Forum Trolls.

[urgeok]

you guys must love them - because every time one comes on here everyone rises to the occasion and feeds them exactly what they want..

so i'm figuring maybe they do serve a purpose ..

- whipping boy ... gives people a chance to flex their flaming skills.

- livens up the forum ... people are bored so they get off on the conflict



i was hoping to come up with more reasons but unfortunately i could only come up with these 2 lame ones.

personally i think its pathetic - some teenage nerd drops by with nothing better to do and everyone plays into their hands .. so they can profess themselves to be the 'master of forums' like that isnt the single biggest looser endevor on the planet..

I just put them on ignore once i see what they are up to - which is usually revealed in the very first smug self loving post ...

i dont know why everyone doesnt - unless they find they need it for one of the 2 reasons i gave before ..

i just think it makes everyone and the forum look rediculous ... childish garbage.



oh and Tom Tom ... can you PLEASE kill the page long sig - we all know the poem.

that thread I replyed to was the first post I looked at this morning, hadn't woken up properly, but gave a sensible reply, then realised who made the thread and deleted it.

[Vodstok]

If that is who i think it is, i wonder if he will try going over to my forum again?


That may be kind of hard, since he is banned from the site, but i suppose he could try.

i know .. i saw that - it was all the bullshit last night ...
the 1st post i happened to see was pure troll .. then i glanced at a few more and saw what was going on ...


i wonder how horrible life is for these guys in real life...

[Vodstok]

Molestation victims

Fat Kids who get their asses kicked at school

Skinny kids who get their asses kicked at school

People with no balls and anger issues who need to bug people in the consequence-free world of the internet. They would never act anywhere near this in real life because someone would probably just pop them in the mouth.

this happens a couple times a year here. They will fuck things up for a week or two, then the mods will come down like hammers and that will be the end of it for months.

It's really sad, too. if the little fucks had an ounce of creativity, they could channel that destuctive energy into something useful. instead, they come here and annoy people. It's like angrilly running through a crowd, desperately wanting to kill all of them, and attacking watonly with a fly swatter.

All of the above.

It's neck and neck with posting an average of more than once per hour for the past 10 monthes straight. ;)

Don't worry about Tom Tom............. He'll Cut the sig or I WILL CUT him!!!

[Vodstok]

hi AMK!

tom-tom's sig is annoying, but there is at least one new member who is more fo a shit-stirrer. i say ban him first.

Aside from the sig, tom's not a bad guy at all.

[Preacher]

I'd just like to admitt that I dont know that poem (shame on me).

And I think I can guess who you're all talkin about from the threads I read this mornin. I think if you ignore him then he'll go away.

Oh I'm waiting it's all up to him. Just cut the sig and we are good. I'll give him a little time. So if he is banned it will be his own doing. Who has another bad Sig????

hardly ...

nothing wrong with constructive - or fun - contribution ..

like i said before - if it wasnt for active decent posters - it would be another dead forum with tumbleweed blowing around the threads - with the last remaining mod begging people to come and participate -

you cant have it both ways you know !

[Vodstok]

Not a bad, sig, just that electrode is a bit of a tool. Very Deicide "this place sucks and so do all of you, i am great" type behavior

[newb]

I pretty much ingnore the trolls.As far as sigs.....I can't see any,i turned off that option months ago.

great idea - sounds like a plan.

[urgeok]

and yeah i ignore them too - but it polutes the forums with mean spirited garbage that makes us all look like idiots ...


too much poop in the sandbox - and its no fun to play in anymore - you know ...

[Vodstok]

Thank God everyone ignored Ben Franklin at least once... He wanted our national symbol to be the noble Turkey....

We ended up getting stuck with the bald eagle, geez.... Who wants a powerful, sharp eyed predatory bird with beautiful plumage to be their symbol?

Those are the two exact reasons why I love them. People's replies too them almost always make me laugh too they're stupid threads. So why not get a moment of enjoyment out of them?

I don't mind people trolling sometimes its kinda funny.

