As you know, I am in this troll war with Yodel for a long time now. Would you please set out a few troll rules for us to follow? I know Yodel doesn't care but I'd like to troll within the trolling rules.
So far I've gathered that using the name "thebitteryodel" is too much, as is 'thelectrician' as it brings back repressed memories of the fictionalized past that I created for Yodel and ties in too much to a story he told the community. But how much is too much? He makes references to my girlfriend and my background in law constantly. I'm ok with this as long as we're both playing by the rules. A few basic guidelines so me and Yodel know what we can and can't do please. Thank you. |

at 8:36 AM, Sunday July 17, 2011 EDT Your idea for guidelines is not too bad but actually we should have 0 tolerance on trolling I think.
but how to set rules? It's going to be as difficult as Sam's good effort to try and define OTF and PGA in his advisor blog. Once you start writing examples or guidelines, you quickly see how many possibilities and circumstances are thinkable. You can never come up with a list of things that will include ALL bannable things. also, if I say, well some harmless or fun trolling is ok (with example A an B, etc), people will start using A and B to the max, trying to see how far they can push this accepted trolling technique. It's the same for the current rule on sharing. I actually think that some account sharing wouldn't hurt the competition and that it has a big fun factor. However, where do you draw the line and people will always try and disguise sharing with bad intentions as a harmless or first time share. So that's why the no sharing at all HAD to be chosen. It's black and white with no or very little grey. I fear the same will be needed for trolling if we want a chance of getting rid of it. This should maybe be discussed amongst mods but I think mods on xsketch or gpoker would immediately say no trolling is allowed. but I'll think about your idea. |

at 1:16 PM, Sunday July 17, 2011 EDT Trolling shouldn't be allowed period. However many people do it constantly with the promotion of the mods. This was the reason I trolled the mods and other trolls in the site.
I think the mods think that if you troll someone then you will drive them away or out of the forums. It works pretty well until you encounter someone with the strength and fortitude like I have. Then it just makes them look like complete ass's. You guys are completely ridiculous in your actions and you should apologize to the community and drop it. Will you actually do this? Probably not because you are too concerned about defending yourself from truth and justice to actually care about the community as a whole. |

TheBetterYodel wrote at 12:56 PM, Sunday July 17, 2011 CDT Maybe if you stopped cherry picking who you banned things would be different. For once I actually agree with that dumbass jerk Travis, you need structure or all is lost. But seriously fuck you. You promote blatant harassment of me on a daily basis. Why? I think ur just a crybaby ass and you need to be removed from your modship. As does Thrax and basically every other mod. You guys have all proven a lack of any true ability to keep order and be unbiased. I feel that is out of line Jurgen. Correct me if im wrong. |
