[Ballistic]

I used to be mod and administrator on a few other forums, We used to have some users where we would have to approve every post they made.

Just an idea..

I haven't really seen any of his posts break any of the forum rules. I just see a bunch of cry babies that don't know how to ignore someone. You dont HAVE to see his posts....

Such Jen2 drama with all these noobs...

Meh. What you're saying is that the troll is better at his game than we are.

Well, they always are. It's easy to tear something down - all you need is the desire to do it. I can ignore his posts, but I'd rather not have to. And it's not just his posts, but the inevitable counter posts and flaming that ensues. You end up having to wade through all that shit in every thread you click on. Why would anyone want to put up with that?

I've managed a forum before, and people like this guy are just toxic. They're good at riling people up because they just don't give a shit. The best thing an admin can do is to give them a 30 day time out, and if they start up again when they return, make it permanent. That's not really the best thing you can do - it's unfortunately the only thing you can do. And if you do it, then it ends there and a few weeks later no one even remembers there was a problem.

I love you guys that say you've managed a forum before. It wasn't FRF. This place has always been a little more loose with the rules. If you're not spamming or chucking personal insults (like the dude who told Jake to kill himself) then it's fair game. We either dog-pile on trolls who are funny to return fire with, or just ignore the lame ones. That's why there's an ignore button, you press it and ****** he's gone.

But no, neither of those solutions works for you and you Jennifer folks want to turn this place into Red ******* China and have a members posts 'approved' before they're posted. I guess maybe we just make the Jen2 area a 'Safe Space' for you.

Oh, jeez. Drama time. I don't think the future of the free world hangs on 17Jake's status here. It's not communism to ask that someone have some manners.

 

[brc misfit]

I would even call the jen 2's "special".

 

[17Jake]

Haven't seen any of his posts break forum rules. I see a buncha cry babies that don't know how to use the ignore feature.

Anyone votin' in this total POS thread should be absolutely embarrassed. OP is a spineless goof for even startin' it. Too many thin skinned *******. FRF is better than this! How can ya not be thrilled as the highly anticipated, anxiously awaited G2 is about to land in the hands of owners? Performance talks & BS walks. **** idiots that take themselves too seriously & take things personally. I just laugh at 'em.

I think @17Jake is like the @2014RubyRed of the gen 2 folks
