Troll/Invasion Protocol

I have screencaps of the threads, although they're all the same poor man's spam, just with different replies.

Show me, I wanna see xD

I say don't respond...at all. If they get no reaction/reponse then their post is in vain. Believe me, I enjoy trolling game forums, if a post of mine were to get no response I would move on... But they always reply to me :D

this is coming from a master troll :P

Thanks to the three of you who took the time to file reports on today's troll. Not gonna name any names, but most of you who replied to his topics didn't do that.

 

Straight from the rules:

 

Don't be a backseat mod. If you're not a moderator, don't act like one. If you see trouble, take ten seconds to report it and just move on with your life. The moderation will deal with it - that's their job, not yours.

As has been mentioned a few times already, the best thing to do when you see trolling (or any other kind of trouble, for that matter) is to hit that report button and leave the thread. As amusing as it may be to reply, all this will do is keep bumping the troll topic to the top of the section. And this will accomplish little more than tarnishing the community's image.

Bumping this up in light of this morning's newest attack.

 

Perhaps an overseas mod could be added to clean up situations that occur during normal sleeping hours for USA/Canada time. Although the guys did a nice job burying the topic(s) in question below other topics and not making too big a deal out of it.

 

Anyways, yeah. Bump.

I live on the east coast, and I deal with these people all the time on bunge.net, it's just frustrating to see this, and not being able to do anything about it

While for the most part we don't seem to require any form of moderation regarding day to day posts, I believe it may be of use to have somepony on night-watch, to ensure the forums are kept clean while Zoop, Kurtiss, and Feld0 catch up on their beauty sleep.

 

A possible alternative could be to bump up the restrictions which are placed on newer members, to prevent them from posting images or videos untill a specific post quota has been obtained, similar in nature to when uploading an avatar. While this may appear a little restrictive towards newer members, the extra effort required to initiate any sort of attack could help to deter any potential trollers and spammers that happen to show up. But then again, a second moderator may be a simpler approach; I'm just throwing a few ideas around.

I thought that was already put into action...

Well, I'll quote Feld0 here:

Looks like there's been restrictions on links and videos already, but just not images.

 

Perhaps with an bar, we could prevent any form of mass image spam like what happened today, at least to some degree.

 

That sounds good. Maybe a limit if you post too many pics within a certain amount of time too?

At the risk of sounding like a backseat mod for saying this (not at all my intention), I'm a little more than a bit disappointed in a number of you who chose to respond to the guy's topics rather than report and move on.

Well played!

Well, we do. It's just that we still wind up getting caught in the cross fire when shit like that happens.

I agree. We could use another mod for when Feld0, Kurtiss, and Zoop are away. Perhaps there should be some kind of feature where when enough people report a thread it gets hidden from normal view or marked as spam.
