I don't see a lot of trolling in the Pub, TBH. Just because you may not like what they have to say doesn't necessarily make them a troll.

I've also tried to report two things since I've been here, and nothing was done about either of them.  One was a rating referring to a black person as "farm equipment," and the other was an extremely inappropriate picture in the naked women thread.  I even PM'd a mod about it, and got no response.

Doesn't look like anyone cares.

Honestly, I do have a slight problem... and I want to say, I do respect all of you, moderators. I have for some time, and you've fostered a very good community here...

but the pub is getting a bit OTDish. Its kind of getting out of hand. I suppose I can start notifying, but it just seems like the overall quality of discussion in the pub has dropped. Maybe it's because of all of the members that joined in the last 6 months flooding it, unaware of the general vibe we've had there. Maybe it's just general trollery bleeding from OTD. But there is definitely lots of trolling and useless banter, post whoring, and yeah... retardation occuring in the pub lately. More than usual really.

I don't envy your job. 1.5 million posts is a lot to sift through. Perhaps consider taking up more moderators, or respelling out the rules to the forum members?



LOL, you regged in 08 and you want to talk about the quality of posts going downhill in the Pub.  I'm sorry, but wow dude, that was a quintessential silly ass cliche' newb statement.

Biggest part of the retardation is the trolling that constantly goes on there, yet is ignored.

Here is another classic example of Pub trolling

Just read that thread and watch how the trolls drag it off topic in just a few posts.


It happens again on pages 3-4 too.

Its really, really hard to create a thread in the pub lately that stays on topic.


That is due to moderators not doing their job.
Over half of the mods for the Pub rarely post there anymore.

There are only 3-4 mods that even try to keep order in there, and that is far too few TBH.

Mods that no longer post in the Pub should be replaced with people that do post there on a daily basis.

Just because someone has been a mod for XX years does not mean that they still deserve the job.


I don't know what you're expecting the mods to do here Niteowl, and obviously I'm going to say that I think you're being way too sensitive and demanding.  The nature of the Pub anymore, and it has been this way for years now, is that it's full of kids and burn outs who don't have a lot of self restraint about the contents of their posts.

Sounds like another classic case of, you guessed it, people taking shit way too seriously on the internet.  To achieve the sort of internet utopian hippie society you seem to envision and expect from the Pub, you would practically need a bevy of mods that pretty much stayed online in shifts and thoroughly monitored all threads.  Life just isn't all PLUR and hand holding hippie crap and you just aren't going to get that here either.  The more moderation the better isn't always the solution.  Sometimes you just have to use the tools available to you, the ability to ignore people and hide threads, because you just aren't always going to be able to rely on mods to shelter you from all exposure to negativity or sarcasm.  Getting a sense of humor might help, and also allowing yourself to let petty shit go. 

Newbie does a great job keeping some of the pointless crap to a minimum, you should be thankful they modded him and he has such a good sense of judgment about it rather than whining about how the mods aren't "doing their jobs" well enough to suit you.

Truthfully, in the examples posted, there were some posts that were off topic and derailed but the logical progression was there.  There were no insults or flame wars that I saw.  While there are numerous posts in the pub that are just chock full of ignorance and disrespect, I feel the moderators do a pretty good job taking care of them.  And if they miss a couple, just do what I do and forget about them.  Sometimes you just have to chuckle a bit and move on.

Why is trolling against the rules in the Pub?

It is clearly OK to troll the Pub
because there is no one trying to stop it

So why is against the rules?


There is a handy device called the Ignore feature if you feel like any particular user is disturbing your peace of mind.
