Don't Feed The Trolls

[urgeok2]

Pretty obvious we are getting a new wave.

ignore them and they'll go away.

control your inner keyboard warrior.

[ferretchucker]

No offense because I agree with what you're saying, but what is this thread doing?

[Dante'sInferno]

I agree also.There is no use in fighting online,just let it go.I did,im not fighting anymore.

[urgeok2]

i'm not talking about whatever happened ...

i'm talking about new potential.

[Elvis_Christ]

Way ahead of you brother :)

Elvis is a man of peace ya dig?

there's a difference between feeding a troll, and being a goof.

a troll is someone who joins a forum for the sole purpose of stirring up shit 100% of the time. people use them for punching bags - satisfying something inside themselves - but its exactly the response the troll wants.

there is also the difference between a troll, and a troll post. (regular members make troll posts from time to time - not just trolls)

having fun with someone you think is being a goof (not a troll) isnt troll feeding.

[GorePhobia]

I just pay no mind to new people unless they say smart things or seem cool.

[ferretchucker]

I suppose we can just treat them like regular members and they may decide they like it and stay, becoming better, or get bored and leave.

[VampiricClown]

I suppose we can just treat them like regular members and they may decide they like it and stay, becoming better, or get bored and leave.

Or we can all go throw ice cream and rainbows at them and invite them in for the party. :p

nah they don't leave when you do that, look at you. We treated you like a regular member and you're still here. STILL heeeere

Could you write that in english for dummies? I have no idea what your last line means? :confused:



And I won't explain why some regulars would make up a fake profile. You'll just jump right ahead and do it, troublemaker.

The last line:
You are from Denmark, referred to as "Danish", and there is a pastry called a danish.

i think we're troll free at the moment

[Despare]

i think we're troll free at the moment

I think the insurgence of new members, especially ones who seem a little less than savvy when it comes to the forum, is alarming some people. Maybe a false alarm, maybe not...

wait......what the hell are you doing up so late....and on a work night :mad:

Exactly what I was thinking.

my wife is working from home tomorrow - so she's sleeping in and taking the boy to school.

normally the alarm is set for 5:30 ... tomorrow it's 7:00

(i can only sleep for 6 hours at a time - so i can stay up tonight ...

but i'm getting sleepy .. wont last much longer

I think it's a false alarm. I'm a member of HDC because I'm less than savvy about horror. Is that really alarming?

[ferretchucker]

I think it's a false alarm. I'm a member of HDC because I'm less than savvy about horror. Is that really alarming?

It's not the lack of savvy for horror, but the lack of savvy of how to act on a forum that's scaring people about the new members.

[monster123]

I really enjoy this forum. I dont post enough quit yet but its because im busy. I hope i havent come off as savvy?

[bloodrayne]

I really enjoy this forum. I dont post enough quit yet but its because im busy. I hope i havent come off as savvy?

psst: "savvy" is a good thing ;)...It means you know some things about something...That you're familiar with it


@Ferret: BINGO!

[Nella]

It's not the lack of savvy for horror, but the lack of savvy of how to act on a forum that's scaring people about the new members.

Seriously, is it always the new members?

Statements made about one's lack of savvy are merely opinions which are sometimes shared by those who don't always make the right choices. This is also just an opinion. My opinion.

I don't always make the right choices. As humans, we all make mistakes. That's a fact. I can easily admit that.

I've rewritten this post many times so it won't be misunderstood. I'm not singling anyone out. I'm just making a statement here, not trying to offend anyone. If it is misunderstood, please PM me.

Well, once you're not a new member anymore, you pretty much know what you're doing. So yes, it is.

As I want to continue looking for the good in others, I will just say that I've decided that you mean no harm and that you're not directing your comments at me or singling anyone out.

I have been a new member at other forums and I was accepted. Most were message boards meant to be used for the support of others with the same experiences, i.e. others who could understand and identify with each other.

I came to HDC hoping to meet other people who are interested in horror and to find out as much as I can about it. I'm just different in that I want to read individual reviews of movies you've all seen. Hence, my poll about directors and movies. I don't know too many yet. I hope that helps. PM me if you wish. :)

Oh, please, brother, let’s not get all preachy and dramatic. The brief time I’ve been here, I’ve seen new members attacked too many times to count. It all begins at the welcome mat. And progresses into every thread a new member posts in. True, some of the attacks are valid. People SHOULD read before posting. I do(as a matter of fact, I’ve read possibly more of this forum than a lot of Lifers have). I also read what I’m replying to, and double check to make sure I’m not reading anything into that post that really isn’t there. I make sure I post in the right area of the forum. And although I do crack jokes a bit, I also try to give serious responses to some topics. But some of you jump on a nOObs ass mercilessly, as if they’d just shot your dog, for every little screw-up. I have seen more infractions( serious ones) of standard forum practice performed by Lifers, than by nOObs. And the Lifers get away with it because they can(or at least think they can).



