Annoyed... someone is rate trolling me in Asylum (yes par for the course, I know) ... if it was on a political topic it wouldn't bug me, but I started a "what are you listening to" thread and everything I post there is getting rated down and it is ticking me off... cause seriously - rating someone down for posting about what they are listening to in a "what are you listening to" thread is asinine.

ARGGG

So what are your feelings about rate trolls and people being generally douchy?

WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT?

besides complain in K?

Ok, first of all it's rate "camping" not "trolling." Second, you should realize your posts there are being rated down because several people genuinely feel they are bad. I happen to agree with them, though I didn't bother to rate.

Many posters grew out of "What are your <blank>", forum games, forum clubs and the like quite some time ago. It's a tired concept, and so there are going to be people annoyed at seeing the same thread for the hundredth time and would rather such threads not be made.

If you want +1's, do it in the OOT instead of the Asylum.

She should just be glad she's not a repeat poster of said threads. Had it been Driftwood, I would have flown through the internet and stabbed him.

I've been getting a lot of ups lately. I think I'm just a classy gentleman.

Also, olo, you got a string of Excellents for making gbaji look foolish in that one thread.

That kind of thread would likely do better in the OOT. Anyway, you get plenty of rate-ups, so I wouldn't let a few red arrows ruin your day. I kind of dislike those threads (even though I did participate). Nobody ever really comments on the stuff that's linked, and it gets kind of boring.

But yeah, it wouldn't be so bad if Driftwood hadn't beaten that dead horse into the ground.

My rate downs are almost always rated back up. Courtesy of having 10k+ posts, formerly posting a lot in =28, being a generally lovable ****? Probably some combination. I bet I'd be sage now if not for Danalog's wife. Smiley: rolleyes

And yes, people on this site are too ******* touchy, see also: Kao.

Kao is just doing his job. To be honest, I find him rather laid back for someone in his position and very good do deal with when an 'issue' developes. See also: Lube's been postin' drunk.

Well, except that if I was paid to moderate a forum and someone posted something about me in a journal that largely sees traffic from a small, largely desensitized regular "people from the internet" type crowd such as a supposed penchant for molesting dead animals or participating in a human sex slave pyramid scheme, I wouldn't threaten to ban that person. Final warning? Smiley: lol

I'd chuckle and move on. Internets are srsbsns I guess. Have fun with your important internet persona while I go watch videos of Strong Bad and read rage comics. I'll probably even go ********** to **** you wouldn't admit watching because it's a little outside of the social norm (hint: lesbians licking ***).

A couple of things here. By your logic, you would be perfectly ok with my calling up your place of work and making false accusations that you steal from the company, or something along those lines, as long as I told them where only a limited number of people could see it? Text in public journals is accessed by search engines eventually, and I have made it absolutly, 100% clear that I will not tolerate statments or accusations such as the ones I removed that you made about myself or anyone else on these forums anywhere. Period. End of discussion.

You should probably stop and take some time to choose how you want to proceed from here. You can choose to take the second chance, which I usually regret giving in the end, or you can decide to push things and see what happens. Given my "internet persona" there should be no suprises about where that road leads. So go ahead, make your choice. I thought maybe there was something worth salvaging there. Maybe I was mistaken. It won't be the first or last time, i'm sure.

This is correct. It isn't just one or a few people, its a large group of them. Not much I can do in that case.

I forget this sometimes, I'll try to keep a closer eye on things, so you don't need to go out of your way to address them, Kao.

Thank you Kirby. I was intending to keep this to PM's aside from the origional edit message, but apperently Paskil would prefer a more public venue.
