Just a thought...

[Mr Smith]

When trolls come in to this forum and post ridiculous
comments with the sole purpose of stirring the shit, NO ONE should respond. This is very important, so I will say it again: no one should respond. the sole purpose of these people is to get a response from us.
This is where they get their satisfaction. If we see a post with the above characteristics we should delete it immediately. I am guilty of this to, but I will no longer give any comment to these people. IF ANY TROLLS, AND WE ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AND YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHO YOU ARE, RESPOND TO THIS POST WITH A STUPID COMMENT, DELETE/EDIT IT AND DONT RESPOND!!!

He sort of caught us off guard. We're not entirely to blame.

We didn't start it, but we did continue it, which is exactly what he wants.

In a perfect world, people will do what they say they will. That way, (he-who-shall-not-be-named) would be gone, and I wouldn't be so behind in work

I don't believe in the M$ world that there is such a thing as a legal "copy". But yes, this software is legit and paid for (not by me mind you, whadya think I am some kinda nut case?). I just took that screen shot on my laptop for one of my tips:

Yes, I agree, trolls should be ignored.

[Pissed_Macman]

I think we should do more than ignore them because there will always be someone who forgets or doesn't know and responds, which gets the rest of us going. Maybe we could set up some kind of system that allows the mods to delete what they view as trollish posts.

[Calum]

they do, but if you think i am going to put 24 hours a day into keeping this forum clean, think again.

the onus is on you guys not to respond to moronic posts. One moron post is annoying, but 12 angry responses, and the inevitable moron replies that are generated are unworkable and make the forums impossible to read.

All respondents to moronic posts are to blame. It is sad, and until you people realise that responding to the morons just means messy unreadable forums, then it will stay this way.

I see a lot of people agree, going by the above posts, so, before you hit that 'Submit' button, think of those people who want to read forums and who don't have hours to waste trawling through drek just to find the real posts.
