not me. I do my due diligence.

One thing I've noticed: if someone posts "I really hope this isn't a fata", it usually isn't. If someone posts "I didn't see this posted anywhere", it'll be a fata

I don't think I've ver had a fata before, so I'm not too worried.

I never noticed it until now, but you're right! That describes me too

I don't fear the fata, I embrace it. If I have done wrong (only once have I been fata'd), then I deserve the punishment.

Without the Fata, there would be no order. I'd be anarchy I tell you.

My last 2 fata's have been self inflicted, meaning I caught them before anyone else did.

I love it when new people get fata'd, then they get confused and question what is happening to them.

The fata is nothing to fear.. it's something that happens, just do your homework before posting..

I find it kind of annoying sometimes. Every second thread is subtitled "I hope this isn't a fata" like Rico is some kind of Russian mafioso who's going to give you the Columbian nectie if you don't do some research. When in actual fact he's a gay spiderman, but whatever.

I don't mind a post being deemed a fata if the original was only a few posts down, or even somewhere on the same page. But when it was a week ago, or a month ago, then giving someone a fata is just really uncalled for.

Unless it is indeed a thread about Rico being on waivers......then by all means dance!

Doesn't that more or less describe the guy who houses him?

Can someone explain this whole fata thing to those of us not in on the joke?

The Fata has run its due course and is not intimidating enough anymore, we should have a poll and look for a replacement. :P

The Fata and it's effect died 2 years ago... honestly. The word "Fata" is still in effect just as CP slang for REPOST. But the burn and hype of the Fata is long due it's course.

Unless you're a teen groupie

Wow, the term itself has taken on the very lifeform of the man from whom it originated. A joke.

I'm not afraid of much in this world, but one thing I am afraid of is the Fata. Once when I posted something that had been previously posted, I went to google and searched for the words that was in the title of my post to see if I could find something different so I wouldn't be Fata'd :blush:

I think I need help ;_;
