Sould this new sport be named competitive freestyle trolling?
Would be nice if they competed for style points, not just speed or number of notch aquisitions.

I think the style points come by being banned for the least possible reason. By irritating mods and admins without directly violating local rules. But in a forum like this, we're all being irritating most of the time, so it's hard to stand out with subtle style points.

I suspect that it is the case.
For example, named your profile ID: 'theybannedme' or linking to a similarly named website might be considered cheating...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Carl Sagan - 1996
