Trolls are running rampant

[KoldFusion]

This is getting rediculous..... I have seen more trolling in the last 24 hours than I have seen since I signed on here...... I plead with the PSU staff.... Please BAN these chronic abusers..... Save for people who have established themselves here like Dio and the like.... But all this senseless "Any women here?" adolesence crap needs to stop.... i'm done ranting

[Hamma]

There is only so much you can do. I can't ban everyone and just keep the "original" folks just because it was a better enviroment.

PSU was plastered all over the internet the past few days due to the beta announcment on our show. This is why we have had an influx of new folks. I have not seen all these "trolls" you speak of tho :p at least not in the massive amounts you say

[Bighoss]

Hamma I've cut my trolling back haven't I?

Once a troll, always a troll.

[Hamma]

:lol:

I take back part of my previous post after reading game discussion this morning.

[Ludio]

Thanks for putting up the conduct warning, normally there are a couple of trolls (although we love them because they bring some character to the forums :D ), but it's been getting out of control recently. After the last day or two I yearn for the likes of RabidPlatypus. Well yearn may not be the right word, but it wasn't as bad as it is now.

YES!!! I've always wanted to bring character. Without a troll like me or no trolls everyone would be a troll because you would have no one to compare to:D

[CyricMoonblade]

so um.... whats a troll lol? i keep thinking of a big ugly green guy... for some reason its not quit contrasting in my head to this forum lol... anyone explain... prolly something simple.. but you know i dont have the bestt l33t talk or whatever

[Sputty]

A troll is someone who'lll just say somehting, often knowingly, to start an argument and start flames I believe. They just go around and do that.

[Mtx]

It's always trolls that seem to be the problem. It's never the elves or dwarves. Why? :D

[Sputty]

Depending on what type of elf. The mischeivious sprite type or the Tolkien/D&D type. Also, Dwarves pwn you!

[Hamma]

On the Internet, a troll is a person who posts messages that create controversy or an angry response without adding content to the discussion, often intentionally. Though technically different from flaming which is an unmistakable direct personal attack, trolls often resort to innuendo or misdirection in the pursuit of their objective, which is to create controversy for its own sake, discredit those with whom they disagree, or sabotage discussion by creating an intimidating atmosphere.

An example: Look over there!(person looks away and then person who told the pother person to look smacks him)..wow...that didn't work at all planned...I'm babbling again...Msut be nervouis about soethig...School...argh...

You can't? :(

It's interesting to see so many of you silly little monkeys jump around and react to my post which created the associative link between PS players and certain members of the canine family. Your predictable reactions are exactly what I expected from such a lowbrow, intellectually dead race of Neanderthals who barely possess the ability to use primitive tools. I'm sure it will take you months before your ape-like brains are able to comprehend anything I've just posted. Now go back to your pathetic excuses for lives.

[Hamma]

:huh:

[Mopo]

Dont look at me :no:

[ABRAXAAS]

Speaking of Troll's has anyone here seen the movie Troll,its messed up, the person thatr wrote Harry Potter must have stolen her idea from there cause there was a kid in that movie that was called Harry Potter and he was mad a wizard:eek: thats fucked up

I wish I could learn the way of the mensa troll:tear:

[Flameseeker]

Hey.... Wait a minute. MTX IS INSULTING US GUYS! :mad: :nazi:

[ABRAXAAS]

Actually he's just insulting himself:D

[Bighoss]

HAHA I am a troll and I am running RAMPANT

[Camping Carl]

Official forum people are migrating here. I actually went to the official forums today, the very first post I read was this:

There should be a weapon called the Ultimatum, which kills everyone in the game instantly (even the people not close to you) but once you use it, your account is banned forever.

I thought he was just being a troll, but then I read the rest of the thread, he was actually serious! :eek:

Many of the people who we say are trolling probably don't see it that way.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

rofl :lol: :rofl:

[Nohimn]

am I a troll? I have trolled several times but overall I'm a spammer. But do I qualify as a troll?I remember I trolled on that arguement with CrazyMike about n00bs at the official forums, but I think that might be the only time I trolled... unless I'm not thinking hard enough...:confused:

[Tobias]

I have done some bad things but I am not a Troll, and Nohimn I dont think your a troll, you have had a bit of spam, but your not a troll.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

I agree he's a spam whore not a troll :D

[Bighoss]

okay honestly on a scale of 1-10 here how bad of a troll am I? I would be more than willing to cut back IF you are honest on the scale of my trolling.

[Nohimn]

good! I'm not on Hamma's ban list (or at least NO WHERE near the top):D

[BLuE_ZeRO]

I'd say a 4 or 5. Spam whore = 12

[Nohimn]

DAMMIT! I'm a spamwhore!!

[Lexington_Steele]

I am sure that I am on Hamma's "evil political thread guys" list.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Indeed :brow: I'm probably on his "Incredibly Sexy" list

[Nohimn]

if only hamma released a ban list

[ABRAXAAS]

We could do a30 min tv show and get John Walsh to star in it
we could call it "PSU's most wanted" :D

[Nohimn]

I also think that AGN should do something like that!:D

[BLuE_ZeRO]

:rofl:

what's a spam whore and how do I not be one? I'll go troll light but I dunno if I can get it all out

[Nohimn]

:spam: :spam: :spam:

[Nohimn]

that's

[Nohimn]

how:D

[Bighoss]

so post less and be more useful?

[Nohimn]

yes

[Bighoss]

that's hard

(is that spam? if it is I might go insane)

[Nohimn]

I'm the king of spam on this forum. Everywhere I go, you will see spam. But I try not to:(

[Tobias]

When posting think does your post do one or both of these things:

Does it help to inform others about aspects of planetside

Is it funny to people other then yourself and ABBRAXXAS or however you spell his name?

If it is then its not spam. The WAT is ok to post nonsese in, as are some funny lounge posts.

[Nohimn]

but I almost ALWAYS post in the lounge. Hamma still calls it spam. I R SO CONFUSED

[Bighoss]

we all have a little spam in us;)

[Lexington_Steele]

Some more than others.

[Doobz]

no, we all have the same amount, its just the amount of self-constraint some place over their spam

[Hamma]

3 one word posts in a row

talking in a thread like its a chatroom

adding nothing to the conversation

= spam

[�io]

:stupid::thumbsup::nod:

[KoldFusion]

Dio :love:

[�io]

Right back at you Mega..uhh i mean KoldFusion. :D

[Unregistered]

When Hamma was but a wee little poster in another forum he was the king of Spam. Here are but a few of Hamma's classic responces:

" . " Yes, that is a period, and that's all it is.

"Indeed" Sometimes were not even sure what it was he was agreeing with.

" ~ " This we all decided was an Anthrax Spore that Hamma was trying to unleash in certian threads.

" <~> " Properly contained Anthrax.

Back in those days MTX was also our Official Forum Troll, and we started calling him an "Attack Hamster" because he was visious yet non threatening all at once. Over time Hamma's posts got longer, and MTX mellowed out, and we grew to enjoy having him on the boards.

So let this be a lesson to all you spammers, and would be trolls. Even the great ones had the same humble beginings.

[�io]

Heh, Hamma still does reply with a "." or "indeed" or other 1 word posts once in a while Unreg. :p

[BLuE_ZeRO]

He does this now >> :brow: <<
