PSA: Do not engage with trolls

[dutchdude117]

Hi everyone!

If you see a post that is overtly trolling in negative or counter productive ways, please refrain from engaging with it.
The troll post will be deleted, along with any engagement with the troll post.
So if you want to avoid having your posts deleted, do not engage with the trolls.

Any questions or concerns (e.g. if you want to edit a post that was deleted) feel free to contact me in DMs or messages to @Community Team

I won't lie, when we're lucky to get 3 or 4 posts a day on the entire forums, and 2 of them are basically "post less" I get pretty sad.

feels like I missed some sort of event. ah well. as dansil said, there's little to no discussion on the forums anymore

Reinvigorating some of the discussion by allowing trolly content for the sake of posting volume isn't a solution either.

Well some people are arguing that we shouldn't be too harsh on troll posts cause else the whole place dies down even more. I just made a counterpoint to that explaining why it's important to uphold rules even in tight circumstances (low amount of posts in general).

how would one arbitrate if a post is a troll or not? I thought the ear was trolling for years until I realized that's just his posting style. I now regret my hostility

Trolls have 2 ears, plus other body parts, so the ear is definitely not a troll.
