I need to vent.

Several topics that I've posted on have been hijacked by trolls. Whats worse is that they seem to be supporting each other, and not providing any useful ideas, points, or counter points to the discussion (hence trolling).

 

When I disagree with someone, I make an honest effort to understand their point of view, believe me, its difficult. Whenever I post to a thread, I always make sure that I read the first post, and understand it. It usually takes me 15-30 minutes to post something, because I spend so much time reading and re-reading what I write, carefully trying to make sure it makes sense.

 

These idiots do nothing like that.

 

 

I post on tip.it because its specifically NOT the RSOF. I come here because I don't like being trolled by people who seem to have the mental capacity of a four year old. But now, it seems, there are three or four active trolls. I know there's a report abuse button, but no action seems to be taken against the trolls. I also hate spamming the mods. I guess what I have to say is

GTFO TROLL

BTW - Thank you to those that make thoughtful posts, contribute to discussions, and have maturity beyond your years. You're the reason I'll stick it out.

 

 

Can you beleive these people? Spamming up OUR forums?

totally agree.

well said!

 

Ironically, when i saw the topic from the index - i suspected trolling by the title.

I'm more worried about the useage of the word "troll". A few years back, a troll was just a very obvious blunt person who posted nosense. Now anybody who disagrees is labeled as a troll.

 

Real trolls can be ignored; but you can't go around calling everybody trolls and finishing the discussion.

Well at least you aren't letting them get to you.

Wait, what?

Wasn't the exact same thread locked?

Bacon and Malk have TIF accounts?

It was, but this one was posted by another person (or same person, different accounts).

 

If its legit, I guess he thought it was important enough to re-post it.

Hmm.

Well, I used to be extremely active in Tip.It.

I then figured out quite a bit of the population in here are morons fresh from another site I shall not mention.

Once I figured that out, I lost interest in being so dedicated to the forums, that now I post only in a few topics, if that.

 

But I agree with your point.

Nah. RpgGamer is a different person. He's just making fun of the guy who posted this topic because the kid labels anyone who disagrees with him as a 'troll'.

/me didn't know this topic was already posted

Ahh, that makes sense now. Well, my original post still stands though. :-)

Yeah, since rick locked the last one, I will too :P
