Don't these people know their submissions aren't anonymous? Actually, now that I think about it, the person probably knows very well and is just being an idiot anyway.

This is really starting to bother me. I hope ANN manages to clean up all the false information and ban this idiot once and for all. Mad

He seems to make comments saying that ANN shouldn't let users add or edit episode titles.

Actually I can provide you the source of these users since it is quite annoying what there doing with the episode titles. It's one of the most popular fan forums for Naruto. and it's not one user but 10-14 of them.

It looked like ANN cleaned it up. But no sooner did they remove the false info, someone else apparently decided to post more of these idiotic episode titles. "Tsunade has a pe#!$." and "Kakashi Is Gang R@ped." Give me a freaking break!!!

It's sad, but there's a lot of petty idiots in this world, and having an open format means that both the well-intended and the spammers can contribute. wikis and forums have the same vandalism problems but implementing stricter controls would restrict good users at the same time as the spammers. All we can do is fix problems after the fact, just like in real life. Thankfully it wasn't too difficult to fix; we can get rid of all data submitted by a user in one fell swoop. But I was a bit surprised that the spamming was so coordinated (a dozen users or so).

Yup. I know the source to. Click [Please use direct URLs]/g53qh" target="_blank" class="postlink" rel="nofollow ugc">here to go to it.

That's where the talk of it starts. The actual editing starts on page 28 of that thread.

Appears the entire reason it started is that the episode titles for 200-201 have not been confirmed yet they remain listed. The Japanese television programming website that is most reliable for the upcoming Naruto episode information has been down since yesterday, before the rumored titles for 200-201 started circulating.

There really needs to be a lock on the episode title list for this series, even if it means people with useful information have to suffer. Just browsing through that thread, it seems people are uploading "themed" episode titles for YTMND sites.

I figured it might have been someone who frequents narutofan. All they seem to do there is post some random stupidity, either in the comments sections or in the forums. Rolling Eyes

They also apparently decided to vandalize the ANN entry in Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anime_News_Network&action=history

That's not true. One of the best examples of this is [Please use direct URLs]/fz39c" target="_blank" class="postlink" rel="nofollow ugc">Yasha's Bloodline of Tengu theory.

And then there's thing like the Debate corner, which can get some pretty intelligent debates going.

NF (their forums, at least) is harldy just random stupidity, speaking as a long-time lurker there.

It's unfair to generalise like that. Im a senior member of the Narutofan forums myself and i took no part in this abuse, nor do i (or many others for that matter) ever post just "random stupidity" there.

Here's a quote from one of them (from page 52 of the [Please use direct URLs]/g53qh" target="_blank" class="postlink" rel="nofollow ugc">thread):

ANN's info is fan submitted, therefore it is unreliable. Please just get this through your thick skulls already.

O rly? Wink Random stupidity? O rly?

People post fake titles to prove a point that ANN is fan-edited (although it did get out of hand but that's not the point). So anywho, you take away all the fake titles except 200 + 201? I don't get that. There is no PROOF those titles are true, but rather a fake.

So? Random stupidity? Please go visit this thread here which will have proof those titles are fake. Sorry, you loose.

[Please use direct URLs]/f5hak" target="_blank" class="postlink -wrap" rel="nofollow ugc">http://">[Please use direct URLs]/f5hak

Here you go. There is a lot of proof those two titles are fake.
