Don't Feed the Trolls

Trolls are just like seagulls...
If you give them what they want, they'll keep coming back for more, so that they can "S.O.Y."

The question "Do people have such little to do, that they need to post so much bull#@$% on the forums (over and over and over)?"
The answer ...is too obvious.

But what about the people that respond to these trolls? (they're just as weak, no?) I'll admit it.. it's hard not to take someone by the neck and try to knock some sense into them with words, but it IS pointless if you sit back and look at the mentality that you're dealing with. Give your beloved F5 buttons a break for two minutes and try to do something creative for the community.. (build a mission, paint a skin, answer someone's valid question regarding the game, type a positive "thank you" for someone's hard work).

PLEASE STOP FEEDING THE TROLLS! (if you've got at least half a brain)

No need to respond to this message.

S.O.Y? No seagull is stealing our yoghurt!!! ;)

We do seem to be seeing a veritable Troll invasion at the moment.....

Trolls.... Entertaining Forums with Drama since forever...;-)

There also seems to be an abundance of people being labelled as trolls when they have perfectly legitimate complaints.

I actually think it's much easier to identify and label the blatant Fanbois than it is the so called trolls. As for me...well, I'm neither :-P.

I've had plenty of giggles reading the posts from both camps over the last couple of weeks though. :grin:

More please lads and lasses! ;)

Smurfs from hell...:)

No light without darkness. Up to you to define on what side the trolls stand :p

Ignore list = What trolls?

Agreed. Trolls should not be fed. Bad trolls. But they don't seem to be playing the game much, so we should grant them some leeway in exercising their right to worship at the shrine of Clod, and turn the other cheek when they go out on nightly 'attack the critics' forays. They have rights, you know, like normal people.

Glad I could clear that up. One must contribute where one can.

When you get fans selected to do modding then you get this biased and over the top ban hammer actions. People are not trolling , they are just frustrated about a product that is going backwards since the day it was released. They complain , they get banned and post deleted, all looks normal in the forums. The graphics look better in the development shots that Oleg released in 2008.

The people that go into forums are a very small reflection of the bigger community.

:rolleyes:

Its not hard to tell the difference ...

TROLL ... This game sux and should never have been released etc
NON-TROLL ... My game is currently unplayable due to xxx my machine specs are xxx is there anything I can do to fix this

TROLL ... The developers are clearly biased to xxx side and given them noob planes with laser canon while ours have been unfairly crippled by ...
NON-TROLL ...I have trouble fighting against the xxx in my zzz what do I need to do to be more competitive

TROLL ... I paid $xx for this cr@p and demand it be fixed now or they refund my money immediately
NON-TROLL ... Lately I have been playing ROF but am curious as to whether the new patches have made a big enough difference for me to try CoD again

If everyone was the same, looked the same, acted the same and stuff. Then i dont think we'd have reason to hate anyone, else you'd be hating everyone, including yourself, but then everyone else would be hatin everyone else at some point too cuz were all the same and predictable.

But that'll never happen. lol I like being different. :)

Agreed 100%

you are correct sir...we would be ants:-P

You agree 100%, though you'll feed anybody... Troll or no troll heh.
Not calling you a troll, but I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to call you a "Troll-Hugger". ;)

Uhoh... I've created another sub-group :D