One member posts a pic that basically says STFU! almost every other day, always directed at a nOOb. I posted a thread with a few simple questions in it, yesterday, and got a barrage of bullshit. Other nOObs get the same thing(although some of the nOObs should ease up on starting threads, until they have really read the place better). Understandable that some of them get bent out of shape(although I think Scarilady was a little bent from the gate).


The difference between me and some of the other nOObs is, I can roll with the punches, and I give back as good as I get. If you treat me like dirt(no matter how well you sugar coat it), candy-covered dirt is what you shall receive. I’m not vindictive(if I was, I would have posted some kind of nasty comments in some of those private threads you Lifers hang out in, like Post Your Pic), and I do understand when someone’s just jerking me. I have a fairly sick sense of humor, myself. And there are Lifers who have a bit of a connection with me now(or, at least not ragging on me, every chance they get), so there is hope that, somewhere down the line, we can all be civil to each other. But others do not expect the hazing. And weren’t expecting it, minutes into the place. They came because they like the films, or want to learn more. Or just looking to talk(about anything).


I forgive these blatant flame tactics(by various Lifers) if they have shown a knowledge, presence or participation, in what this forum is all about, or have shown me that they possess reasonable intelligence. But there are some Lifers who haven’t posted one intelligent thing on this forum since I’ve joined, and the bulk of their posting is either here in Off-topic or at the Welcome Wagon. And usually argumentative. It’s all in your profiles. Some members rarely go beyond those 2 forums, but when they do, it’s usually to say something innocuous like “I liked it too!” or “Have you seen….is it any good?”(Crikey, go out and see the damn thing and tell us what YOU think). They seem to have no other purpose here, than to let everyone know the importance of being them.


I have even asked a few Lifers(thru PM) to back down, as they were obviously stepping over the line. Their replies basically told me to Fuck off. Which tells me that they are here to flame, and nothing more. And whether you have 50 posts or 50,000, you’re a troll if that’s your attitude. And if some of you old timers think that’s ”how to act on a forum” , then maybe you should be scared of what you’ve become.


Try acting more like a human, and less like the PC you’re typing on.

[urgeok2]

I agree with a lot of the above ..

I dont go for giving new people crap - unless they are so impossibly fucked they just act like a cancer on the forum.
I like new people joining ... i like fresh perspectives, new blood..

I dont mind people making new threads in the general forum ... as far as i'm concerned people can do what they want there unless it involves racist, sexist, or homophobic remarks.

outside of that it takes something pretty fucking special for me to get pissed off ... and i believe we had some of that.

a lot of people consider this place to be a family .. i dont.
I have some folks here i enjoy joking around with and i like the movie discussion outside of the general forums - but i'll drop this place like a bad habit the minute it doesn't feel right to me.

The last little while there's been a lot of what i feel personally to be a lot of negative energy.

If i'm pissed - I'll say what i have to say and that'll be the end of it - the ignore button works just fine. If people seem to think what's going on is acceptable behavior - then it's time to move on.

i dont agree with noob bashing .. i think it's pointless. i dont believe in mean spirited sniping as well.

i also dont care for smug over confidence from someone waltzing into a new place trying to tell everyone else how to run the forum they've spent years in. I hate eye rolling smileys...

i would think that if someone had so many problems with a place they'd turn around and leave - thats what i would do - and i've done it. I'm not an internet forum crusader looking to better the world one address at a time.

I would figure - hey - these guys are assholes and head off somewhere else.

not sure what your motivation is at this point.

if you're concerned about acting more human ... you might want to drop the Pope routine ... and the eye rolling smileys in every reply to things you dont like.


you dont like your threads derailed in general ? gee whiz .. that's just terrible .. it happens all the time. sure a couple of people seem to be bothered by it - but most dont - and everyone who's been here more than a couple of weeks lives with it and usually has fun with it.

i know you think you've figured out the culture of the place in the valuable time you've spent here .. but maybe there are some positive things that have been going on here for a longer time than you've been a participant.

i'm not about to get involved in a war with this .. it;'s just my 2 cents.

i'm getting a real deva vu feeling lately ... which is too bad because i've really enjoyed that last few months since i returned - until lately.

i hope people chill .. i hope some others grow up or get out - and i hope others yet - learn how to relax and let the mods handle whats going on.

we all have the option to leave when this place stops being what we want

I think that was very well said (for whatever my opinion is worth).

I barely have the guts (or the patience) to stand up to some of the older members anymore, even though I've been here for a while now myself. I just get a bunch of crap if I try to defend myself and frankly, it's just not worth the stress it has caused me. But I really do think people need to look in the mirror a bit more and not be so busy pointing the finger at everyone else. Like I've said before, we ALL make mistakes. And no one is perfect and never will be. Learn from your mistakes and try not to repeat them. If I sound like broken record with that, TFB.

As I've said countless times before, I've got no interest in changing this place at all. Or telling anybody what to do. And if those directories are what is giving everybody the all-over fidgies, why not put them to a vote. Yea they stay, nay they get replaced with comical pictures of Julie Andrews. It wont bother me(I've seen my work go down the tubes before).

