What to do with Trolls?
I have noticed lately that there have been quite a few new members . The new members are a good thing, we need all we can get, but some of them have ill intentions. They do not own an xmod nor do they even like xmods. In general they are here only to spread chaos and uproar, which they have been doing a good job of. This uproar has caused some of the seasoned members to either leave or go on a cussing tyrant of sorts. This cussing has lead to the MODS cracking down on all vulgarity. Most of us here are adults and can handle the occasional foul mouth member but we do need to keep in mind that kids may be strolling threw from time to time.
I have composed a little manual of how to handle these ill intentioned members.
Ignore them:
This is the most important rule and I cannot stress it enough. If you see a troll, ignore it.Posting a message along the lines of "Ignore the troll" does not count as ignoring the troll. This is because truly dedicated trollers are looking for attention, and even this kind of sideways reference feeds them. Don't do it, hmmkay?
Members replying to a Troll:
If there is someone who insists on replying to trolls, and you're reasonably sure this person is not a troller himself, send them a pm or email telling them to ignore the troll. Or use some other means that the troller can't see.
A few pointers:
Make friends...Surprisingly, this sometimes works. (Not often.)
Reward good behavior, Most people are not completely malicious; occasionally they produce something worthwhile, and this should be encouraged. However, they may be trying to lure you into a worse situation. Be prudent and think strategically.
Happy posting! _________________
