Spam War- Facebook

SPAM WAR - Facebook

Breaking news from the web.......

SOMEWHERE IN FACEBOOK, 23 FEB, 8.16 pm. A great spam war has erupted between two pharmacy nottingahm in facebook. The calsualty was reported to be numbered at 67 posts and further comentators viewings are yet to be confirmed. An estimate 40+ facebooks user are especially affected by the constant inbox notification and are believe to be experiencing substantial lag and hang during the heat of the war.

The cause of the war has yet to be confirmed but sources say that it was due an infrigment of  copyright law that an anonymous facebook user illegally took the picture from another's profile and seek to tag to uninvolved facebook users. The annonymous user was known to the pulic only as " WINSTONG". If anyone has information of this person leading to the unmasking of the culprit's identity, please contact the necessary authority.

An immediate facebook user in the vicinity name SIAW ( identity hidden to protect person ) confess that after he saw the tag picture, he ran to the scene of the attack and predicted that a war will engulfed in a matter of cyber minutes. At the instance, he congratulate the WINSTONG and is believed to have colloborate with the perpetrator before the war.

During the onset, facebook user MISHEL try to defuse tension between the two opposing parties but to no avail. As the argument heated up, the spamming increased proportionally to the amount of comment stated. Innocent bystanders such as TIENL and VEEME was brought into the crossfire, leaving them daze and confuse at what the heck is goin on.

At 9.06 pm, the war was officially declared and some of the innocent bystander decide to take action.TIENL and SERAFINA tried to back down the war but their comments were overide by the streams of comments which come by 10 posts per minute. Finnaly, SERAFINA resorted to silence and TIENL went to shower. The whole scene lasted less than 10 posts.

Other report was that a Semenyih facebook user, SHIHO commented that his facebook was facng severe hang. This was believe to be cause by over commenting in facebook and limited university bandwidth which resulted in an effect called " HangBook Effect " theorised by someone's sudden idea. This effect was believe to be widespread and damaging as many parties reported drastic drop in speed and increase in jam.

Another spam witness name SULA told the reporter that his or her hotmail received 44 emails in less than 1 hour. This rate was a surprise considering humans dont write and send 44 emails in 1 hour. In an unconfirm report, another bystander KRAM reported that his yahoo received 69 mails during the whole event.

In addition, some commentators exclaimed their frustration of the stupidity of the war. Others commented that the war was a waste of time and too inboxing. Debates on whether is the war neccessary heighten and peaceful coexistence was proposed to end this war. Casualties reported were SHT,CY and NOV which were at the scene during that instance.

A pending question was " do we have to suffer? who is going to take the responsibility?" was on everyone's mind. Was peace just a wishful thinking?

At exactly 9.54pm, the WINSTONG pull out all his tags on everyone as the war comes to an end. Still feeling the aftermath of the tag and over-spamming, EAN accursed WINSTONG of being high on drugs. He proposed the treatment of over-the-facebook CPR? which one can logically assume to be able to treat such symptoms  (true or false or abstain). The observed symptoms were of mispelling 'ideas' to 'ideal ' , 'session' to 'section' and excessive usage of exclamation marks: "comment section stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" which he use to end the spam session.

Finnaly at the end, VEEMA came to the scene as peace observers to keep an eye on the situation after suffering severe attack of the inbox. For affected facebook users, email specialist KY recommended an clearing of mailbox to prevent futher mailbox explosion.

In the wake of the aftermath, commentator CY wrote:

"this picture has created so much of news in our class..or should i say someone's action? ;p "

So it is the picture's fault or someone's action that is the cause, no one will know.

Concluding the spam incident, EAN threaten to chill anyone who would disrupt facebook peace ever again. And in the end, there was peace.

His speech were:

 Ean Soo at 12:07am February 24
" Alrite. Let's just hv peace from now onwards. I think Mark is tired of being made fun of and Winstong needs some mental rest. Just chill ok (censored name)? Sorry about this, on behalf of whoever started this racket. Cheers to you all. Period "

Bravo!

Like a famous quote: " Picture tells a thousand spams", and thus this will be one of the scar pharm nottingahm facebook users will not forget for the rest of their semester.
