Please explain this to me....

I don't either but if there is a problem at all or a post is reported I try to catch it right away

ive been on message boards for almost 10 years, and ive run my share of aviation ones. This is how it is- you have a base of people, who dont all agree, but do get along. Every week or so you get a new person that just wants to stir up dissent, and usually ends up being banned or something. We call these folks "trolls." This is what you get with a free message board-take it or leave it. We took one of our aviation forums, and made it 10 dollars a year. Drastic difference- no more trolls, no more fights, no more BS.

I've seen a few trolls already. I dont' reply or I'll call them out. This is why I won't post pics of my children either. I think it's sad that some people seriously have NOTHING better to do with their lives then to try and stir crap.

 

[fallon]

we've only had a serious troll problem once since I've been here and it was handled quickly

 

[musicmom]

Spammers, trolls........one of the same?

 

[Kaytee]

spammers are different...they want to sell something or have something to gain by sending you to their site...Trolls come to cause havoc, they make a bunch of nasty comments and try to bait people into fights. They have nothing to gain it's all enjoyment for them

 

[musicmom]

I see.

 

[fallon]

spammers we get plenty of...lol but we try to handle that pretty quick also

 

[musicmom]

I've noticed that you are pretty good at that too.
Do you know I sat on this computer talking to you all for 3 hours yesturday. I think I have a problem..hahaha
I've cut it down to a half hour today. I'm making myself go do something else. I think I just like to type.

 

[fallon]

[Kaytee]

Yeah, I think there is a forum for that!

 

[Kaytee]

there are some that say yes, it can be a truw addiction, just like porn and other semi-related things

 

[musicmom]

Seriously? That's too funny. I don't think I'm quite there just yet. hahaha I'm glad I just got high speed though. I would have been here all day and night on my dial up.
It's a whole new world with high speed! I'm having too much fun!!

 

[jenilouise]
