"A few people should come forward and share their experiences, tell everyone just how ruthless this ’up’ is!"

"..."

These seasoned veterans chose their words far more carefully, without a single asterisk in their speech. They all used ’up’ as a substitute. They all knew that in the forum, typing ’Qin’ and ’Mu’ separately was fine, but if combined, it would turn into a banned word. Even using Pinyin didn’t work. This setting was, naturally, for their own protection.

However, it wasn’t long before many audacious posts appeared.

"So it’s a banned word? Are you guys really that scared of **? What if I curse him right here and now, *******?"

"** is *********, I’ve already cursed him. Is he going to get me thrown in jail for it?"

"You guys are too timid! ** is in Jin City, right? I’m going to go ’real’ him right now!"

"He’s just a content creator. What’s he going to do to me just because I cursed him with *******?"

"..."

One unconventional post after another appeared, causing quite a stir on the forum.

Beneath these posts, the old-timers had mixed feelings, greatly admiring the courage of the newcomers.

These newcomers... embodied ’fearless ignorance’ to the extreme, constantly ’greeting’ him with asterisks.

"Everyone, quick, give these OPs likes and comments! Let’s get them past five hundred first!"

"Boost the popularity! Let them learn about the harsh realities of the world!"

"Well, well, some people really don’t believe in heeding warnings."

"Post bumped. Doing a good deed without seeking recognition. No need to thank me."

"..."

Some seasoned veterans chose silence, while others decided to be ’helpful,’ afraid these posts weren’t generating enough heat.

For a time, a rather bizarre scene unfolded within the forum.

Meanwhile, Ma Ming sat in front of his computer, watching as a large number of sensitive terms were flagged by the backend. He broke out in a cold sweat, picked up the mouse, and continuously deleted posts, blacklisted users, and banned accounts.

Most of these posters came from various other platforms. Many were only partially informed and unaware of Qin Mu’s terrifying reputation from the past.

In reality, many were just running their mouths, cursing for the sake of it while typing, with no real malice intended.

But if Qin Mu saw them, he wouldn’t care about such distinctions.

Thank goodness I set ’Qin Mu’ and those swear words as filtered terms; otherwise, we’d be done for.

After he finished dealing with these new posts, he let out a shaky sigh of relief, still feeling the lingering fear.

On the internet, if someone insults another, it spreads widely, has a severe impact, and gets screenshotted... deleting it afterwards is futile.

Fortunately, these newcomers’ posts were full of asterisks. Strictly speaking, they didn’t constitute insult or defamation because, logically, it couldn’t be definitively proven that anyone was actually being cursed.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he discovered many more posts filled with asterisks appearing.

His heart lurched.

These newcomers... can’t they just behave?

He clenched his teeth, picked up the mouse, and continued deleting posts and banning users.

However, the traffic this time was simply staggering, with an overwhelming number of new users.

Maybe... implement a quiz-based membership system?

Finally, after much thought, he decided to try a different approach. He would change the forum’s registration process to require answering one hundred questions. The content of the questions would naturally be related to Qin Mu. New users would have to score at least 90 out of 100 on these questions to register as forum members and be allowed to post and participate in discussions. Only this method could filter out qualified fans, ensuring it wouldn’t affect the civility, harmony, and stability of the entire forum. This would facilitate its long-term survival and development.

This is what I’ll do! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The more Ma Ming thought about it, the more viable the idea seemed. While deleting posts, he began to ponder these 100 questions. The questions didn’t need to be overly difficult, but they had to inform newcomers of Qin Mu’s past terrifying deeds. This was to instill a sense of awe in them, making them understand who could be provoked and who couldn’t, and the consequences of doing so. He could also include legal points from Qin Mu’s past videos, methods for dealing with moral hijacking, and how to handle borderline illegal incidents, among other things. All this was to minimize the forum’s risk as much as possible.
