Trolling and what we are going to do about it!

[Anthony`]

I dont like it, you dont like it, and we all dont like it. People who troll 'for fun' or just because they simply want to has to come to a stop. This is a problem and has been for so long, people cant post threads without being harassed by people who think its funny to troll and cause havoc. So now, the staff team has decided to take harder action on these trolls who think they can just get away with it. Traditional guidelines just arent working right now, and people are getting off too easily. So now, whether your doing it because someone else is stupid, or 'just for the hell of it', the staff will not be taking any forms of trolling kindly, even if its minor. Its gone to a point where its too much and is actually annoying to deal with.

Below is the following 3-step plan before a permanent ban will be instated on the member. Please ensure you follow these guidelines otherwise we wont be accepting any complaints about unfair actions.


Strike 1

Strike 2

Strike 3



3 Point infraction

7 Day ban

1 Month ban




Thanks.

[EvolvedBlitz]

Finally what we all wanted to see thanks guys :)

Heard about this awhile ago, glad you've kept up to your standards.

[Christopher]

Instead of a 3-point infraction, make it a a day ban.

[Anthony`]

All the staff decided a 3 point would be enough. :)

Soooooooooooooooooooo I'm pretty sure the staff already threatened us about trolling along time ago and they only enforced it for like 3months or so and then forgot and now that this is here(again) everyone is going to be afraid of posting because people don't know what trolling is so they'll report to a mod instantly and then get the non-troller banned and the retard gets to "LoL" then the non-troller gets mad downloads a DDoSer and takes down teh Runelocusz?

You are right, we did! But if we have to go longer, then we will. The last time it simmered down was because the trolling wasnt so bad at the time, until it got insanely worse.

Well you'll most likely see alot of reports on me cause since on the Internet I talk like a retard wif teh "chu, hai, nao, kai, bai" etc like I do nao and since I type like that they will think I'm trolling or just me talking normally just trying to have a mature discussion they'll think I'm trolling. Sec let me show yu meh example from a recent thread.


The gym, waste of money? LOLOLOLOL

Your following about what you read upon the internet kid, p90x = chest + back in one workout?? fuckkk! Two of the biggest muscles in the body being trained at the same time? Allowing ATP to be drained into one! While blood cant decide where to go because there is no compound exercises for chest and back!

You have 0 knowledge of the industry so before you start telling me about your rip off of a home workout program please aquire yourself some good knowledge so you can challenge me instead of resorting to trolling.

kthxhello

Example A of a retard who thought I was trolling. So the staff will most likely be banning me 24/7 just because of how I talk and don't give a fuck about alot of stuff :F if something isn't of-interest to me of course they're going to think I'm trolling because I don't give a flying donkey boner what I say D:<

I just want to be clear that the trolling we are talking about is the one that spawns forum fights, and flame wars, and spamming.

[Toxicturn]

This is cool, good idea.
Now, heres the test:

It's like a blackmark on your account, but it expires in ~10 days, and 5 infractions is a week ban, I believe.

10 Days? I thought it was longer than that.

[Anthony`]

It depends on the infraction.

[Dean]

10 Days? I thought it was longer than that.

I'm not sure really, so I just assumed it was 10 days(~), since I believe that's what it was a while back.

[Smudge]

Continued Trolling after Strike 3 should be a Permanent ban (on offending account & any other registered account(s) by that individual)
