Intern in IB - Gen
Piggybacking off this with a serious point - I think there needs to be a bit of a revamp on the philosophy of anon-posting. It's wayyyy too prevalent, even in posts that are completely innocuous. I understand the logic - I do it myself. I think a lot of people are scared of this all being traced back to them etc and just anon nearly everything as a rule of thumb. I think the site would be smart to publish some sort of annual/semi-annual report on requests they receive for identities/IP addresses of posters (if zero, great, if not zero, explain general actions taken), etc etc to help users feel secure in posting here. Possibly the addition of an allotment of anonymizations tied to bananas/arbitrary rationing as a general discouragement for anon-posting.
This site is great and has succeeded exactly because you can anon post, but it could also do well to have a greater sense of community afforded by named posting on the majority of very harmless posts.
It would also do well to add a means of deleting comments, particularly without it bumping up the thread (occasionally you see 5 "insert bank reputation 2019" threads zombie-bumped because someone went back and changed all their comments to ".") - side note but just kinda annoying.
agree with this whole heartedly. It's too easy for a motivated person to trace stuff back to an individual
Analyst 1 in IB - Coverage
Those people always got some shit to say even on the most irrelevant topic
Intern in AM - Equities also come in with the most retarded takes possible.
Not wrong but I mean shit, at least us interns are trying to learn something

@NuclearPenguins
[Drumpfy] for killing brain cells.
bottombuckethardo, he probably made over 1/3 of WSO's new posts since October.
SmokeFrog is up there
Yeah douchebag of the year right there
Aww, don’t like called out for having poor crappy parents?
Yay! One fan!

From my perspective I think he may deserve some recognition. I appreciate the help he gave me in 2021. I hope he is doing well
edit: also Monty Burns. I think he is also a solid member here. I appreciate his 2021 contributions for sure! :)
I hope you are doing well also Ben
Monty! :) thanks you too sir :)
+1 drumpfy. Sometimes the most important and the best aren’t the same thing.
Just curious why you put Drumpfy in this discussion? It's just when I think of most valuable people, I think of people who added a lot of wisdom to the site. It is called WSO and I think the people who made the forum better for young professionals in Finance are the ones that should be recognized. Now I get that there was a lot going in the outside world and bring perspectives to the forum from that are great, but does posting a ton in Off-Topic really qualify someone as an MVP? IMO, no.
We're more so mocking his garbage posts.

iirc there was this high school kid Shaq oatmeal official or something? I think he mentioned he had family connections to EB/BB and he was on VIC (or it was some other high schooler on VIC). A lot of people on this forum praised him as well and people who weren't so supportive got MS.

Layne Staley but I'm biased, he's the only WSO person I've met in real life (open to others though!) and he's a solid bro
Well brofessor, you’ve stopped me dead in my tracks this morning. Not expecting this at all, particularly from an “Addict” Tier user with one of the best SB ratios of all time. Mad respect for you, and I really appreciate the mention. Cheers and thanks so much
much love brah, you're very thoughtful and the forums could use more of that
I'd like to nominate Omnicrom for bring WFH back.
