They forced their selves in to our universe from a neighboring ficton. The exact mechanism of how is yet unknown. We can assume the why was that they were interested in leaving their home ficton.

AFAIK The original message was just "This post was thumped by the Stick of Off-Topic Thumping" and it was used exactly as it sounds, to thump off topic post. Then the great migration happened and we got all those messages.

I'd guess that the new, reason-specific thump messages were added to help deal with the main flaw of post-thumping, i.e., that removing posts without providing an explanation doesn't give those who see it after the fact a good indication of what kind of behaviors are considered unacceptable.

AFAIK The messages are not reason specific, they just cycle randomly...

The standard thump cycles, but there are also special thumps. I will demonstrate.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

[up][up] is standard thump.

[up] is a special thump.

The special thumps are, as Ironeye said, reason specific. Which means they don't get used nearly as much as the general thump.

That the only one? Out of curiosity? Since I don't plan to get thumped too much, best chance to learn is to ask tongue

There are like 4 others. Reason specific ones let tropers know why that message was thumped.

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

Thumped for taking troll bait. Feeding a troll. Bad idea.
