It's under discussion by the moderating staff and may well result in an infraction. We typically don't allow "gotcha" threads except on Apr 1.

That being said, it was well played and made me crack up when I clicked on the link. +rep to Trout for that.

Seriously? You're thinking of giving him an infraction for that? Heaven forbid a guy do something actually creative to get laughs out of us. Yeah most of us fell for it, but anybody that got seriously mad about that has some bigger issues at hand. I honestly can't believe you guys are thinking of giving him an infraction for that....what a joke. You guys need to take things a little less seriously.
 
Agreed whole-heartedly.

Its problematic when posters like Gasol_Stopper_Ante_Tomic craft threads like that on a weekly basis; but when was the last time tha TroutBum has created a troll thread of that nature? An infraction from that post would be downright pathetic, in my opinion, especially considering the fact that nearly everybody found it amusing, including one of the administrators himself.

And therein lies the problem. Where do you draw that line? GSAT or MFP post a thread like that and the board goes monkey nuts and we get several complaints asking "why hasn't this troll been banned yet?"

Yeah, I understand that Trout is not a habitual offender. But make up your minds. Trolling in this fashion has always been dealt with the same way. But now you're gonna take a stand, because it's one of your homies? That's nice.

If you want consistency, don't cry when you get it.

Also, doesn't this fly in the face of the logic that Trout has the mods in his pocket?

^Not directed at any specific person.
 
My stance is what it has always benn. He agreed to the rules so he must be prepared to take the hit for breaking them.

On that note, hell no we wont go!!

Its different because Trout actually posts serious stuff every now and then and makes a positive contribution to the board. You treat regular board members different than those guys who come in from the start and create problems.

Dang that was stupid. So trout can break rules, be a complete dick, as long as a majority of posters like him.

I know, let's let the majority rule. If enough people want someone banned, then so be it. Maybe then you can get rid of me!

Oh god yes. I'm okay with Trout doing/saying whatever he wants rather than suffering through your stupid posts. Let us vote!

Not at all what I said. The guy brought up how posters like Ante_Tomic_Gasol_Stopper and Trout posting a troll thread are the same. It's not the same because that is all the Tomic guy does, whereas Trout has actually made a serious thread (I think...). So yes, a poster with a reputation on here should be treated differently than a new poster who does nothing but troll. Of course, I never said anything about Trout being able to do stuff because the majority of people like him. In fact, no where in my post do the words "like", "majority" or "rule" occur. If you're going to be an insufferable ***, at least try to sound intelligent.
 
He knew the rules. Like Bronco said they have to treat all of the threads like that as the same. I like trout, but you cannot enforce the rules for one and not the other. I do not want to see guys like Memo-for-president or Ante-tomic-gasol-stopper coming back. Those guys were famous for posts exactly like that one and he should be penalized the same as them. Other contributions to the board are irrelevant, that thread was clearly against the rules.

Sorry TB just stating my opinion.