[bloodrayne]

Meh...They don't bother me one way or the other...



Of course, that could just be because I'm a moderator, which according to the latest 'troll' must mean that I'm a...a...ummm........Oh well, I already forget what he said about the moderators....

[The_Return]

I enjoy them....Bane's visits are always amusing:)

[urgeok]

must be a youth thing - i think they are a big bore and it embarrases me to be associated with the forum when it's taking place.

i find it far more entertaining joking around with the regulars and sharing thoughts on movies and the business of film

[Elvis_Christ]

Yeh it kinda annoys me when this forum takes turns for the worst. I usually just give it a break for awhile. Its kinda weird comming back and there's a new gang of people on here. I guess I've been comming here on and off for ages now... maybe I'll stay this time.

i find it far more entertaining joking around with the regulars and sharing thoughts on movies and the business of film if for some reason i think of something to say i will say it and if something starts with a friends (most recently Dante and HB vs Alky Trio and GoodandEvil) i will get into it... or if i'm bored

i let people fight their own fights - i hate pack mentality ..

the only time i get involved is when i see racist or other such stupid shit spewing out.

for some reason HDC attracts stupid, like flies to shit.

it's an age thing

[ItsAlive75]

I stick with the simple "You're an idiot" line. Not much more really needs to be said. But seriously, this whole "don't play into their hands, don't stoop to their level" line.... who cares if I play into the person's hands? If he/she wants to type some crazy nonsense just to make people curse him/her out, I'll give them the satisfaction.

It's not like they're really gaining anything tangible out of it... it's not real life, it's on a computer.

what is tangable ?
you evoke a response/emotion in real life - thats not tangable either ..

ww've had a couple of waves of bullshit here in the past and you end up wading through pages of dreck to get to the one or two intelligent/amusing things that might have been said all weekend long ...

its a proven fact that when this shit keeps up a forum loses a lot of good posters .. people who want to contribute but cant be bothered with shuffling through garbage..
I was tempted to leave as wella couple of times ...

and then what do you get - eventually just a dried up little battle ground for morones - and eventually just a dead forum .. ask around - its happened on lots of others ..

for some that is the ultimate goal .. for others they dont realize what they are doing - they are just foolish enough to think that it's cool .. big badass on a keyboard.

come home from school and try to start shit because if they did it anywhere else they'd have their heads handed to them on a platter.

i guess it's always going to be around - that never changes ..

i just hope that potential trolls can somehow get a sense of how pathetic and embarrasing they are ..

[filmmaker2]

In interesting philosophical issue is raised here, I think. "Tangible" means something that has a physical form, that you can touch. Technically, emotions aren't tangible. But anyone who's had 'em will probably agree that, indefinable as they are, they're real.

I believe that these spamtrolls, as I call 'em, cause real violence--but it's emotional--it's the type that doesn't draw blood.

1) Yeah, I fucked up "tangible".

2) Really? A proven fact?

3) If that's the only way they can be badasses, you may as well let em' have THAT.

yeah ask around .. other forums have suffered.

a lot of people have left this one too in the aftermath of the different bullshit wars that have taken place here.

i left a UK entertainment site to come here - because it was full of young idiots who just trolled and had no idea how to discuss film ...

[Haunted]

This board has definitely seen iit's share of Jihad. Most of the cool people have remained, though. Urge (thank you for your very sweet message, by the way), were you around for SFF and Rotting Eye Smack Down?

no - i joined at the time of the 'Mod Wars'
was a contributing member during the penis infestation
and have seen a few minor dust ups in the mean time.

i can think of a lot of people who dropped off ...
i cant assume that was the only reason but like i said - the forum was a sea of stupidity for those times - and held nothing of interest for me..

i really enjoy the forum - especially weekday mornings ..
i hate seeing it go to shit ..


(hope all is well as can be now - by the way)

whatever happened to stingy jack - king of the long posts?

[Vodstok]

I'm not sure. He popped in for a little while a few months ago, but then he disappeared for a while.

it would be nice if he at least stopped by again.
