Ok, deleted 4 paragraphs.. We need to bring back the Kitties (Viking Kitties/ZoT)..
It is getting 'lax' here on FR, and I have received both Freepmail and email about the currant situation...
Did you 2 want on the list?
"I usually smack ‘em verbally a time or two and then ignore them."
You must have missed all the troll attacks before you signed up......unless you’re a retread.
😏
Zots go way back :)
Allegra.....I, personally, like your....”You pesky gnat!” smack.
I’ve borrowed it, even ;-)
One more thing you may not be aware of, is the fact that Hitlery had a whole gang created back in the early 2000s specifically FOR disrupting this site.
“I haven’t seen anyone get banned lately but I may have missed it. Posts have been removed for “overly passionate language” known as profanity but no one was banned.”
And you are absolutely right, me either. It has been very rare. Which is a GOOD thing for the domain here.
Do you wan on the list, sis?
I’m not on FR much but, sure.
I’ve borrowed it, even ;-)
I’m flattered. 😊
And I’ll have to admit, I kind of enjoy swatting a pot-stirrer or troll for a minute.
Then they become tiresome.
I’ve noticed that the only people who are against the return of the zot are too new to even know what the zot was all about.
You and others have done a very good job explaining it to the 2 of them but they refuse to understand.
Arguing for arguments sake is nonproductive.

A keyword for you.
Oh, I see your problem.
Since Jun 27, 2019
Is that a problem today? I see long time members pegging each other as trolls just because they don’t agree. Where is the line?
When they respond to your one “gnat-swatting” post three or four times, you know you’ve gotten to them. 😄

You are still missing the point. Technically the “celebration” happens AFTER the troll has already been Zotted by the Boss or Admin.
There are sometimes, when a troll is a known troll and troublemaker, that people start poking at him/her for trolling.
This list is not about harassing people, it is after the action (zot) has already been done.
Actually, there were 2 that have been banned (Zotted,the same day, if I remember right) within the last couple of weeks. Both had the same noob FR BoD (born on date). (BoD was a month or 2)
Many of us suspected that they were the same person, and both were trolls.
THEY needed the VKs badly.
HG, did you wan on the list?
I get the point. But would looking forward to that celebration cause more aggressiveness than normal in hopes to help create a zot celebration against a member? Even to the point of competitiveness? Human nature comes into play here... :)
I must have missed them because usually when I’m on FR I’m doing stuff for the FReepathon. I don’t normally read the threads but just post memes.
sure, thanks
