Meh for me, it's just the Internet. I've had a couple things deleted because it was taken the wrong way, but the way I see it I don't have the time or energy to get worked up about it. Oh no my post count! Psh. It's just a cool place for me to hang out when I'm bored at work and interact with some pretty fun and interesting characters. While high :)
Gasp - you hang out on RIU at work ? :shock:
Not me, I'm all bustin my ass while I'm at my desk.

Oops, I mean. . . :oops:

Who mentioned likes? I'm just trying to teach you mods that there's better ways to use y'all's powers.

When I type, it only takes about 30 secs and doesn't require too much energy.. Maybe I'm doing it wrong..

Here let me explain what I'm saying in a more clear way.

option 1) close the whole thread, which punishes just punishes everybody, and in the end will just lead to the thread being reopened with more trolling.

option 2) Ban the trolls, which only punishes the trolls, and in the end will just lead to the trolls returning to the same thread after a few days.

Admin chooses option 1. I think that's dumb. Either way the trolls will win the war over the thread. So the admin should just punish them and not us.

So when we see you being a troll are you to be banned as well? Everyone on here can be trolls at one time or another, jus sayin. :D

Awww ur so cute, u want to teach me that ur opinion is right, freaking precious u are :)
Say what you want but you haven't pointed out a flaw. You should learn to be open to new opinions and not just believe yours is the greatest.

Back on point.. You should ban trolls and not close threads. Now you should go open the thread you guys closed.

Like I said before, it would be pretty lonely here if all the trolls were banned LOL. :D
There's obviously a certain extent trolls go to get a closed thread. So the trolls that go to that extent should be banned. Did I say all trolls should be banned? No, I said trouble making trolls should be banned. Some people do not mean to piss others off and our labeled as trolls (like me right now). I don't beleieve I should be banned just for voicing my opinion even though I'm seen as a troll at this moment. But if I were to go running around and calling all of you dumbasses, then yes, I deserve to be banned.

Ban trolls that deserve to be banned.. Easy.

I guess I just don understand what's the big deal. I mean you say we're all bein punished, yet I strikingly never feel upset or reprimanded over it either. If its not the likes that what is it? You feel like you wasted your time and energy (even though it only takes like 30 seconds...)? Just kinda quirkier as to why get worked up over a little thing like a thread getting closed because of a troll or two. It just seems like a petty mater to be upset over.

I'm not upset, just voicing an opinion. But I guess if I'm making a big deal, fuck it.. Nobody has to read this right?

I also think trolling has become such a phenomenon that the sheer volume of "trolls" seems staggering. And they presumably keep coming back. Like a slinky on an escalator, or the energizer bunny, just keeps going and going...

Obviously the mods choose when threads "deserve" to be closed right? Well instead of closing threads when that point is reached, they should just ban the trolls.
I believe that's impossible in practice. The real hardcore trolls, as april has pointed out, have sleeper sock puppet accounts ready. There's no telling who would return where and as who. cn
