Has anyone ever thought about making a spare account on the side, doing some premeditated trolling, getting reported by friends, and then actually seeing what the repercussions are? I would NEVER do such a thing, but I was curious if anyone else might have...
I'm a lover not a fighter. But I'm also a fighter so don't get any ideas...
its against the ToS (15.2.g and 16.4.a) and you do know your not supposed to discuss moderation, right?
Your such a good little forum police officer, quoting all there silly little rules.
And you think there is trolling now just wait till optional fail = fail. Can see people pushing spheres to the tranformers in ISE, probes into the gateway on KASE, oh yes there will be trolling and rage.

either way i attempt a response at that its just a waste of time. so where was i on this thread..
Don't pug it. If they came from a channel, report them to the channel admins so they can be blocked.
Finally, remove the name from the original post.
every time i pug, most fail optional but i dont really care about the optional much, and sometimes you probably wont have anyone else or a fleet to be with that can give you your fix in fast round of superspeedy stfs, you may end up pugging it anyways.
as for the game chat, i tend to think thats not monitored despite the ToS stating otherwise, in any event, why react to trash talk like that? just dont react no ignore or anything like that, let em play up, they either stop or they will burn themselves out eventually, but you just leave em to drive their own vehicle off the cliff, then thats that, not like you will notice they ever reached to the bottom when you far enough way in a matter of writing, your already laughing your way through several packets or popcorn if you are entertained by such behavior otherwise you just forget it and continue on. thats what i do, i just leave them to do what they please and then it ends, next issue... or you can use the abused ignore feature, but whatever floats your boat i guess.

:O
Maybe that's what happened yesterday. Had an cse PUG blown so fast my first shield heal didn't have time to recharge. NOw it makes sense that 4 ships couldn't keep 4 BoP's from killing Kang before the 1st 3 nanite probes in the scenerio died.
I like it too but what's to stop griefers from making disposable accounts and using them to name and shame innocents?
And since this game doesn't enforce unique names, they could even make disposable accounts and use the same character name to make phony chat logs by turning off the global names.
Then they could take and post screenshots of their victim saying all kinds of offensive and bannable stuff.
And since Cryptic doesn't discuss moderation no one will ever know that a person was accused falsely and the accuser's account punished/banned.
Yes I know, I know, I just wish it would stop. I just don't understand that mindset, and I guess it's probably better that way. I guess once you start understanding them you're one step closer to becoming them.
He waits till we are done, and stands right on the other side of the force field and demands money for the bajoran liberation front to allow us to complete the rest of the stf. I reported to a GM, no idea if they can do anything but I don't want anyone else to go in uninformed. So if any of you join a group with this guy be careful.:mad:
In the interest of being informed, did you know that if you walk up to his force field, turn sideways and type /stuck in to the chatbox that you will teleport right past him?
So he says "Gimme me money for my idiotic cause"...? Just leave... Sucks to be him, and you aren't really that far through the mission anyways.
Let's not get carried away. Trolls aren't anything remotely like terrorists.
I do agree with your sentiment, however. Giving in to a troll's demands or arguing is just fanning the flames. The single best thing you can do to counter a troll is to simply ignore him/her and go on about your day. Don't feed the trolls, it only encourages them.
