I don't get it, is that all you wanted to convey?

If so, just a basic "don't feed the trolls" would have sufficed. And then maybe start a new, interesting conversation, o long time lurker of these boards.

Besides, some people here are bothered by them, yes, but some people like to have fun messing with the trolls.

To me the internet is like CB radio, you can have mundane conversations or you can scream obscenities to a person sitting miles away from you, it doesn't matter, it's still a fun waste of time.

 People have said don't feed the trolls before but those who enjoy messing with them cant help themselves. As I said, thats fun for them but not for the majority. It also gives the trolls what they came for in the first place, attention. Can't those who enjoy interacting with trolls do it on the MANY other sites out there? This site is special, there's nothing out there quite like it but it could so easily turn into a YouTube comments or Facebook page.

I'm done now, going back to lurking. I just hope my alternative (and for that read: bonkers) exercise in troll interaction has had an effect on some of you.

Tyrphanex has got it. Silverwook has got it too but doesn't realise it! No matter how much noise these prats make here no matter how much you want to engage with them, just don't! If you think they're a sock then think it, don't post it. If you want to tell them what you think of them, use the ignore function. Doing nothing says more than any post ever could - it's not like in real life when you sometimes just can't get away from them is it? Most importantly it will give them no reason to continue posting and no reason to ever return. Smart comments and conspiracy theories might be momentarily fun for those making them and May give a few other people a brief chuckle but for the many, many other readers of this site who just come to read something entertaining all it does is frustrate us. These tossers have found a nice home on Facebook and in the YouTube comments, let's not make them feel as though this site is a place to come as well.

I've already said I'm just a guy who's peeved at the constant negativity and pointless arguing. I'm just trying to make some of you aware that this place, once feckin brilliant, is becoming a frustrating place to visit. The fact that despite me acting just like one of those supergrover wanker types and STILL getting the exact same treatment as I was saying I was whinging about makes me depressed. There's no hidden member to find, I just want folk like Frink to maybe not post every single time somebody else does and "people" like haseo and thuselwotsit to piss off and stop abusing our eyeballs with their useless self serving posts. Don't waste your time feeding MY (I was hoping ironic) trolling, Drcrow got it right, the point is that you should ignore me. Now feck off and start talking about fun things again please :)

YES! Thank you DrCrow! You've eloquently made the point I was trying to and you appropriately happen to be one of the posters on here I enjoy reading. There's no ego in what you write, that's a virtue. Thank you for being the first member here with the sense to ignore me and thank you for not falling into the ego trap so many others who post here have. He let me and the rest of the forum know his opinion without being nasty and without being personal, and yet he didn't mince his words. LEARN FROM THIS MAN!

I'm with you generalfrievous, but the upshot of the denial/ignorance of that portion of the populous is that they will likely be the ones to perish first, leaving a bit more space for those with common sense like you to hopefully solve the problem or survive in the changing environment.

Warbler, I actually had a bit of respect for you and I deliberately left you off my ignore list. I'm speaking my opinion about what I'm seeing here on this fantastic site and the best response you give me is *sigh*? Get feckin sententious or get the feck out brother. Don't make me ignore somebody I used to think highly of.

Apologies Frink, I certainly didn't mean to make it sound like the three of yous were all the same. I'd rather read your "thread closed" jocularities than Haseo's full of himself-iness or thuselzamy's bigot-headedness. You're all different kinds of problems here but, compared to those two especially, you're quite harmless I suppose.

But really Frink, have you ever tried not posting what you're thinking? Is it absolutely necessary to comment in EVERY thread here? Just once I'd like to read something without your footprint on it!

No socks here, just pants. A big pile of yesterday's pants. Being ignored is based on how you've said what you've said, not the quantity of your posts. I haven't ignored Ronster for example, he writes feckin loads on some threads here but he always makes it interesting and he's always polite and respectful of others. There's plenty more like him but they get overwhelmed by the jediknightthuseli, Frink, haseo types who simply MUST show us how extreme/clever/generally superior they are. Gets boring when you just come here for entertainment.

Why Haven't You Put Me On Your Ignore List Yet?
Time

Irony. I'm using irony to try to make my point - buuuut spelling it out so that it doesn't go over anyone else's head : When an obvious troll comes along and makes dumb posts and ignores you, don't try and be clever, don't call him a sock and assume he'll be banned, don't try and always get the last word. It's self serving and whilst it might give your fans a quick chuckle I can assure you it'll make everyone else wonder why they've wasted their time reading it. Why not try letting the fact he's an obvious fool work against him and if you simply MUST respond why not try being nice? Turn something negative into something potentially positive for everyone instead of just using it as an opportunity to make another snarky comment (or snarky syllable.) It's not specifically YOU Frink, but you're the biggest target at the moment, and this thread does seem to invite criticism in its title.

I've been here for years. I only signed up to express my dismay and rock the boat. Maybe let some of yous know you're not coming across very well? As I said, I used to enjoy coming here to read and it was fun but now it's more and more frustrating and the whole place seems to have become dominated by negativity and YouTubey mindsets. Look what it's done to me for feck's sake?! Make love, not war. BE NICE YEAH? It's a lot feckin easier than snark and contradictions. And more importantly, it makes for better reading for those who just come here for a bit of fun - not necessarily to make posts.

Most of yous feckers. Arguing and sniping and contradicting one another! I come here to read fun things about entertainment but every other feckin post is a "correction", a "witty" retort or some Sheldon wannabe instructing those beneath Him in all the ways their knowledge or appreciation of something is wrong. Feck off, yous are on my ignore list until somebody says something nice. and would it kill any of you to actually agree with another person once in a while?! Reading YouTube comments is actually looking like a preferable option, and that's a feckin fate worse than death!
