Well, we have to be very careful here too - as you’ve noticed. We try, and I see a lot of people trying with you, to be harsh on the trolls as possible but as kind to the real people as possible. The trolls mess up by muddying the message, making it seem like there is debate on what q is saying when there’s not.
And so many people fall right into the trap by engaging them.
If I didn’t know better, I would believe they are actually working with the trolls to help them achieve their goal of getting Q posters and threads permabanned.
Somebody pointed out though, we know we can ignore trolls, if we got really good compliance we could SHADOWBAN trolls. THey would never get going if nobody replied, since they are always commenting on the first few replies of the bread.
“Uncivil discourse is a problem too. The trolls seek escalation of harsh tones, to get the thread pulled by JimRob methinks.”
I did not know until yesterday that FR has other closed threads where you will be kicked off immediately with no muss or fuss. I saw a thread about Pope Francis promoting mortal sin yesterday and left a comment stating that I’m not Catholic but I have come to the conclusion that Vatican City is Mystery Babylon in Revelations. I did not realize that “Catholic Caucus” meant only CATHOLICS can post in the thread. By the time I got the message (which was very nice explaining things) my comment had been removed and what looked like a couple of comments directed at me, but not positive of that. I was OK with that and now that I know, I wouldn’t dream of going on there again. Do you think if we put “Qanon Caucus” we can get rid of trolls easier? Are there any Baptist Caucus threads?
