Forum Post: Ignore the trolls!!! Please!

This content is user submitted and not an official statement

A troll thread will typically consist of an insulting comment or stereotype with no real argument other than "you are poor because you are lazy", "give it up", "I am better than you", etc.

I know they are inflaming and irritating and callous, but unless they are making at the very least some kind of pseudo argument, leave them alone. Or at the very least - fight them by flooding THEIR threads with constructive posts.

Also - We REAAAALLY need a report button for useless threads that only serve to spam or insult people without using any real arguments. Not a down button though, because then trolls will downgrade threads where people are actually making points and arguments and relevant statements. Maybe a flag button like on Youtube videos and then the mod of this site can review all the flagged threads and delete the useless threads that are merely made to grab attention without any real discussion, much like Kanye West.

Yes I hate to be making another "Ignore the trolls!" thread like last time but the flooding is getting bad. Someone needs to handle the trolls who aren't here to add to any discussion other than to spam.

I like agitating the trolls by telling them that their fear is showing. Fear that their tax dodging gravy boat may have sailed. Always sure to get a response. You can't debate them though because all they do is insult; they have no arguments.
