    If you stop feeling disrupted, there's no disruption.

    How long as "don't feed the trolls" been a rule? It's like Internet 101 here guys.
    How do you just "don't get upset", though? Let's be real here. Even if you posted nothing about it, acting as if you ignored it, he knows it disrupts other people, because getting upset about not being properly able to use something is natural, and you can't just "hide" it from the troll, because he still knows it bothers people and if people don't complain and nothing is done about it, he wins. But that's the issue in this situation. It's not just about the troll himself anymore, it's about the measures taken (or lack of them in this case). At this point is more about the frustration from the moderating team not doing something about it, when it's blatant. You can't be so blind to just say "he's not breaking the rules", because he is:

    Posting a number of posts with the same content.
    Posting aimed to create a negative impact on the community or its members.
    Posting seeking to damage or disparage Square Enix, the forum, FINAL FANTASY XIV, or others.
    Doing anything that obstructs the use of the forum or FINAL FANTASY XIV for other users.
    Attempting to harm or obstruct the operation or use of this forum.

    ^Taken from FFXIV forum guidelines.

    You can't just stop feeling disrupted. We're humans, not robots. That's like someone being in the middle of the road obstructing traffic and telling people to not get upset about it and just wait there waiting for the troll to just move along. Nah, you get the proper authorities to deal with them, but again, that's what is NOT happening here, which is the issue more than the troll himself.

    This whole thing shows two possible scenarios.
    1) The moderators are aware but not acting upon it for some reason, which is already bad on its own.
    2) He's friends with moderators and getting a free pass, which I don't think I would have to explain why that's a bad thing.
