Trolls
« on: May 24, 2012, 12:13:18 PM »
Would it be possible and/or binding if we had a poll among members in good standing to have a vote on whether to keep or boot a troll?

I would be the last to support banning I'm afraid.

That is part of the problem with juries for trolls. There have been a couple of posters that first seemed like trolls, but weren't really.  I think they need to be given enough rope to hang themselves.

The mods/admins can take care of trolls as needed. *knocks wood* we haven't had major infestations of trolls and we're better off than a lot of other boards in that regard.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I'm willing to bet that as the election gets closer, we will see an influx.

If it gets too bad, I'll just exit this place. This is NOT why I came here in the first place. And don't hit me with the "then they'll win" crap. They'll win if they are allowed to continue trashing the long-time members of this forum.

Damn it CG, you should know by now that I would never make such a claim!  

I'm not particularly fond of trolls either, but I TRY (and sometimes fail) to not let them get under my skin too much.

I try to take them with the proverbial grain of salt.  I've been on more message boards than I can count in the past 20 years and I've learned one thing....  They (trolls) are everywhere.

If it gets too bad, you can always ignore! Most of the time, they get tired/bored/embarassed and leave on their own.

Our mods are fantastic!!! Also our regular members are very supportive of each other. I feel like if someone was being offensive, I could write to either, Dixiebelle, Thor , Franksolitch, and say "hey, can you look at this thread,What do you think, do you think this is odd??, is he/she out of line...??" Of course I will defend myself first.

I'm weary of them hijacking every damned thread we start. On my old and now extinct "CG Discussions" forum, I'd boot them immediately.

I have so many of them on "IGNORE," that it spoils the threads on which we regular members post. I don't have to tolerate this shit, and I will not. I'm a member of other forums that do not put up with trolls.

Fine. I'll just leave the forum. That seems to be what most members want, anyway.

Just ignore the trolls.  Why do you let them get to you?  That's exactly what they want.  I like to have fun with them.  They provide a short amount of entertainment before they decide to leave or get banned.  The troll you are speaking of is on his road to ban-land I am sure.  :)
