There is the odd person I think could be fucking around but I fuck around just as much as anyone. I don't post about serious stuff for the most part because I'm pretty dumb tbh so I wouldn't know what I'm talking about. I just post about boobs, farts, stuff like that.

no one is forcing you to read or respond to any troll posts.use the ignore feature if something bothers you that much

Ah ye sure we'll just have an anti muslim thread twice a week.

"What about muslim members?"

"Fuck them we're rubbing our hate boners together."

too be fair the muslim topic is a hot topic no matter where you go right now.its on tv on the internet and even your local newspaper.6 months ago the hot topic was white cops shooting black dudes.there is always going to be something that "the people" are chattering about. if they bother you that much dont click on them.be smarter than that

I'm not actually irritated by it, I'm more than capable of torpedoing those threads for fun, plus I love a scrap. I don't often bother, unless it's been gathering momentum. We have a large amount of passive aggressive hater sliding in and it's lowering the tone frankly. I have no problem with debate but "fuck them" echo chambers are silly.

I think there's some trolls here. These people create threads about race, religion, politics (hot topics) & then sit back and wait for the shitstorm because they know we have some here that are drawn to those topics, like a moth to a flame. And we have some that can't, not respond. And we have some that can't control themselves when discussing these topics.

I also think there's some people that enjoy drama here. These people usually enter those topics ^^^, instead of avoiding them.

I think there are some that complain about all of that ^^^, that could avoid most of it by simply 1) using the ignore feature, or 2) refusing to respond to trolls, personal attacks, etc

I think there are some that complain about all of that ^^^ but will be all over our ass if we start banning people, locking threads, etc. Accusing us of censorship, lack of transparency, etc.

I think there's some people that talk shit about wanting a forum for respectful discussion, but they don't want that at all, because they're guilty of name calling, baiting, personal attacks, etc as well.



I dont think we're letting the site become "ruined". I think this stupid shit it pretty well confined to Off Topic, and could be immediately resolved by the parties involved. The trolls could stop trolling. People could stop responding to trolls or use the ignore feature (trolls dont troll where they don't get a reaction...they either stop or move on). People could stop name calling, making personal attacks, etc. If someone is called a name or personally attacked, they could use the report button instead of reacting poorly themselves. Etc, etc, etc.

Why should I spend 16-18 hrs a day chasing people around Off Topic to babysit? People have to become part of the solution first, if they want things to change.

The ignore function does work. I think letting it go at that point like you said is the best thing. Try to be mature and treat others with respect. If they don't reciprocate, fuck 'em. :D

Quite a bit to go to reach UG trolling standards at least every slightly controversial comment on here doesn't get you called a 'faggot' or 'phaggot'.

I don't think there's any critical mass of trolling. For the most part, the Community Standards are adhered to.

But this community belongs to all of you.

Defend it.

I have a question. Is it trolling when it's intentionally obvious?

I agree that its not easy for the admins, and you probably worry about overall activity as well. After all, these posters do bring some value too and the line is blurry. Its seldom black or white.

But I think the ignore-argument or telling people not to go in those threads is a bit misguided.
The ignore-function is a good function for some people, but not all. I want to be free of such crap and move around freely here. Nobody is going to convince me that I should go out of my way to avoid stuff when I am not the perpetrator. And I can't be the only one thinking like that.

Its a similar (albeit much less serious ofc) argument to telling women to put on more clothes or people to not go into this or that neighbourhood. It doesn't have to be like that here imho.

Against no-go-zones on TMMAC! :cool:

I hear ya brother and I'm not trying to just blow people off w/ "ignore it". I'm just trying to get members to take more ownership of the forums, and suggest ways that they can correct a lot of these issues themselves. Like kneeblock said...defend it.

That said, we're in the process of unveiling a couple surprises that will significantly help us better moderate the forums, while cleaning up Off Topic in the process. Stay tuned ;)
