While looking through this month's NAG CD, I saw the song "timedog-mod-power-abuse-bishoptl-theme.mp3" and it gave me the idea to make a forum simulator.

I will start brainstorming next month after the game.dev comp.

The hardest part will be to procedurally generate threads and posts and make spammers and trolls believable, etc.

What do you all think? Any ideas?

I'd suggest using jibberish words and using emoticons to convey actual "poster" intent.

I think this is a really cool idea :)

Perhaps it could be used by the mods of this forum to teach spammer and trolls the effects of their actions and the work it takes to fix it. ;)

@dislecsia: that could work but the thing is how do I convey spam and trolls. Using "SPAM SPAM SPAM" and "TROLL TROLL TROLL"

But either way it would be cool to try and create procedurally generated threads.

I already have an idea for creating users, they will have stats, for instance like the chance they will post spam, troll etc. Now if the stat is low enough and their learning stat is high enough, reprimanding him will lower the offending stat. But I will try and figure the exact system out later.

What about randomly generated sentences? E.g. an insult generator, you would go say, "pronoun adjective noun conjunction adjective noun", e.g. "You irritating pack of blithering nerfherders!". You'd need lists of word types to pull random words from. So you start by working out a set of sentence types, and then look at how you might be able to combine them to form paragraphs. It'd then manage to make a certain amount of sense, even if the overall post is nonsensical.

Ask Miktar for a list of people banned, use their posts as "TROLL" posts.
