Plus I think people will just make a new account if they get ingored when they troll. I suppsoe they can make as many accounts as they need to troll. :/

 

[MontrealMauler]

I dont see anything wrong with interjecting laughs and comedy with Gifs and photos

but the QFT's, Fail and BAN crap unless you are a moderator shouldnt be happening as much as it does

 

[Corporate Giant]

is this thread what you call a troll?

 

[Iron Tusk]

In anticipation of flaming, I announce my idiocy and lack of basic knowledge. After many (by which I mean, 4 or 5) attempts to find the answer myself, I seek your counsel. How do I do double quotes in a post? I thank you in advance for any help and flaming that may come with it.

This is why i am cancelling my account after 200 posts. Some may say "whatever" but while i actually learn something sometimes from certain posters, that's all i care about-not just spouting my opinion. Coming from traditional MA back in '81 I'd say that such a rapidly changing sport has a hubris which is a certain younger audience and the US generates 99% of forum posts, naturally reflecting a different (from say Europeans) though varied outlook. Without trying to turn this into a diatribe on culture, and certainly not implying superiority for any particular one, 99%of the world interested in MMA is not heard on these forums. The maelstrom of young minds with apparently little education (vis a vis spelling) posting will always find the lowest common denominator. I've been sucked in a few times and after 200 it will be enough- it just doesn't serve my interests in MMA.

since we're talking about trolls and not MMA, i figured i throw this in.. why is it when ever i make a new thread it says internet explorer "Page cant be displayed" and my thread isnt posted??

dude no offence, but you are a serious blowhard. You think your better then everyone else. I agree with the TS, but you are annoying as all hell.

 

[ArmoPride]

I dont know about that.

 

[surKAHN]

Fu*k that.........Ill say what I want to say.........Thats why there is mods.......Nobody would even be on here if we couldnt say the shit we say with in the rules...........Pretty soon we will not be able to speak our mind because people like you want us to think and act in a thought out and made up personalty that fits your standard...........So nah dont wanna be "KAHNtrolled"

 

[XXXGODXXX**]

Good idea. The problem is that so many people around here enjoy insulting others. It gives them pleasure. They can't find other ways to have fun. I mean, they don't realize that you can goof off, be funny, and tease each other without turning into complete dickheads. They go too far and make it very personal. They don't know where to draw the line.

Ignore List:

1. JAderholt






Jk!

Treat the board like when you're skimming through a book: Only read what interests you and ignore the rest...

"Where there is nothing left to burn, you must set yourself on fire"

We just need a Sherdog.net armageddon. Purge the boards and begin anew. Everyone with a premium account is saved from the madness, and everyone else must re-register. Post counts are no longer displayed unles you are viewing a users profile directly.

Make a 10 post minimum for thread starters.

Lock/delete any threads of poor quality.

The problem is that mods can only do so much. We need a general cultural and behavioral change to make this place truly awesome.

 

[Aarish]

the sport is going mainstream, that means more idiots - look around you, everyone is an idiot, oh well

 

[WarMachine26**]

I agree with the TS. Especially people that spam this site with porn pics. Get a life losers! I come here to talk MMA, not to look at your pathetic expressions of angst.

Start your shit list with me! Sherdog needs trolls to help further drive valid points , Trolls represent the casual fan & the mindset that drives them & its IMPORTANT that these trolls are proven wrong.

Well let me be the 1st to say 'Bon Voy'age'! :icon_cry2

 

[bullhead]

some people do post the most ridiculous things, but just skip pasts them and read the ones that are decent comments

 

[WarMachine26**]

Hi everyone, I've been browsing this forum for about 4 years and finally got involved with discussions a year ago. I like having sensible discussions with like-minded people about MMA, but there is a lot of jerks on Sherdog who make it unpleasant to be here.

I know some of you feel the same. Some posters don't ever have anything good to say, it's just insult after insult for no reason. I know most of these people are children, but there should be a way to rid this site of them. I have an idea.

If we all band together, we can make Sherdog a more pleasant, and respectable place. Right now, because of all the assholes that post here, it is not respectable. So here is my idea.

When we enter a thread, we will read the posts, and the very first post that insults the TS, or if the TS is insulting someone, we all put them on ignore. That way, if no one ever responds to these assholes, they'll quit posting, and/or we won't be able to read what they ever say again anyway.

Let's start ignoring people who are just posting bullshit, insults, bashing, or anything else. The occasional flame is ok, but some people that is all they do.

So, if everyone does this, it will be good for everyone on this site that cares about Sherdog and MMA.

Thanks guys, please join me. :icon_chee

Wait...Ok let me ask you this.....

And Be Honest....

Have you ever been called a brat? Or bossy? Or controlling??? or maybe even a primadonna???

3/4 of the sherdogger's trolling are not white belts dude or "noobs" . It varies , The same guysthat flame hard provide valid points etc.

This is an internet message board open to any one willing to join! There are assholes every where & you'll never get rid of them!

Stop being such a biotch , Pull your panties up & deal with it & if you cant deal with it than you obviously

Should'nt Be Posting Here

Take a look around you , We're all assholes & on that note let me say this!!!

I like your idea TS, but I find it a little hard to believe that people are gonna follow it.
