Proposal for a solution to the Lounge troll situation!
-
Okay, we all know that a troll wants attention - whether they are replies, abuses, down-votes, or people just talking about them. Don't give them that, they go away. So where's the problem? Problem's that people reply to a troll, engage him in conversation, abuse him, and generally do everything possible to make sure he comes back every day! Here's my proposal : (1) Vote for removal any troll attempts by the troll (2) Vote for removal any post that's a reply to (1) The big thing with (2) is that regular members will find that if they respond to a troll, their post will be voted down / removed. Many people care about rep scores, so this alone would stop them doing it. And assuming they don't care about rep scores, they will still not like seeing their post shown as auto-removed. If you like this suggestion, please give me a show of hands. If about 7 to 8 of us (Gold or higher status members) can actively do this, then I think we can solve the troll problem.
