Let's Make This Community A BETTER Place!

@BestBeer, I want to personally thank you for your participation in this. Leaving behind past quarrels and coming together as a team is exactly the kind of spark the we need to get this movement going.

Honestly, thank you man.

@Terminator

Thank you for sharing this story and also adding what you could have done better. The fact that you are able to recognize that and assess yourself honestly is the kind of quality that we need to convey here.

You are most welcome in the club btw, you all are.

Already joined! Let me know if there are any logic trolls!

Your stance with new change and effort is fantastic Colby! God Bless You and more power to your new leaf of goodness becoming a reality! 👍

Honestly, it feels good. Because I know that we have had differences in the past, but we put it behind us and came together in friendship. That's exactly what we need to show the others. Your support in this really means a lot, I truly mean that.

What I’m saying is There are some “smart” trolls, i.e. they use there own intelligence for their own purpose. Some people in particular use logic to troll people because most people don’t know how to respond to their posts.

😊

What if whenever anyone started a troll post, as soon as that OP returned he then instantly layed down a warning to that troll, and in a comforting way, and if persisted he was then blocked until he realized his silly behavior and desired a return to participate in such great change?

Lol I’m saying in any thread, a troll posted his troll behavior 

.....say you had made a thread, and some troll posted something ridiculous, some absurd gif or something, then warned.

You are all welcome to drop in btw.

Thanks the offer, Colby, but I’ve learned through the years that groups easily get controversial and that drama I rather not, and enough these threads a group to me, but ty.

No problem man, if you hang around the topic that's cool too. 

Colby-Covington is right. As long as you don’t any recent history of troublesome posts, anyone can join the club and help our forums!

If their posts are troll posts, they display a pattern similar to trolls, downright rude, or any other behavior that wouldn’t be considered nice. Any one of these can be grounds for club entrance denial.

Well, someone who causes a lot of trouble, especially for fun. The previous definition doesn’t make the person a troll.

Well, I think especially in our case, we should establish our own definition of what qualifies as a troll.

In my opinion a forum troll is an individual who isn't interested in participating in any regular activities or discussions, but pursues the simple and only goal of causing disruption and drama wherever and whenever they possibly can. I think those are the kind of people Terminator is referring to.

Agreed.

Hey @EnergeticHay thanks for dropping in! We are determined to make a change now. New topic, new club and we are working out a bunch of plans right now.

What do you mean? We transferred the posting rules from the Elite, but that's just generic stuff and I didn't wanna write them down again.

We have clear goals that we would like to achieve, I put it in the OP in case you missed it.

I’m saying in any thread, a troll posted his troll behavior 

.....say you had made a thread, and some troll posted something ridiculous, some absurd gif or something, first warned, then if they continued blocked. This not only will help him, but persuade others creating threads only such peaceful directions.
