I was surprised to read this thread coming from Herb as I had always seen Herb as the troll ....

no matter what the topic Herb always brings it back to wogs, black people, arabs or ethnics in general ...

Annie you heard it from Herb himself, get rid of the trolls. Ban him permanently

Stop being a 'Trollist'.... Grin

Posters arise - it is time to put an end to the Trollitarian State!

Definition of trolling:

1. 3 or more ad hominems with NO OTHER CONTENT from the same person or more, following ones posts. This may occur in the same thread or in different threads.

2. A few mild insults and abuse I personally can accommodate without a problem SO LONG as these are accompanied by explanations relating to the subject of the discussion.

Example: link

My considered post is followed by four ad homs with no attempt to engage in discussion.

And I ask myself : "What the bugger am I wasting my time here for?"

many blessings

apply forgiveness

then be at peace

Nope. Not sure where you got that definition from.

Trolling: "Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can."

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=trolling

Sound like anyone you know, Herbie?

You're missing the point, Bobby.

The intolerance is not with me but with the habitual trollers.

Herby,
You need to harden up -

I get trolled on nearly every post.

Just forgive them & get on with your life.

namaste

Try again later.

Herbert is out to lunch.

Dear Herbert,

you need to harden up - you little princess.

A few of the members use Ozpolitic as a scribble pad and think they're being very clever with their thoughtless one liners and abuse. They haven't got the brain matter unfortunately to put into civil words why they disagree with someone's opinion. It's easier to be personally abusive to shut their opponent up.

The standards have been higher here, but it depends who the moderators are at any given time and if they choose to enforce the boundaries. Some of those in the past wouldn't have tolerated the crap we see today. You have to try and deal with the trolls the best way you can Herbert and not expect anything much from the moderators. The few we have are rarely here and unless they have similar standards to you, you're going to be ignored.

The solution would be to appoint a GM, or two, who actually cares about this forum and maintaining some standards, but FD seems to avoid these people - perhaps for commercial reasons, who knows.

Concentrate on those who give positive feedback and ignore the others Herbert. If it gets too bad, save some of the posts with links and send them to FD. It can be effective.

Here you go........

Forum Rules

Personal criticism

Do not post personal criticism of other members. Do not respond to personal criticism of yourself or other members. This is the biggest problem on OzPolitic. Too many members are easily baited into off-topic personal exchanges. If you participate in any kind of flame war you will be suspended, regardless of who started it or who you think ‘deserved it’.

I have noticed some folks think the rules are for others not themselves.....you see them on the roads every day...

my best bet really is for everyone to ignore them.. if they trash a thread leave it to them and go elsewhere. I have been caught by someone who insists on asking the same pathetic question ...2 pages later nothing changes... STAY AWAY.
