Dave graciously tried the Grand Troll Experiment at the urging of Moderators and posters alike and soon we found the Troll was actually just looking for a spotlight. As it turned out every single flaw of a troll was already built into the rules as they exist. We paid homage to Troll for nothing.
Mr. Troll, in his greed to be known, became the subject of LOC isolating all the ROC Trolls (and there were many of you) and ROC isolating all the LOC Trolls (and there were just as many of you.) It displayed itself as a conversation stopper: “Troll!” “Troll Alert” “I see Troll” “YOU are a Troll” “He/she/they is/are Troll(s)” which of course broke the rule on Self-Moderating. Reports reflected it “This is a troll and he/she must be banned” the reported post may have read “I disagree with what you are saying, strongly.”
So as you can see where the Troll is concerned, after a fine experiment he has received his Pink Slip. We no longer need his services. He came in under false pretenses and he is now Banned in the Grand Troll Experiment.
We present the evidence ladies and gentlemen of the jury:
Thread-jacking irrelevant posts- See Hijacking. Also see “Off Topic” coming soon with a title of its own
Baiting and bickering – See No name calling or personally attacking posters. See “Off Topic” when it arrives formally or as found informally in rules currently.
meaningless posts removed – See pretty much every rule
Identified through repeated infractions serious – See Infractions but seriously if you are breaking all these related rules continuously you are probably already gone so be-gone troll be-gone!
No Hijacking - See: If they jump into a thread or post of yours to make a personal attack, then that is what we consider hijacking. Also see "Personally attacking poster" and “Off Topic” coming soon.
Flames - See: No reliving old wars from other websites unrelated to Political Jack. Leave your Flame Wars and old website boards and information behind. Also see Personally attacking poster.
We rest our case.
