Accusing other members of being a "troll"


Recommended Posts

  • Founder & Administrator

I have seen multiple posts where members call other members "trolls" 

Wikipedia definition of a troll:

Quote

In internet slang, a troll is a person who starts  flame wars or upsets people on the Internet by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion,[3] either for the troll's amusement or a specific gain.

It is not a members place to accuse other members of being a troll, especially if it is done to try to get an emotional response from the member you are accusing, such posts by definition are troll posts themselves. It is the responsibility for the Moderation team to take any needed action upon any posts or on member’s accounts.

If you feel a member is in breach of the forum rules, please use the report feature so that we can look into it. There is no need to start or participate in conflict with other members on the forum. Please remain respectful to all members at all times. 

Members who continue to call other members names, wether troll or any other derogatory term, may receive warning from the Moderation team.

Please be respectful and polite of other members

This is a forum for civilised discussion. When posting, always try to make sure you are adding value to the conversation. Debate is encouraged, and disagreements will be common. If you don't agree with something that has been posted, you should respond in a logical way, without attacking the intelligence of the poster. Unfriendly, snide or cynical remarks are not welcome. Be polite and courteous at all times.

As the forum has grown so large there will be a lot of members who have differing opinions to you, sometimes options that may seem extreme. We ask all members to debate respectful of other members.
