lost all my silver bananas :(

technically, you still have your silver bananas (look at your profile page), but you were removed from the Silver Banana leaderboard because you were using content you don't own to artificially inflate / bribe for them.

The point of the Silver Bananas is to give them to users that provide meaningful contributions in the forums, not to users giving away something for free they don't own.

yeah i know, i just wanted to beat CompBanker in the list.

So, i cant gain silver bananas by giving away the HBS CV book???!!!! .... just kidding!

use your judgement, bro

I am sorry, but what is your fascination with Silver Bananas? Your missing the point. Being on that leadership board won't mean anything because everyone who is active will know how you got them.

this feels like the south park episode about al gore and manbearpig

hahahahhaha i hae no fascination with silver bananas, but it was "fun".

anyways guys I DONT HAVE THE HBS BOOK, so stop sending PMs, it was a joke

monkey shit for you

Abuse of the system...Sometimes forum trinkets like post count or "silver bananas" can have a negative effect on the community because sometimes newer members automatically think that that correlates to a higher status. Lurkers will usually find that substantive posters are held to a much higher status regardless of the numbers of their post count or bananas awarded.

Advice: Use post count and "silver bananas" with discretion.

i've got a platinum banana in my pants you can suck on, bitch

god! why all the hating! when people where begging for the CV books no one jumped and said in the thread, hey, it is not fair to do this, or anything. The reason i asked for the silver bananas was to make it fun, but the main point was about distributing the cv books THAT EVERYONE BEGGED to get. and bombarded me with PMs once they found out i got them.

and now that everyone got their lovely CV books i get this criticism, NOW i am mad about this whole thing. Taking the stupid silver bananas weas fair and all, but actually to try to make me look as the bad guy who is screwing the spirit of this website, well, the hell with everyone (except a few users)

after more than three years in this website, I am fucking closing my account,

salamat, y metanse las silver bananas por el chico!

EDIT: No wonder there are 40,000 users int he website, there is no stupid "Delete Account" button.

Seriously? Toiysam, if you've been here more than 3 yrs and this is the reason you're leaving, that seems a little silly... because then you should know how much stupid shit talking, trolling, sexism, racism, and bandwagon lynching goes on here. In these 3+ years, you would have learned to grow a thick skin and not take things said here too seriously.

But anyway, thanks for offering the CV books. : ) Much appreciated.

We had a user a while back who was doing shady shit to get banana's. He lost them all also so it wasn't just you. There is no reason to leave the site, if you didn't want people to give you shit you should of just PM'd Patrick or someone and there could have been a simple discussion. Once you go public with things you should expect from flak.

I agree there should be a Delete Account function.

I actually thought he deserved the bananas as much as anyone else. Yes it was not original content. But in many cases the advice we share is gained from someone else as well (ok not straight copy paste)

This is quite comical. Toiysam -- even if you did pass me, Anthony is a posting and silver banana machine. The only reason I'm holding the #2 spot is because everyone is out of credits!
