Are you talking to the trolls? Because I promise they’ll just take this as encouragement.

As a Zandalari Troll main i feel very offended.

On a serious note: Youre not going to prevent troll posting. Ever. There isnt a single company/community that managed that.

Just need to require 2 references and a $200 down payment to post.

The trolls will manage to acquire even that

People need to stop replying. Your zinger and facts will change nothing to

Sure, you can’t prevent it, but you can minimize it with good moderation. FFXIV’s doing a pretty decent job of it. Hell, WoW used to be notorious for good community moderation.

It’s doable. Saying otherwise is just displaying a defeatist attitude.

The European forum, since always, wants a word with you.

Sorry, i’m not a 24-hour hotline.

The ones doing it aren’t gonna stop. Look at the first reply you got.

People troll because it works. There’s people here famous for troll posting, and they’re successful because any time they post, a few hundred posts reply to disagree with them, giving the trolls exactly what they want.

The trolls are Pavlov, and the ones replying are the dogs.

How did you post without 10char? :dracthyr_nervous_animated:

I agree. Remove all Troll avatars from the forums.

You type in a fake tag to fill the space. Like this.

Also, not everyone agrees on the definition of “trolling”. A fair number of posters think that “anyone who disagrees with me is trolling and should be removed from the forums”.

Oh yes there was. Back when I moderated for Vivendi/Sierra/Dynamix. We didn’t take no crap. :smiling_imp:
