Case Study: "Operation Troll Picker" (Thanks, Allen -- it works really FAST!)
One of my threads just got spammed by a troll. This is a case study of what happened (it's very short):
Case study of Warrior Forum anti-trolling system:
I was online working on my thread, hit the 'preview' button and saw that a troll-spam post has just been 'deposited' on my thread - one of those one-liners about the price being too high.
So I hit the "report post" button (that little red and white triangle in the bottom left corner of the post) and typed:
Results of case study:
The combination of reporting the troll post and the incredibly fast response by the support team blasted the spam in less than 30 seconds! Now THAT'S FAST!
Conclusions:
Report the dirty basta*ds as soon as you find 'em. We don't need to start complaint threads about the troll problem anymore. Allen has armed us all with weapons and ammo...so go get those trolls!
FYI - I called it "operation troll picker" because the trolls remind me of the nasty ticks that harassed my dog last summer. Thank god, he doesn't get them often. But when you find a tick, you have to pick it off right away, or it will spawn and multiply and make the poor dog really sick.
The point is, you can't just ignore them and hope they'll go away. They won't. In the worst case scenario, they'll take over and kill the dog.
That's how I see the troll problem on the internet. Now that's it's been unleashed, it will never completely go away. So it's important to know they exist AND to get rid of them as fast as you find them.
It's really not okay to just ignore trolls on a thread. If left alone, they really can 'kill the dog'.
So...Thanks, Allen, for putting an EXCELLENT troll picking system in place. And thanks to the EXCELLENT support team -- I just clicked on a great big virtual 'Thank You' button for your EXCELLENT response!
Cheers,
Audre
