Hope the moderation gets more aggressive soon, or this place is fuuuucked. There's already like three the_donald magazines.
Opposing political opinions are not trolls. Let's not be like Reddit where "opposite opinion" = bad.
No, but fascists are troll (and worse. Much worse). And yes, trump and his cult are fascists
Actually, they should be reported. Don't just scroll pass if you see harassment or hate speech.
Is that all it takes to trigger you?
Thanks for providing a comment to test the report feature with.
Not sure there’s anything to report with the previous comment; yet I don’t disagree with it being a dick thing to say.
Way back in the way back we used to call comments like that “flame baiting”. It’s trying to start a fight, nothing more. Forums and BBs I moderated used to technically ban it, but generally the rule has always just been “don’t feed the trolls”. Meaning: don’t comment, don’t downvote, don’t bother reporting. They just want attention, the only thing that hurts them is realizing that this board will ignore them just as completely as their parents already do in real life.
Yes. Back then there wasn't any upvoting or downvoting, so the only way you interacted with a troll is either engage them or ignore them...preferably the latter.
Images like this were typical...yet helpful.
The k-soc terms of service state:
Harassment, hate speech, or any other form of harmful behavior will not be tolerated.
Now, I can't read ernest's mind to determine what he meant by this line exactly, but this kind of mean spirited, bad-faith jab falls under "harmful behaviour" in my book.
If you want to be neck deep in that bullshit, you're more than welcome to join exploding-heads.com. Can we have ONE space online that isn't infiltrated by assholes?
You don't have to be a dick to others on the Internet. You can make that choice. Just because you CAN post hateful shit anonymously and not have to face real life consequences doesn't mean you HAVE to.
How exactly do you report them? I tried to report one troll I saw, but couldn’t find the option.
