There seem to be more than a few new nicknames on here that start out as trolls from the beginning.

It wouldn't be a bad thing to just ban someone if that is their objective from the get-go.

Those types of posts are comic relief on a dull gray website. Don't be a humbug.

If they got rid of every troll and sock, there'd probably only be four or five of us left.

As long as we're mentioning ideal mod actions:

I think it would be nice if every user with say, a ridiculously high number of posts, got a chance to vote against trolls.

If you get voted against by 10 super-users in a given month, you're automatically banned. At the beginning of each month, the number of votes against you gets reset to 0.

What about trolls with rediculously high post counts... super trolls?

Do they get immunity? Would they be able to rescue banned trolls?

edit: the baconator is awful but I suspect I would still go for one if it became available where I live. Although not that I think about it if the baconator became available so would spicy chicken sandwiches. mmmmm

None of this is realistic of course, but still speaking hypothetically...

I suggest that no one would get immunity, not even the original thinker-upper of the idea. Rescuings would have to be up to the mods only, as that requires a more human decision.

But what if the troll throws a +9 saving roll?

Can a level 12 troll defeat a superposter with only a level 3 Sword of Isis?

Stay tuned for the answers to these burning questions and more!

Agreed. When someone's username flags them as a troll straight off the bat, it's time for a ban. eg. Wo buxihuan hanguoren, Gollywog, you_are_a_gesekki, and the one you linked to, you_are_a_seed_foot_nom.

Am I the only one who slightly likes the anarchic stuff? The forums would be pretty boring if all we had were posts about the Won's depreciation and every other Dave's cliche.
