It's the moderation that does it. The site is overly moderated for such minimal traffic.They probably don't stick around because they get demolished in debate and it scares them off in many cases.
In other cases, it's likely just boredom that does it.
I asked Mr Google for free MBTI online test and this came up
https://www.truity.com/test/type-finder-personality-test-new
Not done the test. I consider them about ½ cm above horoscopes. What ever you are told is reasonably vague so you agree it could be you and inclusions outside of your view of yourself minor aberrations and don't mean anything
Good luck finding yourself

Yeah, I asked about this a ways back.Is there any compelling reason why posters can not Iggy moderators?
Not their moderator duties, but if they have taken part in a post
Should be able to invisible out their off duty comments just like a regular poster. Obviously if a moderator needs to attend to a poster that ability remains

Thanks for the informationYeah, I asked about this a ways back.
The software doesn't support it.
The offered solution is to just not read those posts.

Haha. Actually you have invented the "old". I never said that: it's something Americans imagine Brits say, but it went out with Bertie Wooster in the 1930s or so.On a totally different subject...I'm curious when the Australian habit of using "words" like "Iggy", "Sunnies" and that type of abbreviation first came from. Who was the first to do it, how long ago was that and what was the first word to receive such a treatment.
It seems to be quite widespread and almost "overused" but I've never read anything about how it all started.
I guess those in the UK do something similar but not by abbreviating everything but ex-chemist the other day referred to running something up the old Jolly Rogers. I understand what Jolly Rogers refers to but more people from the UK (it seems to me) like to add in a more unusual phrase rather than the standard phrase.
In general, this is something that is rarely done in the U.S. unless it's by someone from the far right and then it's done in a pejorative way (instead of "liberal" it's "libtard"). Otherwise it's just not a "thing" in the U.S.
+1For one thing, I doubt very much this poster really is a 17 yr old girl. That looks far too obviously like a ruse to get gentle treatment. But then, I am a cynical bastard when it comes to people on the internet (present company excepted, of course).

And it's the Jolly Roger, not Rogers. The "Jolly Roger" is an ironical nickname for the pirate flag, the "Skull and Crossbones", i.e. about as un-jolly as you can imagine, if you are a c.18th seafarer.
Running up the Jolly Roger describes what use to happen at sea. One would see a ship, flying the colours of some country, but then, as it approached closely, suddenly the colours would be struck and the Skull and Crossbones run up instead, creating a serious "Oh shit!" moment, since by then it was usually too late to take evasive action.
Our Friend Holly may be another St. Petersburg troll. I have read the technique is to show up on a forum or social media, seem normal for a while to get accepted, and then start to push the disinformation that was the real object all along.

Schmelzer? I also have in mind Theorist who once pretended to be Amber, a 17yr old girl (though far too idiotic to be Russian troll, obviously). You may be right, though the remarks about vaccines give rise to considerable doubt.I might not be cynical enough but "she" sure talks like a 17 year old girl, talking about school, teachers, school being lame, etc.
I don't generally engage too much with "kids" when they post online but I was kind of glad to see new blood, more normal blood, actually show up here and I was kind of annoyed to see moderation jump all over her with a myriad of "rule" infringements. It's almost as if they are actively trying to completely kill this site off.
I can't quite picture a Russian dissemination campaign that has Sciforums on its radar. There are less than 20 people on here in reality.
Iggy
Don't Australians add things like that to most words? Sunglasses...sunnies, etc.I picked up Iggy from this forum years ago when I was advised to place someone on Iggy
No idea whom advised me or from whence cometh the word
I like Iggy as it soundith a little extra repulsive than ignore in wanting nothing to do with the person

I found that contrasting the traits of the specific types - such as Googling 'differences between INTJ and INFJ' makes it more clear which one is more descriptive.Just for fun, and because I haven't done this for a while, I just took one of the versions of the test linked above. It put me as INFP, which I don't think is a very good fit for me; I've also never had that result before. But the J-P scores were exactly 50-50 in the breakdown, so the result could equally have been INFJ, which is consistent with some previous results. Usually, I'm INTJ or INFJ. The I and the N are always strongly indicated for me, and the J is usually clear too, though apparently not on this particular test. But I typically flip-flop on the T-F scale. I must be in a warm, fuzzy, supportive mood today, I guess.
ISTJ, for what it's worth.
