Dealing with trolls
Re: Dealing with trolls
So, you troll, to troll the people you consider trolls. Wouldn’t it just be easier to delete CEO from your bookmarks? Seems a lot easier to me.
I hope I’m on your block list
Like is said “Trollception” that’s trademarked by the way.
up to you...

If my local pub was welcoming obnoxious characters I would find a new pub.
Re: Dealing with trolls
What you say is totally true but posting replies to me in an attempt to berate me makes these people feel smug and superior and validates their otherwise pointless lives. I can guarantee you that none of them would have the courage to block meJamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 6:32 pm as much of a troll as people think he is, he does make a very valid point, if you dont like him or any other poster, just add them to your foe list and you never have to see any of their posts again

I am grateful none on my ignore list are quoted by anyone...

Re: Dealing with trolls
a simple solution they wont accept is bring back the down button
let the users take more control from the mods.

I may be going to hell in a bucket,

Re: Dealing with trolls
OP reminder to members to come forward and report posts that you consider trolling. The mods can't be reading every single post, but all reports are looked at and reviewed.frank lee bent wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 5:58 am You need to report posts you consider to be trolling. Best cut and paste the offending text so that later editing does not destroy the evidence.
Admins and mods do not read each and every thread so offensive posts often go unnoticed.
Trolls love to provoke people to anger and when you respond you are giving them exactly what they want.
Trolls destroy forums so you need to do your part to preserve the forum as an enjoyable place.
As for PR's idea of restoring the down/dislike button, from memory that was removed because it created more problems than it solved.
Re: Dealing with trolls
There is an example on another forum that started with all the advantages but still continues the troll spiral.Trolls destroy forums
People just invisibly leave / stop posting / stop visiting.
Too nonsensical and juvenile.
That kind of shit alienates the good and attracts the bad.
