Trolls on the forum

Heartburn

Looks like the Hex bolt fiasco end up with some users banned.https://d3go.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=385102#p385102





but you know....

conversations can get heated and other users can fan the flames directly or indirectly, i know i did a bit throwing some likes on to their flame war. instead of encouraging it we should try to discourage it. it is all flames and baits until someone gets banned. Less flaming, less bans and a happier forum.

Now you know and....

You are slowly going from pariah to forum mascot. Not sure what happened, but keep at it lol (can't upvote you, apparently limit reached)

its really weird, but i think ever since alot of the people I put on ignore (left the forums I guess?) it's been pretty nice here.

And actually I received a message on here saying I was one of their favorite posters. Felt really good

I just like that every time you post, I think of Raisin Bran and then the CA Raisins. "I heard it through the grapevine!"

Been on the board a long time and have enjoyed watching the birth of the legend that is a raisin

Checking iPhone in bed late and night and that first pic in the OP scared the sh*t out of me

Yeah, what really surprises me most is that people actually up vote troll posts. Do they not understand the person is trolling or are they egging it on? I believe it to be the latter.

This is why we need downvotes and forumites who understand how to use them, so trolls won't get outta hand.

The people upvoting troll posts are nothing more than trolls supporting trolls. The reality is that a troll infrastructure only grows through the support of other trolls.

Presumably by troll infrastructure you're referring to bridges?

Excellent post. Maybe it's his constant pokemon-like chant of being proud about having ignored other posters that generated his mascot status. I propose Iveignoredpplion as his nickname

There are trolls on an internet message board? Shock horror and stop the presses, this is new and major news and everyone needs to be informed!

Personally I like clever trolls, they get people riled up for no good reason than they can and the best ones can do it without people realising they are being trolled or breaking forum rules.

A troll inception?

Could you get someone so clever at trolling that they had trolled themselves so subtly they didn't even know they were a troll? That would be either some sort of uber-troll (the troll of trolls) or an idiot.

I may be over thinking this.
