Actually the troll posts are about the same as usual. We've been seeing a huge increase in the number of quality responses by newbies though. They are just excited and are posting a lot of vanities lately. Mostly, they are good additions. We just need to work with them. But, that comes with being a newbie. They are excited, they want to contribute, they've found a forum that they can relate to, but they are clogging up the news forum with their thoughts. With everyone's help, we can teach them to be effective freepers. It's just a newbie thang...
Can't we just gang up on them and put them through a cyber-hazing?
How 'bout hazing!? Can we haze 'em?
Hey!
I got the ritual hazing when I signed up!
The horrible tasks to perform, the beat-down with a rubber chicken, the wrestling the smoking computer monitor task, and cutting the mightiest tree down with a herring.
When did that get superceded, and do I get bonus miles for it?

Tell them they can only post naked. Maybe they'll think twice before hitting send!
