Lock n' Stock Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 You've probably all noticed that the GTA V trailer on Youtube has been invaded by a bunch of trolls and spammers, which makes me wonder whenever Rockstar should take action or not. The biggest offender is obviously "goivirealmadrid" who's been spamming the trailer for more than a month. That's not even the worst part. Today it seems as though he's created 6 new accounts to troll the comments page even more. What are your thoughts on this? Don't you think Rockstar need to take action? If any mods see this topic as pointless or already discussed before, feel free to lock it. This whole thing is very questionable though...

Lock n' Stock Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yeah, I guess you're right. Lol, I'm just a big curious about this whole thing. So this place gets spammed as well? I'm pretty new here so I didn't really know much about that lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Playert Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Well not as bad as on YT but surely a lot (of newbies) tend to make BS topics a lot and reply with a lot of BS as well, so, yeah mostly in the V section, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty new here so I didn't really know much about that lol. Don't worry about it, just ignore him, why are you reading the comments anyway? He may be an asshole with no life but you're giving him what he wants: attention. So just ignore him and he'll go away, he can't do that forever.

coin-god Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 You've probably all noticed that the GTA V trailer on Youtube has been invaded by a bunch of trolls and spammers... Nope. I don't watch it everyday. Seriously, who cares? YT has turned into a sh*thole anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lock n' Stock Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yeah, I guess you're right. It's been happening for about a week now. Even CoD fanboys are invading the trailer. In all seriousness though, maybe he still carries on because he keeps getting attention. Maybe I should have ignored him, though it's very questionable that he does this 24/7. It seems as though he doesn't even sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTNH Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 These people pretty much have no life what so ever. And with them it isn't even a phrase randomly thrown out. They obviously don't have too much time on their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D T Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Flag his comments as spam. I believe a comment needs to be flagged 3 or 4 times in order to be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-San-Andreas-man Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 That madrid guy is annoying, I go to look at comments and almost all of them are from that freak. And that "intelligentcodfanboy" which people think is an actual fanboy (Sorry, not people, idiots). This is what happens with 2 months of no info I guess lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebby Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I thought the worse was "ignorantcodfanboy" or whatever his user name is.. Anyway's, I don't think this is that necessary of a topic because we're technically bad-mouthing the people who troll, which in the end make's us no better than them.

Lock n' Stock Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) And that "intelligentcodfanboy" which people think is an actual fanboy (Sorry, not people, idiots). Oh yeah, him. That guy is an asshole. I love how he tries to look intellegent by using good punctuation and spelling. Seriously though, how can you be an "intellegent" fanboy? Fanboys are nowhere near intellegent. Flag his comments as spam. I believe a comment needs to be flagged 3 or 4 times in order to be removed. His comments mostly do get marked as spam, but since he posts so frequently it gives you an endless list of flagged comments. For whatever reason, he just won't stop.

ccrogers15 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Really? Youtube is an external site from rockstar. Yea, its there channel. But who cares.

Like at GTAForums.com. <smokes pipe and reads The Times> Oh yeah, most definitely. Nowadays it's just full of fanboys, thumbs-up whores, racists and spammers. Quite frankly, YouTube couldn't care less about the behaviour of it's users. Really? Youtube is an external site from rockstar. Yea, its there channel. But who cares. They dont care, and theres to many spammers for them to take action on all of them. Why worry anyways? Indeed. I guess it's not a big deal really. Just wanted to hear your thoughts. It would take them ages to deal with all those accounts. Just hoping it doesn't happen with the next trailer.

senor_huevos_benedicto Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I wouldn't worry about it and just stick to watching what Rockstar put up - it'll never be legit if it isn't on their channel first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to know what's even crazier? The fact that he's created 9 fake accounts in 1 day to spam the trailer even more, which doesn't even seem possible conisdering you can only use 1 account for your e-mail address. The only other explaination is that some other people have created accounts to act just like him, or if they're spambots. No one can possibly be that much of a low-life to create different e-mail addresses to use like 10 different accounts at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveMediaExecutive Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Just checked out the comments section myself, it seems to have deteriorated into mentioning Call of Duty in every post and Skyrim fans saying their game is superior, the good news is the trailer has gotten over 11 Million views. EDIT: Someone seems to have done the same on the Max Payne 3 video as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) So lame people troll, what's new?? Honestly, Rockstar aren't bothered I'm sure, they'd be more bothered if it happened on their official web page comments where they tend to address input more officially. I like how Social Club seems much more orderly for Rockstar's fanbase. Skyrim is only better if that is your type of game, COD is only better if that's your preferred game, in other words RPG or FPS versus GTA, in a league all it's own!!
