Ability to Start Threads

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I agree with this nearly completely. My only two comments on the subject are that several of the trolls seem wanted, kind of as a punching bag. Personally, I cannot stand seeing some of these posters' thread pop up all the time (homeytennis, I'm looking at your annoying ***). There is a simple solution: don't open the thread.

TBH, all I see your change accomplishing is having trolls game the rep system such as creating 10 alts and sitting them idle for 6 months to auto-increase rep. I've already noticed this happening (and yeah, I'm pathetic for even noticing such nonsense).

Like Moe always says, there is an ignore function.

Yeah but the ignore function suck ***.

1. You can still see their post when they are quoted
2. You can still see their post on tapatalk even though you have them ignored.

I can take out 50 reps in one second. How many alts need to be parked for how long to reverse my single second of action? If anything, that makes me feel even better about negging trolls.

This also adds value to neg reps. Now I have more incentive to neg Boris and fellow trolls, other than just my personal satisfaction.

I have not repped one time, positive or negative, since I came back from my ban. But now that this change has been made I will most likely start using rep again.

First stop, negging Mission Accomplished.

Mission Accomplished, as they say.

That's petty and childish. You are on a crusade now to stop trolls by trolling? I hope you score moral victory after moral victory by paying attention to idiots and empowering them to bother everyone harder.

I find it plenty easy to ignore posters I don't care to read.

[MENTION=2142]addictionary[/MENTION] Someone rep me quick so that I can start a offseason jokes thread. In meantime I will turn this in to jokes thread.

Why do native Indians hate snow?

Negged. Got to do my part to keep the little man down.

The change was a long time coming and not specific to a single person. This was requested years ago and, yes, was mentioned again recently. I only looked into it again this week because I realized how it was possible. Also, some threads auto-post to our Twitter feed and this helps a little with that as well. If the community as a whole feel an individual's contribution isn't good enough FOR THE COMMUNITY then why allow them to start a new thread? If that user wants to post, they can - just in an existing topic until they've earned their stripes. Contribute more positively to the community and increase your reputation and the right to start a thread comes back automatically.

Plenty of other communities just flat out ban individuals that, shall we say, go against the grain. We rarely if ever do that. No walled garden/colored glasses here and I hear about it nearly everyday

If a user's rep gets super-low, could you set it so that a user can't even post anymore?

Troll troll your boat gently up the stream.

Meg trolling is against the rules and puts Jason at liability but we all know moderators are immune to the rules.











For the record Stoked did not Meg me but sirkickyass did. He can join Siro in purgatory!
