Remember to report thread derailments

Didn't know we had a new Neighbourhood watch and you even have flamethrowers, ready to burn everything you dislike?!

Fantastic!

This requires self control, which most people here don't have. Otherwise, it would be an effective method.

Sad but true.
Even the people who complain about derailment, contribute to the derailment, and lack the Self Control to just simply not engage, and just continue the Conversation.

We clown on Aveyond-Dreams, but that's the one thing he mastered that I respect: Ignoring / Not Engaging in the Noise.
98% of the time at least.

Nope. It doesn't "just kinda happens".

It's because a core group of players - or rather, a certain faction, you included - has taken it upon themselves to derail threads to "have fun" at others' expense.

There is only one solution.

so, much the same as you are attempting to do with your images and attempts to derail the thread? Sorry some of your alt army got a vacation.

any forum with just one view, complaining or praise is going to be generally pointless for feedback or anything else. without dissenting viewpoints for whatever the status quo is, its not a "forum" its an echo chamber. those are not useful for anything

They are posting more frequently cause they found that if they can get you to say a bad word or anything they can mass report you with all the alts and get a ban. It's a numbers game. If you break the ToS once they will do exactly that. The Automated modding does NOT take context into account. Also they will comb through older postings to see if you have used a bad word once and then mass report that. We have proff of that with emails of the ban being issued from something that happened weeks or longer ago.

The best way to deal with these people is block. Immediately. Do no engage. They WANT the engagement and they are getting it left and right.

I think you're a cool person and you seem level headed so I don't see you getting baited into a ban trap but I just think you are above this all and don't need to talk to this wall of a person who will not change.

I mean, if SE really really wants to destroy the forum community more than it already has, allowing troll alts with 5-10 posts to their name to post argument inciting rants in an effort to ban multi-year, long-term forum regulars is certainly the way to do it.

Actually, @Mods, can we get a "Report Troll" option? And can we get mods to act on bad-faith/false reporting?

This TOPIC is one of those bait traps though.

Remember the "thread derailment" is pointing out that the person is a notorious troll and posting bait memes.

This post is bragging that he got some folks banned for it, and threatening to do it to others.

Low-key pathetic because R's faction doesn't seem to realize this is exactly what they're trying to do to users like Stormpeaks, aveyond, Shinkuno over the past few months It's not even about me.

When you go beyond mass reporting troll alts to mass reporting actual people, expect to get repaid in karma.

Aww. It couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people.

/s if it's not obvious.
