And you do understand that we have a report button? Educating the masses is the next step!
Yes.

Its the way the Escapists act when a troll is around that concerns me, yes report them, but the way they reply to trolls feeding them clearly shows they are amateurs in dealing with such things.

This is referencing the "New Year's Invasion"?

I'm proud to say that I stopped a troll thread at the root with a giant picture of a troll with the caption "DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS".

I was the first response. The thread got no more traffic, an excellent example of what a troll thread SHOULD look like.

Uhh guys, I'm pretty sure this thread tells you NOT to post in troll threads.

What are you doing right now? Yup.. Stop it

True, there was a troll thread not too long ago and i warned people to stop posting, but then it got over 120+ posts

I think his name was Tehan

On a somewhat related note, I've attempted to report an obvious case of forum infringement awhile ago but the report button was simply stuck at "Reporting..."

Does the button still work or is there some sort of glitch going on or what?

This is the same for me as well. Just PM a bad thread to a mod though and they'll take care of it.

Seriously... who trolls these forums? You're only supposed to troll forums full of stupid people.
Right you are. It is very unlikely we care much for 'intelligent' gaming discussion, and attempting to ruin it. We trolls are much more likely to lurk on YouTube or DeviantART, as they hold the most weeaboo faggots who are extremely butthurt and/or 'sensitive'. I can't speak for all trolls here, but when I have free time off from cleansing the tubes, I hang out in places that have a population that can tie their shoes without their mom's help.

Now, on to you, Mr.OP.

That sums up my thoughts and feelings towards you quite well.
All in favour this gentleman be set on fire?

Aye!

Seems the report button is being a bit sluggish lately, and trolls are having way too much time to spam threads (remember last night?).

It's fun to feed trolls.
They say so stupid things when you do!
And they still get banned anyway...
I'm always far more entertained by the stupid things people being trolled say.
That. If you are letting yourself be trolled you deserve to be trolled, imo. The reason trolls 'do it' as the OP states is that they are trying purposefully to piss you off, annoy you or make you show your bad side. Seriously replying them in a pissed off or annoyed way means that they've achieved their goal with usually little effort - if you're stupid enough to let that happen to you, I *am* going to laugh about it.

That said, while there's plenty of stupidity around (heck, even here), the best and only way to deal with a troll is the one stated in the OP. We only seem to get horrible trolls around here who just spam racial slur and it doesn't seem like anyone here is stupid enough to actually fall for that and reporting and move on is simply the easiest way of dealing with them.

For example, Eminem, Marilyn Manson, Glenn Beck, Jon Stewart, etc. are all professional trolls (though Manson is the only one who kinda looks like one too). They say and do things to get a rise out of people. I find Stewart fairly entertaining, but will admit that sometimes he's just saying things to piss people off.

Ninjas don't use katanas, sillyhead, they use ninja-tos. Samurai used katanas.

Sorry for double post, but that is a really weeaboo name, and overused since bleach -.-
the formal name, I believe, is : shinobigatana

Weeaboo? Or maybe I'm just a D&D player who read the weapon description in some random D&D rulebook. Plus, you're the one referencing anime, something I really have little interest in.

The formal name is indeed ninjato, ninjaken, or shinobigatana. Basically all three mean "ninja sword" in some form.

Okay, thank you, I will have my facts straight next time.
