Fark: Difference between revisions

* [[Flame Bait]]: The administrators (who approve the headlines) are mostly conservative. The readers are mostly liberal. What happens is exactly what you'd suspect.

** As of the most recent reset the admins and the readers are now both mostly liberal (except for Drew himself that is).

* [[Here Comes the Science!]]: Ben Affleck did an ad in the UK that featured the line, "Here comes the SCIENCE!" Fark got hold of it and a meme was born and that meme grew up and became a <s>marine biologist</s> [[Trope Namer]].

* [[Human Interest Story]]: Usually accompanied by a "Sappy" tag and a headline mentioning [[Sand in My Eyes|how dusty it is in here]].

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]] / [[Gannon Banned]]: Averted; the [[Hive Mind]] over that way doesn't much care if you call them "farkers" or "Farkers."

** On the other hand, the [[Grammar Nazi|Grammar Nazis]] will hammer poorly spelled headlines.

* [[Troll]]: Notable for its collection of very bizarre trolls. One speaks in barely-understandable [[Engrish]] while yelling "LAUGHTER O EL", another makes over-the-top conservative rants filled with hidden references pertaining to a random theme (girl bands, [[Star Trek]] episodes, etc.), yet another posts nothing but the word "APPROVES", followed by a link to a [[Shock Site]] that would make the Goatse guy blush. One more spends an entire day every few weeks writing a topic-specific limerick in every comments thread slated for the main front page. Another goes into every gun thread and tells the thread exactly how he plans to troll the thread and still gets bites.

** And then, of course, there's Bevets, who goes into every thread tangentially related to evolution, posts a ton of pro-creationism quotes, and leaves. Though, thanks to [[Poe's Law]], it's not known whether he's a troll or an actual proponent of what he espouses. Some even question whether he's a human or just a [[Turing Test|quote mine-spewing bot]].
