Suppressing the Trolls
« on: May 09, 2008, 02:10:59 PM »
What kind of system should we put out to suppress trolls?  Maybe a Flat Earth quiz they have to take and pass to join the forums?

How about depressing the trolls. Let's play My Chemical Romance over the loud speaker and recite to them words from Earth: Not A Globe. I propose the section on harmful moonlight.

I for one am going to try to just care about them. I'll plead for them to turn from their RE ways. I think my concern will win them over (or drive them away)...

I think we should play "drink the stuff under the sink" game and tell them to go first.  Everybody's a winner!!!!
Normally when I'm not sure I just cop a feel.

I think anyone who's first post says how retarded we all are should be banned. They obviously did not lurk or read the FAQ before posting. Why should we even bother with them?

I've already proposed a solution to this problem. The kicker is, it's easy to implement with the current forum software.

We introduce a noobie forum. It is only viewable by users of postcount < 200 and mods. We make all other forums invisible to users of postcount < 200.

I am also the sole moderator of said area, since I am the official spokesman.

And I'm the second sole moderator because I'm the pope tater with robot arms, no one suppresses me!

I think a better idea would be 100-200 posts in the noob forum before the noob is allowed to post in the other forums. This would cut down on the trolls spamming every single forum with non-sense posts. Makes cleaning up the mess, that much easier.

I don't remember anything. Well, I do, but it's really vague. Like I was on drugs the whole time.

Are you referring to my "soul"?  It was intentional...

I supposed so but it still fits better with the pope potato.  Or not?

But he didn't use it. He used "sole" improperly. I made the soul--dancing connection, and I won't give it away. Not to Taters; not to anyone!!!!   Well, maybe if he asks especially nicely...

That can be arranged. Actually, I'm really only possessive over "soul" moderation. I could care less who gets "sole" moderation.

These would be troll souls, though, and already half-way to perdition.

In which case, you might need re-soles.
