"I was zotted and came back, then zotted again and came back, then hit again and came back and finally just got bored with the constantly hypocritical stances and didn't return after my last zot. The interesting thing is that JR tipped his hand in zotting me. I know for a fact that he's using a language analyzer program, as my IP was continually changing thanks to a few perks I have from my employer."
This is something I suggested to someone at FR years ago. People use language in a way that is characteristic to them. With enough examples, it’s possible to spot further examples with a pretty good reliability. FR has a huge database that would be excellent for data mining.
You’ve been here 8 years and don’t know what ‘zot’ means?
Zotted = banned.
Cool. When you wake up, you might be interested in reading the article excerpted here.
Rest well on your mil ration of z's.
I have to be up in an hour and a half. I’ll drink with you ... cuz it might be a long day.
A zot occurs when a troublesome poster, usually a newby troll(though there may be some long time freeper who gets huffy and decide he/she wants to leave the site in a spectacular fashion), gets kicked off the site. Yet, the fun occurs when wise posters wish to “toy” with such a poster for a little bit, hence the appearance of pictures of “viking kitties” and bolts of lightning; wise ass retorts to such an one may also be posted...before the admin mods boots the miscreant into the fiery liberal internet abyss!
Awwww! Come on! You’re takin’ all the fun out of it.
Could end up a bit rough around the edges.
Bona fide LOL
I can’t believe I’m IBTZ.
Dees is TOS on feets......
DAMN you!!!! Now the secret’s out!!!! Ever hear of “OPSEC”????
Now the drones will be scouring the central California countryside searching for this facility. They’re probably tracking that nice young lady as we speak......
“What a gyp.....”
Zotted = banned."
Wellllllllllllllllllllll..........not necessarily, no. It usually means the thread gets yanked (it's too stupid or offensive or, sometimes, just a 'repeat' of another thread).
Doesn't necessarily mean the poster is actually "banned".
It’s made by the same folks who brought out the Orgasmatron.
Amazing how the Leftists DUmmies think they are so clever and have to attribute some super technology as the reason why they are "caught out".
—what is a language analyzer?—
It’s a thing that notices when people post the F word.
A zot is what happens when someone who effectively expresses an opinion contrary to that of some long time freeper who gets huffy and decides he/she wants the person who holds the contrarian opinion and is not convinced by the long-time freepers brilliant arguments to leave the site in a spectacular fashion.
Usually the “zot” is preceeded by the offending poster being called newbie, n00b, troll, etc. by the long-time freepers who have decided to get together and alert the mods that the troublesome poster is not agreeing with them.
Mods, see about this post: 79. Deal with this noobie.
