This is ridiculous that every newbie should get the ZOT. What in the world about this thread and poster deserves banning...?

Give FA a break. He's a newbie.

the poster signed up today, and is trying to slam a legitimate business. Sure, lots of people post identical kinds of articles, but on their first day? There has been a lot of zot stuff around lately. could this be more?

Has the poster responded to anything? Is it true about Conmcast? I don't have the answer, so i posed my question as to zot-worthiness.

You are right, newbies should not be indiscriminately zotted, and that isn't my intention.

If the newbie bothered to read the posting guidelines he would notice that the news forum is for published news items and not for vanity posts. The newbie would be better served by posting some comments to existing threads and participate in the discussion. Newbies that sign up just to post a thread that is not even an article, and then don't even bother to stick around to discuss the topic will often find themselves the object of scorn, derision, and yes even a healthy ZOT.

The thread and poster just appears a little suspicious and under the heightened FReeperland Defense Alert status, suspicious behavior will be scrutinized.

I'm pretty much of a "newbie" and I have no idea what you mean by ZOT by I don't think I've gotten it. I gather it's something negative -- which is also something I haven't gotten. Someone help with translation please?
