AustralianFan Posted January 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Another interesting take on how to handle Trolls and Trolling you might encounter, especially in the light of what’s happening in Gamesbids.com today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Lol, what irony & projection there. Just because something is "true", doesn't mean that it still can't be challenged, critiqued &/or modified (especially on a 'discussion' board such as this one). It's also not about being "convinced" or convincing others, either. It's about (Olympic) discourse (again, that's the premise of this website anyway. If you're not here for that, then go teach a class somewhere, but this ain't it). Something being "true" also doesn't mean that it needs to be shoved down people's throat on a continuous basis if they don't happen to agree word-for-word with what is being said (or in this case, dictated). That only displays, ironically enough, the bully tactic that is being described in there. As the saying goes; if it's not everyone else, then perhaps it's you that needs to take a good, reflecting look at yourself. On a side-note though, I can't remember who said it, but to have such a radical obsession over something that has minimal impact on one's life, such as the new-norm, is as Spock would say; 'absolutely fascinating' (in a very weird way). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 i think i must have been really drunk when i started all this drama because i just skimmed this thread and i honestly don't remember any of it. i'm sorry for calling australia fan autistic because that was mean and the truth is i don't care at all, so it was a mistake to write a post pretending i did. PS i'm doing 'dry january' which has made me so bored i've started posting on GB again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMu Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Hi y'all! my first thought was - "omg, it was in South Park" when i started to read this topic. so, if someone still doesn't understand what to do with trolls and who they are, just watch SP. it is totally enough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A troll is Internet slang for a person who intentionally tries to instigate conflict, hostility, or arguments in an online social community. Platforms targeted by trolls can include the comment sections of YouTube, forums, or chat rooms. Trolls often use inflammatory messages to provoke emotional responses out of people, disrupting otherwise civil discussion. Trolling can occur anywhere that has an open area where people can freely post their thoughts and opinions.

They don’t need to know the person or have a reason for posting spiteful comments. The forever offended trolls are experts in taking a humorous piece of content and turning it into something sour and offensive. The show off troll doesn’t particularly like to take part in discussions, but prefers to share their opinion without having any particular knowledge of the subject being discussed. The “look at me” troll isn’t interested in anything you have to say - they’re on a mission to get you to look at their page, buy something from them, download their content or follow them.

Sir Rols Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 (edited) We’ve got no problem with it. Krow doing his Joan Rivers routine is a long time comp tradition. And it’s as much a send-up of awards shows as a serious comp - more Eurovision than Nobel Prize. We can handle heckling, and dish it out too. As I tell Yoshi, a bit of chaos and scandal is always good for the comp! If nothing else, it’s saved us from having to bump the thread.

I gather when you say “we”, you’re talking on behalf of @yoshi ? So you’re actually excusing @krow’s behaviour in attacking the Logo Conpetition and then him trolling further making it all about him as a “Joan Rivers routine”? Seriously? I’ll let you in in something - the huge difference between Joan Rivers and the troll@krow. Joan Rivers was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What utter weak nonsense making excuses for a troll.…. and here you are again bumping off the Logo Bid Competition from the top that you weakly claim the trolling of @krow assists. It’s like you’re living in a parralel skewed reality, seriously. Don’t worry, I’ll yet again bump up the Bid Logo Competition profile to the top following this post, as I did earlier today.

Sir Rols Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 (edited) The issues you have with krow are between you and krow (just as you and I obviously have issues with each other). But Yoshi and I, or the comp, don’t need white knighting. We can speak up for ourselves. Neither of us was offended, upset or disappointed by any digs he made at us. If anything, glad to see a tradition live on. Apart from trying our hardest to make sure the comp is scrupulously fair to the competitors, anything else goes. We, the organisers, are certainly not above heckling, or heckling back. Edited January 7 by Sir Rols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
