Her stats were only lowered because it was pointed out that she was caught and now she’s being a bit more careful. But that hasn’t stopped her, it’s merely slowed her down for the time being! More to come, including links to how she’s cheating.

Oh, here’s how she does it.

Find old questions that are ready to go into voting, leave a response. Start voting for yourself and bring out a few multiple Id's and goodness, overnight, you get several best answers and an accumulation of points. Now if you go to her 360, she has an entire segment about game pointing. Notice that this underhanded way of game pointing isn't mentioned. I guess that makes it okay? Her percentages alone, which are impossible to get without cheating, speaks for itself.

And let’s not forget that hunting for answers that only have one response but are almost ready to go into voting, makes it so much easier. Just click on her, push refresh and watch those points appear!

Here's todays update. My Gawd, I can't believe how many BA's she's accumulated in LESS than 11 hours. She's answered five more questions and has "21" more BA's... Count 'em. 21!!!!

Answer 1

And she thinks no one would notice! Just like a low life lib! I find her the least credible person on here. Anyone who has to cheat like that is certainly a dumbass.

Answer 2

My first response to this was going to be: Does ANYONE really care about this stuff? But, then I realized that you would not have asked the question if this "point gaming" stuff was not really on your mind. To that I say: GET A LIFE!!!

When I first connected to Y!A, over a year ago, I paid a lot of attention to my "points", my BAs, and the like. Then I realized that was silly, and not worth my time. I try to answer well most of the time, but sometimes go for "funny" and sometimes just respond from the "gut". I am very proud if I receive a BA from someone I admire, or to a question that I considered "important"---or if I worked really hard on the answer, or if it comes from someone of a different political leaning. That's about the extent of it!

I have, on and off, been a "Top Contributor"--I don't know "how" that designation is decided, and really don't care to find out. If I am, I am. If I'm not, I'm not. Oh well.....

I stay right around 11% in the BA department. That's fine with me...why wouldn't it be? I have other thngs going on in my life, and this Y!A is #1) a pleasant diversion when I'm winding down after work, before I can go to sleeep, and #2) a place to put questions when I don't have the time or the inclination to go to the library or otherwise "look it up". It's a great place to find a "lost" recipe, or computer help. It has also helped me to realize how bad our educational system is, and how easily minds can be "turned" by loud and lousy commentators.


I'm sorry, but I just think that trying to "shut someone down" is a form of censorship, a waste of time, a measure of the fear you feel for that persons' writings, I would, personally, hate it if all respondents to a question completely agreed with me: HOW BORING!!

Just don't remove my account and I'll be happy!!!

Answer 3

I don't know for sure, of course, but it could be the person you describe is a psychopath. If so, you might get some justice by having points taken away, but the person will do the same thing again.

# 1. Superficial charm and/or average intelligence.
# 2. Absence of delusions and other signs of irrational thinking.
# 3. Absence of nervousness or neurotic manifestations.
# 4. Unreliability.
# 5. Untruthfulness and insincerity.
# 6. Lack of remorse or shame.
# 7. Antisocial behavior without apparent compunction.
# 8. Poor judgment and failure to learn from experience
* 9. Pathological egocentricity and incapacity to love.
* 10. General poverty in major affective reactions.
* 11. Specific loss of insight.
* 12. Unresponsiveness in general interpersonal relations.
* 13. Fantastic and uninviting behavior with drink, and sometimes without.
* 14. Suicide threats rarely carried out.
* 15. Sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated.
* 16. Failure to follow any life plan.

"It has been shown that punishment and behavior modification techniques do not improve the behavior of a psychopath. They have been regularly observed to respond to both by becoming more cunning and hiding their behavior better. It has been suggested that traditional therapeutic approaches actually make them, if not worse, then far more adept at manipulating others and concealing their behavior. They are generally considered to be not only incurable but also untreatable.

Psychopaths also have a markedly distorted sense of the potential consequences of their actions, not only for others, but also for themselves. They do not, for example, deeply recognize the risk of being caught, disbelieved or injured as a result of their behaviour."

Answer 4

Gasp! But - but - but...EVERYONE knows that a liberal would NEVER cheat....only evil conservatives would stoop to such a level!

I don't get the fascination, personally - it's not like the points actually MEAN anything...you don't get money or prizes, so why bother?

I admit, I've had more than one account in the past, but it was more trouble than it was worth. And I certainly didn't bother coming to Answers and trying to up my points. That just seems like an awful lot of effort for nothing.

But I have been wondering what is going on w/the leader list myself - Brian is #1, then he's not even in the top 10, then back to #1.

Answer 5

Are you specific that he or she isn't a real chief ? a actual politic chief ! i think of and that i`m specific that the call and profile of this answerer is a Nikname and a pretend profile of great president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ! little question , he`s the answerer and a real chief !

Answer 6

I've seen Brian only a couple of times, and from what I've seen his answers aren't bad.
I've never seen beach bum though.

But does it really matter? I base somebody's credibility off of the current answer and maybe past answers. I don't pay attention to points.

Answer 7

We really need to get a life. I often wondered about all of that, but it is not nearly as important as stopping the Left from destroying our country! They have destroyed enough countries without adding the USA to the list!

Answer 8

I rarely see a BeachBum answer but when I do run across her answers I don't find them all that terrific. I am always suspect of a Top Contributor whose answers and questions are 'private'. I suspect--one questioner, one answerer and mutual favors.

Answer 9

NOTE TO ALL -- BE WARY OF BEACHBUM .

I answered ONE of her questions . ONE . I gave a simple innocuous answer and then explained how I found it difficult to go further because of a 'certain users' appearance of cheating . I never said it was her , but she took it that way and then devoted a Bash Blog to me .
The goofy thing is , she posted my answer to her Q on that blog and after reading and re-reading it numerous times I can't see any reason to go off the deep end and devote an entire blog to bash ONE guy who answered ONE question .

I never really knew her prior to this . I had heard she was witch-like and abusive . I had also heard she was a cheater . But I didn't know . I did look into how she was getting INCREDIBLE numbers of points and BA . . . .. .IMPOSSIBLE . Impossible in so mant respects it's quite astounding . People kept saying 'Look how many BA and points she's getting' and I kept thinking to myself 'Well how could that be? I'm here very often and never even once in recent months have I EVER seen even ONE answer from her' .
Anyone who visits this site regularly knows that in the 'Politics' section , it's impossible to have over a 35% BA ratio . That's BA for 1 out of every 3 answers given . Actually it's even a little more than that !!

IMPOSSIBLE. . .. .. . . . . Well , IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS SHE'S CHEATING !!

Answer 10

is this a real question? are you really that upset that a liberal dominates answers? instead of attacking her, why not sharpen your skills and read and maybe you will be in her class. that's all for now...i'll let you get back to your internet porn.

Answer 11

What are you writing here? I don't cheat. Liberals never cheat.

I will hold on to my reign but not through cheating. Answering questions that are ready to expire and go into voting and voting for myself is *not* cheating. It's legal. So what if my friends vote for me if I need another vote. I do *not* have multiple accounts. I have *one* account with Y!A! Don't blame me and come after me for being the *greatest*!
