Perhaps some sort of device could be useful here, an interactive method for those of us who read and enjoy the forum to identify potential spammers or trolls and bring them to the attention of the moderating staff. I’d picture it as a symbol located somewhere on the page, perhaps even within the offender’s own posts, which can be activated somehow to fire off a signal to the forum police (Think Bat-signal, only more triangular… and _exciting_) which can be seen as a request for help in eradicating the trollish presence. My humble suggestion for the design would be perhaps some kind of cursor-based system of locating objects within a window, perhaps of the point-and-click variety, which can be activated by a simple pressing of the left mouse button (or right mouse button, for left-handed persons). Color scheme: Something eye-catching. Red, perhaps. But we need contrast to help it stand out. Let’s toss some black and white in there. Can’t miss. Now let us propose that if enough of these troll signals are activated at once, the staff might seriously consider there to be an actual troll on the loose, and come armed with their warning pitchforks and their mighty banhammers and slay the troll, earning them XP for the party. And all the forum-goers who witnessed the epic battle might shower them in something golden (I’m talking cold, hard currency, you pervs) as a reward for their mighty heroism. “No, simple forum folk,” they would say, “a job well done is its own reward”. And then the forum folk will ooh and aah at how brave and yet incorruptible the mighty warriors are, earning them a place in the stories of legend, the threads of yore, passed down from generation to generation, until resurrected by random thread necromancers, which will then also be slain by the mods of legend. Eventually this is all made into a film trilogy, which is embraced by all, and then a prequel trilogy will come out much later, and it will be markedly less popular and entertaining, but some will still insist that the prequels were awesome, and they will be considered tasteless, like a child who believes the finest chicken comes in the form of a McNugget. And they will be ridiculed and scorned, and eventually come to realize that the new trilogy is simply a money grab by film makers who have long ago given up on trying to make good movies, but are now in the business of selling out and cashing in on popular film franchises. And upon realizing this, they will achieve a state of wise cynicism commonly mistaken for crotchety middle-age, where the body is not quite as spry as it once was, but the mind is far more enriched. Insert punchline here, end shaggy dog story. ---

> [@Yumm](#): > > PLUS Chinese people are not my ancestor either. They are han and Koreans are Mongoloid. Of course they are mixed in the past but originally we are different Seriously? Umm…China is the largest landmass near both Korea (a peninsula) and Japan ( an archipelago) Where do you think that your ancestors came from,OP? Anyway, stating that you dislike an entire group based upon your own rather limited world view of them is unwise in this day and age.You can state that you dislike some people in that group;but even then that says more about you than it does about them. Perhaps you may wish to re-examine what it is about you that makes hating such a large group possible. ---

> [@nevadaexile](#): > > Umm…China is the largest landmass near both Korea (a peninsula) and Japan ( an archipelago) Where do you think that your ancestors came from,OP? Not that I’m supporting **Yumm** , but his statement on ancestry isn’t completely stupid, just mostly stupid. Two groups can share some common ancestors and perhaps some interbreeding without one proceeding directly from the other. For example, homo sapiens and neanderthals or homo sapiens and chimpanzees. We also know American Indians originally came across from Asia. That doesn’t make Siberians their ancestors. And, despite some interbreeding, the populations actually do a few distinct genetic differences. Checking the Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups, Japan, in particular, is distinct (but not entirely separate) from Koreans and Han Chinese. Even those two groups have a few differences, even if they share more similarity in their Y-chromosomes to each other than to the Japanese. Human migration patterns are a strange and interesting thing. ---

But it was due to a misunderstanding between him and the guys, shooting at, bombing, and killing his friends during WWII. Afterwards it was all smiles and giggles. ---

Plus, he’ll flame out within 2 days, so we’ve got to have our fun while we can. ---

> [@nevadaexile](#): > > Perhaps you may wish to re-examine what it is about you that makes hating such a large group possible. You know, for a long time I’ve hated just about everyone, but posts like the above made me realize that I’ve been unfair and should re-examine why this is so. So I did, and after a lengthy period of deep self-analysis, I’ve come to the inevitable conclusion that it’s because they’re all assholes. ---

> [@Yumm](#): > > And the worst thing is … people think I am Chinese. > > I am actually not… My grandmother is Japanese and I am originally from South Korea. > > I am not being racist but I HATE CHINESE CULTURE AND PEOPLE. There are some Chinese people that are hating you and the racist Korean culture right about now. After the Japanese, the Koreans are probably the second most racist East Asians (a distant second but still). You are basically reacting to the Chinese the way that the Japanese react to Koreans. I wonder what other Japanese thought of your grandmother at the time (when racism among Japanese was much more open and acceptable). Perhaps you have inherited her racist gene. Blaming a millenia old culture for how everyone sees YOU (and you had these problems in korea too?) sounds like rationalizing. Maybe its not the Chinese, maybe its you. I say that because I have plenty of Asian friends in Europe and none of them seem to blame European racism on the Chinese. They have kids going to school and none of them seem to have the sort of problems you are encountering. Maybe its just you. ---
