Chode Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 ,May 18 2004, 22:07] i bet we will see a thread about this. read my post here. Ahh... You see, on my poor dialup conection, different sections of the page load at different times... 1) I see what was posted. I read this. 2) I wonder "Who is this knob....?" 3) Their name loads. I think "Let's argue against this knob...." 4) Their group loads. At this stage, if I see "Moderator" or "Admin" etc I think "Don't insult this knob, they ban and warn....and insult me. They hurts us"... Then I see "Super Coderator" and I thinks... "WHAT THE!!!! Is that a typo, or has Opera screwed up...." ps, I don't think all people here at neowin are knobs...only 41% :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted May 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2004 ,May 18 2004, 09:08] look at my post count, what do you mean? ;) Your post count is not impressive. On the other hand, your post count per month ratio is rather scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samoa Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 With all do respect to the mods who have replied in this thread thus far, I've been warned for what I reported someone doing recently in a thread I created. Those types of posts do not have any purpose other than to make the thread starter feel bad and concurrently make the poster to be an ass. If That's not trolling, then stop warning me for that type of post. Otherwise please review my report and do something about it. thank you. As for everyone else who said just ignore it. Well duh, it ain't hard to get over. But people shouldn't go around making posts just to be an ass. Removing the posts or editing it, and/or warning the person is the right thing to do.

I'm not sure how this is hard to understand. Dealing with the post in question....kairon was whining about those who posted their opinion, which differed than his, about the show. Granted, the posts didn't contain much information, but they are opinions, nonetheless. Posting opinions within the confines of Neowin's rules is perfectly ok.

Glowstick Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Well, he's been doing the same, so he has no reason to complain. Most recent example I remember was the Beastie Boys thread. If you dish something out, you have to take it in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banzai Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 The mods are right, if your not happy with a topic you should report it, I always do it if i find a bummer topic. I still dont understand what is ment by trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted May 20, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 20, 2004 Trolling, which means going into a thread a posting a comment that shows fanboyism towards a product with the intent of starting a flame war, has always been against the rules. You're right, it shouldn't be tolerated. Trust me, though, none of it goes un-noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x2cube Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I don't even see any troll posts in those threads. To me, a troll is someone who posts something that they don't even necessarily believe in (or know about) simply to push the buttons of other users. I thought trolls ate goats...

Chad Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 posting a pic of "Whoopty ****ing do" is not an opinion. It is trolling. Oh come on. If you haven't figured out what trolling is yet, you probably never will. Posting a pic of "Whoopty ****ing do" is not trolling. That is, in fact, an opinion. It's not the most educated response, but it's not trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
