Dealing with trolls

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.

Thanks FLB, hopefully we will all get back on track.

A number of members, and admin, have recently expressed concern about the forum being hijacked to fight political/philosophical wars not connected to Cambodia.

This following suggestions may be an extreme measure, but it could help clean up some of the ideological flack and static.

i/ "The Rest of the World" should not have posts relating to politics, ideology and anything who's aim is simply to cause division. Those posts should be moved to "Asinine"

ii/ "Asinine" posts not to be included in "New Posts" where they have a head start in diverting readers and the forum from it's primary focus - i.e. Cambodia.

Just a thought..

Agreed, FLB. People should not hesitate to use the REPORT function, as we all get notified and you help us nip any issues in the bud as soon as they arise.

Also, no need to 'copy and paste' the content of the post, as it 'freezes' it in the report as it was when you reported it.

YOUR ALIVE!!!!!!
PS: I report trapper every time he shows up with a new name

"Asinine" posts not to be included in "New Posts"
Strongly disagree

..where they have a head start in diverting readers and the forum from it's primary focus

?? a forums PRIMARY focus is to entertain its posters, inform people and drive traffic so more an more people sign up to be entertained.

we have Thailand and rest of the world subsection..
AND
General Chatter
This is a part of our Cambodia forums to chat about anything, whether it relates to Cambodia or not.

Sure, always. That is a given. I tried to keep up with 30 year old workers from Mexico and quickly got heat exhaustion

They were just trying to get into USA but you should have known better and just applied for a visa.

Forum creators should create rules in the forum about what types of comments will not be tolerated if they are different from the obvious. When I create a post in a forum I look at the rules for the forum and will word my post accordingly or else simply not make posts in it. Obvious posts that would be trolling would be those which are abusive, threatening, racist, sexist or are an all-out attack on other people. If a person were to come into a forum posting racist or abusive things about Cambodians that is a problem. If you do not like Cambodian you should probably not be living in Cambodia as Cambodia is full of Cambodians as that is where they were invented and are mass-produced.
When I make posts, I strive to not only state the event but also what led up to the event and my current strategy on how I wish to resolve it. It is my understanding that trolls are people who go online and attempt to get people angry or simply ruin people's enjoyment. I would not understand the attraction to this because it provides me little benefit in life to annoy people I have never met and who I will likely never meet in a virtual forum. It would be similar to trying to figure out why my roommates spend 800usd a month on phonesex. Usually, unless I see posts that fall into the intolerable category above I would just ignore them.

Bumping threads is considered trolling as well, Michael....
