Are you saying if enough people ignore a troll the forum will get herd immunity?

Turd immunity

I honestly have no idea what point you think you are making.

Rather than mods directly perma-banning an annoying troll who was ruining several of the “front page” threads, the community voted to perma-ban him.

Sounds to me like the process worked fine and dandy.

What rule did he break?

Being a troll.

Define “troll” so it can be objectively applied moving forward and mods can go ahead and save the community the grief of these discussions and repeated complaints and jump straight to perma. Thanks in advance

Please read my earlier posts in this thread.

I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [“hard-core pornography”], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it , and the motion picture involved in this case is not that.

I have. They’re not helpful as best as I recall. whos got this

Nah, I think the values-based system is better. Granted, it might not survive expansion. But literally how these people operate is by identifying the line and trying to find a way to step over it without being banned. People ITT have talked about ‘not touching you’ and so forth, and that’s a good way of expressing it, but I think a better way is to say that these guys make a game of finding some way to violate the spirit, but not the letter, of whatever rule you put in place.

If he wants to come back, he’ll come back. Some of the most ardent pro-ban people have made that clear, even if they didn’t mean to. But I won’t be sorry if he doesn’t, either about the fact of it, or about how it happened.

Well, as I recall, they explain precisely why that method doesn’t work for people who are determined to simply annoy others.

It’s a shame this wasn’t included with the first poll. It’s good to know that the 70% is good for something tho.

Yeah so as a guy who’s clearly about to go a hilarious 0 for 2 on these calls I’m about to get Lee Corso in here to address this take.

I mean I cannot be the only one sick of her bullshit act. I’ve got her on ignore for weeks and take one single peek at an ignored poast in the LC thread and it’s some idiotic lament about how fucking hard the white man must have it JFC are you kidding me

You’ve got to give her some leeway for not being American. She’s cool and has a different perspective on things.

“It must be really hard to be a white male” yeah that’s a cool and different and unusual street in Takesville let’s see where it leads

I mean if I’m wrong and it’s just a lolforeigners thing then whatever fine but I’ve seen enough to know better. I’ll go back to ignoring her and leave it be.

I mean, yeah, she’s wrong but that isn’t a crime. She’s genuine, from a different part of the world, and a woman. Let’s not chase her away for some bad takes that are mostly the result of cultural differences and some language barrier.

I don’t get the lapka hate at all, maybe I missed something.

I like lapka a lot as a person. She seems genuine and willing to learn. Her ignorance on a few topics doesn’t come from a malicious place, more of a curious one.

I am that way too, so I sympathize. I am ignorant on a lot of stuff but I don’t even have an excuse, other than I was raised by pieces of shit.
