Sootbaiting

Sootbaiting smells like bait.

Sootbaiting refers to a legendary art form and baiting activity that consisted of getting a rise out of former sharty owner Soot, who was known, at times, to display a short temper. Sootbaiting was accomplished by obvious samefagging, spamming, demoralisation-coaling, shitting up his Q&A threads with meaningless requests, and accusing him of exploiting/datamining his users (a charge to which he was very sensitive). Screenshots of successful sootbaiting attempts (with samefag (You)s included) are routinely shared on the sharty as highly-valued art pieces,^[1] considering only about a half-dozen are known to exist. However, the activity itself became a lost art after Soot's departure.
