İnci Sözlük is a Turkish online social community website. The website is often compared to 4chan and regarded as the Turkish version of it.[1][2]
On the official webpage of the community there are stars for famous pranks they organized. It is the first to announce an anomaly in Twitter's code on May 10, 2010.[3] Unscrupulous users were able to exploit this bug to add unconfirmed users to members' "following" list. The community also abused the translation function of facebook by mass-voting for dirty and suggestive translations. The community is also widely blamed for the hoax regarding Atilla Taş, a Turkish pop singer who they started labelling as Greek after the release of his Gangnam Style parody "Yam Yam Style", which was widely criticised in Turkey.[4][5]
