Trolling.

[BreakfastSurreal]

An internet troll is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

I think we have some major issues with this here lately.

Per Veronica's Major Changes message.

- We need our members to loosen up some,.. not be so uptight. Everyone can joke around.

Words to live by. Remember INTERNET is NOT serious business.

Got to agree with the original statement. (Waits for trolls to come and abuse me for this.:smiley24: )

Trolls suck. Hackers are even worse, though.

It's only hard work when people get bent out of shape for no reason.

That's not what I meant! It's not fun if you have to wade through loads of malicious and insulting posts to read what others have said! The times where I've come on here, looked at some of the threads and just signed off, because after a long shift in the pub, dealling with dickheads, the last thing I want when i'm trying to wind-down is more of the same!

Yes but since OTz has been back things have been great. Until a certain thread that got out of hand emerged.

People just need to relax.

But what do I know I'm just a "troll."

 

[juggler]

Nah, you're not that bad!!

 

[BadBoy@TheWheel]

I do think there are some folks that seem to enjoy baiting people into arguing, however if you have ever been playing tennis and the other person dropped the racquet and walked off the court, it's pretty much game, set match.....

In other words, you cannot be baited if you don't bite.....

But why should people be forced away by a minority?

No one is being forced away.. Simple fact is, there is a handy dandy little feature called IGNORE. It works great. You see what it does is, makes it impossible for you to see a post of someone you don't like. Works good.

 

[juggler]

I know all about that!

The thing is tho even if you use the ignore button it doesn't help!
The people you have on ignore are still saying and doing the same things. It does nothing to correct the situation.