Pope routine???? You'll have to expand on that one. Unless you mean I don't write like a knuckle dragger.

As far as smileys, some people don't understand what tone I'm saying things in, without them. 2 schools of thought. You may not like them, but some do. I'll try to remember you don't.*









*no smileys were harmed in the making of this post.**










**must resist urge to use smiley!

Chill guys

You may as well give it up...You CAN'T resist Urge...He's irresistible :p



Sorry...I'm gonna try to take on the big dogs for the comedy crown next year...My attempt will likely be stupid, but I'm no quitter :D


I'll bet you have NO idea what I'm talking about...haha

The only noobs that should be mercilessly bashed with their own shoes are the ones who sign up to spam something and then get argumentative over it (esp the "oh ! I just saw this great movie and you should, too, because I'm in no way associated with it !" noobs).

Actually, I was thinking that might be a fun little Halloween activity- coralling the porn spammers into the Database and tearing them a new one. I mean, it is a holiday!

they wouldn't care. they'll probably never visit this site again. they just sign up, make their hit, then move on to the next forum. now if we could track them down personally, and coral them all into a room with the rest of us, that might be an interesting activity.

by the way, festered, i love your ouatitw signature.

I think the things that V, Flayed and others have done to the forum and the efforts of our mods to clean up the streets has made us xenophobic and overprotective. I've seen only good intentions and friendliness from Leprucky Cougar, though her exuberance was scary, I see only the defense of a person who feels persecuted in Nella's post, which escalates into hostility, which makes some of us feel persecuted because of difficulties we or others might have had. This is particularly because it's just defense mechanism versus defense mechanism and no ill intentions are involved, except possibly in those who simply believe this place is cozy as it is and if these furriners come in here wearing red and dancin' on Sundays, then we might just have ourselves a witch problem. Did we authorize that lawn gnome? Is their mailbox regulation distance from the curb? The forum got the way you people like it by being inclusive and being a serious community that talks about horror and can have fun on its downtime. If we banned every newb that responded to old members with hostility every time they were attacked or saw others attacked, this place would be pretty small. I, for one would be gone and I'd like to think I tend towards being a pretty productive member. I've participated and argued my way through the last couple of the top lists, even heading up one of those projects. I've contributed blurbs and try to be generally helpful. There are some who do not and still are trying to drive a wedge between the forum and any new members who come about. In Festered, we have somebody with real enthusiasm for the genre who is willing to help out with new eyes and fresh perspective, Leprucky means well and wants to get to know everyone, Nella is a rarity. She's a new member who doesn't know much and actually wants to LEARN. Imagine if every clod who comes in posting 'Jasin roolz. I want some Jasin muvees. How bout Saw? If Jasin and Jigsaw got in a fit who wood win, bitchez?" stayed around to contribute and pick up some culture. That'd be good for fandom and good for all of us. Everything Urgeok said earlier was also dead on.

[crabapple]

Yes! And what would Mr. Spock do in a situation like this? And is Han Solo cooler than Captain Kirk? Answer me that, bat-brain! ;)

[Doc Faustus]

1.) Mind meld?
2.) Yes. He has a wookie friend.

[crabapple]

Yes, and droids don't tear people's ARMS outta their sockets when they lose. Wookies've been known to do that.

[pinkfloyd45769]

I agree with Festered and Urge,the BS in this place has gotten out of hand.We are losing any chance at getting a new member that might benefit the forum simply because if the read this kinda shit they are not going to stick around.I think its time to let it go,start fresh,and fucking get along.Wheres the love???

[_____V_____]

i'm getting a real deva vu feeling lately ... which is too bad because i've really enjoyed that last few months since i returned - until lately.

i hope people chill .. i hope some others grow up or get out - and i hope others yet - learn how to relax and let the mods handle whats going on.

we all have the option to leave when this place stops being what we want.

Dont you even dare let those thoughts back into your mind, Dave. This place is headed straight for the shitter if you leave again.

So much has gone into rebuilding this place after it was left in ruins and tatters by the trolls and so much in-fighting of the past. It would be a real shame to lose good members who came back and made this place flourishing again.

I swear, the day you, or Flayed, or Bub even, walk out of HDC again, I ll be gone too...damning this place to be filled with the omcdaves and Trippins of the Internet. :mad:

I don't know. I've seen a few loiter in their threads for hours, as if they expect something to happen. It'd be fun to post idiotic questions like "Pardon me, but do you have a link to some mighty fine Gretchon Mol nude pics?":D

Thanx on the sig. One of my fav all-time movies.

I will NOT leave this place again. People have fought too long and hard to keep this place alive.

How much time have we put into making this place great? Hundreds of hours spent on lists and projects. Years of our lives dedicated to getting to know one another. It still amazes me what we've accomplished without an admin.

Also, the great enthusiasm will come back once we start our new project.

What, thought I wasn't gonna spam other threads? Hell yes, I'm going to.

Also, zwoti, I hope you want to take part in it. We could use the help of one of the most horror literate people I've ever had the pleasure to meet:)
