks kinda yucky.
I'd mix vanilla and chicken one of 2 ways if I had to, just based on traditional flavor mixing:
1. Mix vanilla, balsamic vinegar, and maybe some other sweeter ingredients, glaze chicken after a light brown sugar dry rub.
2. Mix vanilla extract with chillies, chili powder, cayenne pepper, etc, glaze, and serve with some fort of fruit-integration (seasoned mangoes, grated orange rind, coconut)
Depends on preference
Buck-I.8: I'm impressed, those flavor combinations do seem like they might work. Whenever the 11W summer food festival happens, you should be the head indoor chef and I will be the head outdoor chef (smoker, charcoal and gas grills).
I would gladly do that. I contemplate dropping out in favor of culinary school every day
I echo that sentiment. Cooking French food with my girlfriend is one of the best parts of my day.
If you are in the mood for another weird culinary adventure, I recently crusted porkchops with an oatmeal cookie crust. Pretty tasty.

Ew, vanilla douche chicken? disgusting!

I dont know karate but i do know crazy and i'm not afraid to use it.

Completely agree. While he did deserve downvotes sometimes, it is obvious that some people had it out for him and were downvoting no matter what he posted. Not that this meltdown helps his case.

I agree Hodge . I think he's just a kid like Drewbuckeye.

Even though I don't really know what happened here, I've been on boards like this one for around 15 years now, and therefore know exactly what happened here.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
This guy has gone from over 200 helmet stickers to under 50 in the last 6 hours. No more comments from this troll!
Nah, I think commenting gets cut off at something like -50. 50 is the level needed to vote on comments.

Good call Alhan, I guess OSUFORLIFE lives!!! (For now.)
Something has got to be wrong with this sticker system if his total is still positive. I swear I looked yesterday evening and he was at like -275 stickers, yet the guy is still posting. I'm probably wrong and misinterpreted the data, but for goodness sake there has been a tidal wave of downvotes - how much more could it possibly take?
As I said above, the staff will identify systematic downvoters and correct totals. They will also penalize those that are systematically downvoting.
I think they caught on to the "ban OSUFORLIFE by downvote" movement, and corrected it.
Aha. Makes sense.
Hodge: I definitely lean toward the "live and let live" faction. I also like to see the 11W staff corrections on the massive downvotes. Apparently, OSUFORLIFE is learning English. He's now gone off the deep end (or was trolling all along), but I was willing to cut him quite a bit of slack before today.
But what if 10 or 12 OSUFORLIFEs all joined at the same time and really started spamming the ACTIVE IN THE FORUM feature?
DOWNVOTEMAGEDDON! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

I was avoiding this topic all day because I thought it was a genuine "thank you" for some kind of sick gang bang.....only to be disappointed that its actually a sarcastic "thank you" for a gang down vote.
"I'm One Bad Buckeye, and I approve this message."
What a shame...really wanted to hang out with him at the 11W potluck on Friday.
You guys are having a potluck Friday? Did anybody think it would nice to tell me?
Well that was what he told me.....
i hope he gets the banhammer.... and fyi urbs has a winning record against saban. just thought id let u know
mark may wins douchebag of the year... again
Don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya! Regardless of the past down votes he has obviously made his bed with the comments above. Enjoy laying in it!
I'm surprised I haven't seen this meme yet: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/downvoting-roman-commodus-thumbsdown
IIRC, he said he lives in Isreal and English is his fourth language or something, hence the grammatical mistakes. I think that people were downvoting based on a simple misunderstanding of the English language without knowing his backstory, he got pissed off, and then this happened.
Now, does he deserve to be banned after this? Well, yeah, but it looks like he's leaving anyways, so it doesn't really matter. The upvote/downvote system definitely has its good points, but things go sour when people start actually giving a damn about their karma totals.
But whatever, Go Bucks!
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.
I'm willing to bet that more people have been downvoting him over the content of his messages rather than the grammatical errors.

the content was pretty bad. but when I have to stop multiple times and think about what I'm reading in a 10-15 word sentence because of how poorly it was written..that does not bode well for you.
FWIW: He said he was from Israel, but he said he currently lives in Tennessee.
Has he matriculated at Troll So Hard University?
It seems he has a Masters degree from there.
How dare you confuse the Univerity of Tennessee with those vile savages at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa?

I only downvote based on content.
That being said, when I go to my high-level Spanish classes two times a week, I can't just tell people that it's not my first language, and make my mistakes better. It's communication
Content that breaks the rules for posting, or content that you may not necessarily agree with?
There is a big difference.
I'm damn thankful that people don't downvote out of disagreement as much as they could, because I can be pretty extreme on some issues.
Tha being said, I don't downvote based on differing opinion. If comments are gratuitous, meanspirited, redundant, trolling, and the like, I'll downvote. But to be honest, I try to keep it to a minumum, because I rarely upvote
His personal attacks did not help his cause.
FWIW, he said he lives between Hendersonville, Tennessee, and Goodlettsville, Tennessee.
Edit: Sorry Tennbuckeye, I didn't see that you already posted that.
Can we send him off with the Ohio State FOX robot action figure as a consolation prize?
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
It was the personal attacks & unwillingness to debate a point in a civil manner that caused me to finally down vote him.

lol, good riddance. No longer will we have 10 new threads starting each day that all look like they were written by a 4 year old.
This is basically all I have to say.
Hey guys, I think OSU4Life is getting downvoted.

We successfully have put him into negative helmet stickers.
See "systematic downvoting", the staff can tell if you're doing it.
Why did I get so down voted? I didnt "systematic downvote." The only thing I downvoted was the post about how we are slow because we are white or whatever. I was just stating that he has been downvoted into the negatives by all of us.
Come on people! lol
I think people inferred that you did based on your comment; for what it's worth, I didn't downvote you since I couldn't tell if you did or not.
So according to Steensn, OSUFORLIFE is the winner of the Internet right? That one fateful night when we all got really bored and Steensn so graciously let us in on a little secret that down voting is the new upvoting :)
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
FWIW tenyearwar puts this troll to shame. He had like -300 helmet stickers last time I checked
-32 helmet stickers! Wow,...he/she needs to start over and try again...
I'm starting to think that OSUFORLIFE is really this guy....
I'll never understand why people get so emotional over message boards.
Dang... I even tried to ask for downvotes I only got like 20 tops for each post and my post disappeared. This guy is good...
Yikes . . .

Battles are sometimes won by generals; wars are nearly always won by sergeants and privates. Football is no different, the guys down in the trenches win the games, not the coach.
I leave to go down to Tenn, don't get back on for a day and all hell breaks loose.
OSU is so slow, yet I remember Brown returning a punt against Wisconsin in person, bursting past defends as if they were turtles. Not sure what you mean by slow but I'm sure there are some B1G schools that would like those slow OSU players you refer too. Moreover, what does race have to do with talent. Nothing.
Did you know that if I click the downvote button I don't have a life but if I click the upvote button I do. You're sipping from both ends of the strawn with that comment.
I could point out every little detail about this guy other post but its not even worth it. At least we know now that their won't be any succinit forum topics anymore.

Has anyone looked at his profile? Yesterday it said -55 helmet stickers, now he is somehow up to 97?!?
Somebody methodically went through and upvoted every one of his comments, raising him back into the black. Do not do that again, person that knows who she/he is.
In other news, I'm pretty sure eagle_eye is also osuforlife.
