Zoop 8,384 February 20, 2012 Share February 20, 2012 If a troll appears, report his or her posts and profile, as a number of you did a little while ago. To those that did, I give you my thanks. What you should NEVER do however, is reply or bump troll threads, like a lot of people did. It serves no purpose but to keep the troll's posts at the TOP of the forum, where it does not need to be. I dealt with the gut from my iPod, using the full site theme due to the lack of access to the full range of admin/mod tools in the mobile skin. Each and every reply that people made to the troll. Each and every witty picture they posted in those threads. ... Did nothing but make my job that much more difficult and time consuming. Please avoid such things in the future. Report and move on. Period. My lunch break is now over. Please continue to enjoy the forum, and report any misconduct that you might find. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RippedOffMattress 314 February 20, 2012 Share February 20, 2012 (edited) I never responded to the guy. I just bumped one of his threads to get noticed more by mods. I did also report him several times. Edited February 20, 2012 by RippedOffMattress Formally known as Misselaineous97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrobolt 2,069 February 20, 2012 Share February 20, 2012 (edited) I approve of this. By the way, I think one troll thread slipped through in the Roleplay board... Nevermind, it was already taken care of But still, I agree with this...

Guest February 20, 2012 Share February 20, 2012 I came late so I only caught the tail end of what was going on before the troll was dispatched. If I see another I will definitaly try out the report button though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor XFizzle 8,670 February 20, 2012 Share February 20, 2012 (edited) Allow me to have a hipster moment *pushes up glasses* *ahem* I made this topic before it was cool http://mlpforums.com...asion-protocol/ Anyways, I'm in the wrong for responding at all to the topics because they keep the offending topic sitting on the main page. I thought report 1st, reply 2nd was harmless and in amusing fun, but in reality it clogs the main page and makes the site look undesirable to any guests.

Sending in reports is far faster for staff to view, as opposed to bumping threads, because they can't monitor every single topic 24/7. They have lives and other priorities to attend to, as I'm sure the rest of us do. There may be times where no one on staff is online, yes, but issues will be dealt with when someone gets online.
