TROLLS!

[p1ngpong]

Ok guys this problem has been bothering me for a while now, so I thought I should make a thread about it in site discussions.

I have seen many instances since becoming a mod of people quoting obvious trolls, quoting posts that are obviously going to get trashed and replying in other ways to posts that will inevitably get trashed along with any responses to them. And the most frustrating thing is that I don't just see this from newcomers I also see this from members with thousands of posts here who issue reports all the time, and usually report the offending post after replying to it.

Now this acknowledgement of trolls not only perpetuates their trolling and bumps it to the top of the latest discussion box, it also multiplies our workload by a vast amount. Instead of having to just deal with the problematic post itself we have to clean up all the responses to it as well.

So what I would like from all you guys is to think before you hit the reply button. What will a response from me achieve when it will just end up being trashed with all the rest? So instead of hitting the reply button, just hit the report button instead.

Thanks guys.

Oh thats what it is, its a Wii, I see it now. All this time I thought it was one of those rubbermaid/tupperware crates. Hahaha. Much more funny now. Anyways back on topic, I hate trolls but honestly I have a hard time figuring out who is trolling and who is just unpopular with their ideas/beliefs. I don't want to inundate the mods with reports but I don't want to let trolls get away with it either. What should I do just leave it for someone else, report them all and let the mods sort them out, or what. I have not been on this or any forum (actively) enough to know how to spot the difference, and I think this applies to more people than just me.

That was my intention, but my post still applies.

Report button

Anyone who hits that is an annoying vigilante, and should be banned themselves, especially when they press it for "trolling", which often is just saying something the reporter disagrees with.

Exactly, half the time it's just someone being spineless and reading something they don't personally agree with and take to the hills shouting 'troll' to try and help deal with the fact that someone else on the internet doesn't share their opinion.

I know right? Well I will be damned if Im going to move this there as it has a serious message behind it, which I hope at least some people have taken on board.
