Trolls.....

[serpentine5]

First off, I am not "reviving" this issue to piss anyone off, especially Princess. Its just that after reading that thread I had to respond.

I see what you mean, the little kid in that thread has a serious attitude problem, definitely one for the BAN can - doesn't take too much class to bad-mouth Stinky, when she's trying to help - (especially if you were too damned lazy to do a little simple research BEFORE growing, and then expect someone to walk you thru it)

Frank - That's what this troll does. You can see the pattern in all of his posts. He comes on and asks a question requiring a detailed answer that he could have discovered with research, then drags it on and on with stupid questions.

Stinky really pisses-off this particular troll. (He mouthed off to her earlier this month and was banned under a different user name.) It's funny because the little asshole troll can't take Stinky's directness and always ends up throwing insults at her.

I am the type of person who can read something 5 times and still get nothing out of it. If I am looking for info I do search the relevant boards for the info I need, and read as much about it as I can in the attempt to get the knowlege I need. Over 80% of the time I cannot retain the info from what I have read. I have been like this my whole life. You walk me through how to do something hands on, I am good as gold...
When I read this responces in the thread about trolls, I couldnt help but feel sorry for all the folks including myself who post here and are ignored.... I probably have and will post a "DUMB" question here and now I know why if will not be answered. Is there a clique here that only talks to the in crowd and everyone that is inexperianced and young and dumb is excluded and considered a leaper?
I am not trying to get crap started here, just to understand if this is a place I want to continue to hang around and try to learn from or if it would be pointless and I should try to find a better cannabis board to post on....

Attidude issues aside... when you have a noob to the board and he/she posts and the post is ignored for no other reason that you think it is a kid... hell, you want the kid on the streets getting the info the wrong way? grins... Seriously tho, if thats how it is on this board, please, let me know so I wont waste my time or yours here.
Thanks

The poster wasn't originally trying to troll anyone. In fact, from what I saw he was not really trolling at all. He was flaming, though. He shouldn't be calling people bitches and things like that just because HE cannot understand something. Really, it's nobody's fault but his, in my opinion. He was not ignored. In fact, a reputable person in this forum responded with help. It's not her fault that he didn't understand what she was saying. That's no reason to flame anyone. But like I said, from what I saw, he is not really a troll at all. If he was, though, then he certainly got the attention he was looking for. By making this post you are only feeding him more, if he is indeed a troll (which I'm pretty sure he isn't--you're just making him out to be a troll by making all these threads about him, and calling him a troll, and a kid).

why are all these peeps makin threads like these?? i don't get it.. iv never experienced harsh words from anyone and iv seen some who have and it was comin like above example calling names come on now, and you expect people to just be ok go ahead call me a bitch, uh no.. you wouldn't be like that... and just because you think they have learning disability that doesn't mean its a plausible excuse. come on now grow up brush it off its just a cannabis board and most the people here that i have associated with have been awesome.. and plus your stating that your going to leave the board and if people are trolls like you said you really think they would care??? and im pretty sure none of them do.. everyone here is an individual deal with it...

I agree with you completely.

Kid/ nOOb questions are different from shit attitude, and that includes when it seems the poster in question is putting others in danger by growing, such as if a kid is growing in the closet without his parents' permission- I absolutely REFUSE to answer any of that shit except with, 'take it OUTSIDE'.
nOOb questions are fine by me- of course I can get a bit cranky when the Q was answered already 4 times that DAY (yes it happens!!!)... but all in all, they don't get ignored...
But when a poster decides to double post or keep bumping because he thinks the Q is not getting answered FAST enough, yeah, I'll be first in line to flame them.
Bottom line, be honest, use decent forum etiquette, and post questions coherently, and you will get an answer in due time.
Can't we all play in the planter box together nice?

mfqr & BlAzInIt4:20, I in no way ment what you read. You miss read my post. I quoted someone elses post from a closed thread in an attempt to ask questions. I did not threaten to leave the board, I asked if ignoring posts from noobs or questions that seemed to be dumb was a normal practice here. I was not calling anyone names and I was not complaining about anything. I was attempting to get a few questions answered.

Stinkyattic, thanks for the reply, I was not questioning your tactics, with your -7000 posts I have read alot of your posts, and see that you are first alot of times to answer questions..... I understand about multi posting and bumping posts several times in a period of time by impatient posters also. Not to mention defending yourself when someone comes off with attitude. I was mostly curious about the post made by the first person I quoted about them stating they would just ignore posts and bla bla bla.
Thanks Serp

Serp - When I originally made the above post, I was commenting on the actions of one or two particular people - not complaining about any group of people. Assholes come in all ages, I felt that this particular asshole was young so I mentioned that fact. I never meant to imply that all young people are bad.

Pharm, Thanks for posting. I wasnt concerned about the issue of the posters age. or the comment about his/her age, just the comment that posts would be ignored, and it was a normal practice to ignore posts that seemed to be from "trolls"..... As Princess stated, that one person was not someone else as suspected, and the way I read things was that it was suspected that this one person was all over the boards causing trouble and postings suspected to be his would be ignored. This wasnt stated out right, but kind of reading between the lines and I might be far off, so correct me if I am. When I read that flags started to go off in my head because all the other folks that will post in the same mannor as this one guy who was thought to be several others, and if an innocent noob is thought to be this guy and just ignored on those grounds, thats just not right...... thats what I was getting at...

this is a refreshingly polite approach to the whole troll topic!
