Okay, let’s take a look at this.
- I’m posting in THE PIT, and even more specifically, the Trolls thread. I don’t think any of us should have an expectation of being 100% fair, and certainly I wouldn’t consider most of us in this particular thread to be lily-white. We’re generally more the anti-hero sort!
- One of the reasons to post here per the mods that watch this thread, is that sometimes we see patterns that they don’t, because, duh, they’re dealing with countless flags and fights between well established posters that are getting angry with each other. Thus, mentioning that someone does fit those patterns is useful although, again, not fair.
- As mentioned in this and the prior iterations of the thread, we tend to have periodic storms of Trocks/Socks where there will be a statistically large grouping of them all occurring over a short period (roughly) of time. We’ve just had such an event, so right now, I think it’s reasonable to be a little extra careful.
- “Way to make this board welcoming for new people.” - Have you been reading this thread, and the board in general? I mean… really.
- I -repeatedly- mentioned that what I was concerned about is how they matched a pattern, and I think it’s reasonable safe to say we’ve had a LOT more trolls/trocks come in than any legitimate new poster in the last year or two. I also pointed out where they DIDN’T match the pattern (long reading times) and that NONE of the posts I’ve seen gave me actual concern. Nor did I ask anyone to pile insults on them, I just suggest we watch them to see if that changed and I quote:
So, in the fine tradition of the Pit, @Eyebrows_0f_Doom
