Annie are you ok
Will you tell us
That you're ok
There's a sign in the window
That he sent you a message Annie
He's asking for your numbers aiyee
He left us linkspam to his pages
Then you siezed up in your bedroom
You were struck dumb
You've been Janko'd

I don't see Janko in the users list. What happened?

Assuming this is just a clever rewrite. Which it is. No Janko evar plz

Anonymous PMs were received today.

Well PMs from an anonymous user, he still signed them Janko Gorenc.

Me too have been Jankoed.

well Yng isn't in the Users list either and he actually has an account

which reminds me

Sam would you please take Yng out of his misery

What's wrong with Janko?

He asks you for numbers indiscriminately of whether you're being serious or just joking. The slightest hint of maybe having the kernel of a conlang, and Janko will ask you for your numbers from 1 to 10.

Aka about as harmless as noncrazy street preachers.

Also, if you post a language called "North X", expect to be queried about "South X" as well.

As a victim of Jankoing, ban Janko plzkthxbai.

As someone who got PMs from Janko, there's absolutely zero need for any bans.

The Jankoing will continue until morale improves!

...slightly more seriously it completely slipped my mind that the PM system was publicly accessible. I'll fix that.

Just remind him that numbers were probably a post-Paleolithic invention and that not all language have numbers.

I've actually had plans for a Janko Page for a few months which would attempt to fish numerals out of the dictionaries for every language on the site and present them all together. BUT THEN THE IBERIAN PENINSULA GOT INVOLVED. ...so it'll probably require some extra tagging, at least to resolve ambiguity.

I didn't realize he spammed everyone so indiscriminately.

Thankfully I already gave him my numbers for my three main conlangs back on ZBB... I hope he doesn't press for undeveloped parent langs and others I haven't touched yet.

He probably will. It may be like seven months from now or something, but he will eventually notice, and he will eventually ask for your numbers.

I should note that I have not been contacted by Janko since that first time shortly after I arrived at the ZBB.

I wouldn't call it indiscriminate spamming…when he notices a language, he checks his database, if he doesn't have it, he asks. I haven't known him to repeatedly pester someone (unless you include messages months apart as pestering, which I don't).

I have. I've had four PMs from him over four days with increasingly frantic subject lines asking for numbers in a throwaway sketchlang. When I finally replied and told him to sod off, he replied apologising and then asking for the numbers in a completely different conlang.
