What's the mod/admin policy on trolling?

[runnah]

I think that the forum goes through phases between happy and angry, currently we are in an angry phase, there is a lot if heated discussions and clashing if the titans. Everything spills over into other threads until it reaches its boiling point. At the boiling point usually a Titan or two blows their stack, steam is let off and the forum settles back into a creative happy phase and people venture back into the galleries... Until... the clash starts again usually over a technical point or a simple inability to allow someone the leeway to have a differing opinion.

Once in a while we just need some comedic relief to help the shift back to happy

If you guys are Titans than I am the clockwork owl.

I would also like to point out, that when threads start to get censured, people complain about the forum being "over moderated"

This. I think TPF is more than a little too far on the side of over moderation. Threads routinely get locked just because mods don't think they are sufficiently close to being on topic or something like that, sometimes even when the OP is participating in the change in topic, and other times even though nobody is complaining about the derailment and discussion is being productive and interesting and civil (just not about the original thing).

Or two threads about the same thing, so long as they were not started by the same person or right at the same time, why are we locking those? That's just annoying and micromanaging.

Locking is IMO something that should only be done when people are actually being spiteful at one another or name calling or being otherwise aggressive/hurtful, or headed directly toward that (like bringing up hardcore partisan political ideologies would be a reason to lock, even if nobody has responded in an insulted fashion yet, because it's obviously going to happen soon)

I am sure no one would mind if you wanted to start your own online forum, and run it the way you choose to!

Who defines what is "spiteful "name calling" "aggressive/hurtful"? What doesn't bother you, may make someone else leave the forum forever! Very subjective... and the mods "middle of the road" it, pretty well!

I say that^.. even having had more issues and temp bans than most....

I have friends too. Emily, Charlie, Jessica, Josh....

Really? Please don't assume!

I think we should just do it the way we did growing up and in the Army ... no need for all the verbal jousting. Just go outside, beat the holy living chit out of each other... winner is clear and you go back to getting along afterwards.

I would feel bad beating up women and old men.

I've met some women and old men that would unceremoniously beat the crap out of you in the time it took to feel bad... :lmao: women and old people are mean ...

 

[ShooterJ]

I was trying to arrest this biker chick one night.. holy @$%@! weapons of mass destruction... that girl didn't fight fair..

I considered using the gun... on me, if I couldn't get a shot off at her. :lmao:

Probably, I bruise easily and cry at the drop of a hat.

Are you a cop or do you just try to detain women for fun?

 

[ShooterJ]

LOL.. I'm a cop. I think if I were just doing it for fun I'd pick women who didn't outweigh me and have "Born To Kill" tattoos.

You should "hook" her and Runnah up.. sounds like just his type! lol!

Well we all have our own tastes in women and I don't like to judge others for theirs. If you like beefy women with questionable judgement so be it.

He bruises easy and cries ... I'd just wind up arresting her again for domestic violence.. and the first time was no fun. Lol

Hey.. any woman that would date me, automatically has questionable judgement! That is a given! Beefy? I like weight proportionate ladies... If I can't pick 'em up and carry them off... I'll pass!
