Our friend the "YOUR ALL PATHETIC LOSERS [sic]" troll is back.
Remember, don't engage a troll, use the REPORT feature to bring it quickly to the attention of the mods. That's all, back to our regular programming. Cheers!

General reporting question, but is there a preferred way to report this? I see so many options and I've just been choosing "spam." Is there another heading that should be used? I've never been a mod so I don't know how this works. Just curious. Thanks!

Good question; how about a look inside the moderating process.
Just the act of reporting it is fine; you don't have to worry about the fine granularity of "reason" with such a blatant troll.
If you report an edgy, borderline, or ambiguously trollish post, then it may be helpful to choose "other" and write in your reason, if the drop-down menu of choices doesn't offer a good fit and the reason for reporting isn't obvious.
Once a post is reported, the mods receive a notification about it, and we review the post in question. Usually the first mod to receive the report takes action on it.
Where a post falls into a gray area at the boundary of rules and norms of our community, we call the other mods to review and discuss the situation, so that our own biases and preferences don't intrude on fine judgement calls, and in order to maintain consistent and just enforcement.

Is there no way to automatically catch certain phrases and hide or delete them or something?
VigilantRedRooster 9y ago
Maybe ;)

Honestly, I find that the most offensive part of his posts.
If you're going to insult me, at least use proper grammar!

Question: How does one avoid the label "troll"? I have been inquisitive and probing but have rubbed folks the wrong way on occasion.
VigilantRedRooster 9y ago
Your post history doesn't scream "troll" first of all. It might help to keep in mind that TRP has a more combative, confrontational nature that is appropriate for testosterone-laden men. RPW value a more nurturing, helpful environment. That's not to say the members here are meek shrinking violets or ignore difficult truths, but it DOES mean that many conversational styles that are normal in TRP will make RPW bristle.
One strong marker for trolling is someone speaking harshly more for the benefit of themselves, rather than to help the OP. Example: "That thought process will probably make you less attractive in the eyes of many men because reasons." versus "You'll never get or keep a man with that kind of attitude, toots!"

I don't make a habit of it. I do get heated about false rape accusations and the like (add "misogyny",etc). but I often keep my mouth shut. Im a one man band at my worst.
