[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 14460, member: 203"] You're crazy :p :D Seriously if you really want OT and troll threads to go away faster here's some pointers. 1) Don't post to them! I know I said this before but it's still true. It boggles my mind that everytime there is a troll post someone will post to it saying that trolls are stupid and you shouldn't post to them! 2) Start a new thread about a general RPG topic. The more topics that get posted the faster an unwanted troll post will be knocked off the front page and forgotten. Heck even opeing a few old chesnuts like alignment or 'shafting' will generate mucho discussion around here. I really don't think trolls are a problem around here. One persons troll is another persons serious topic. I remember a post by Sablewyvern on the old boards just before the switch that was (most people thought) a very serious discussion about the tone & merits of the DMG when someone came in claiming that it was just a troll topic. It wasn't but if the Mods took a hard-line stance against 'trolls' he probably could have gotten the thread closed. Not the biggest disaster but it would have been annoying. As far as Buffy and Enterprise threads (there always seem to be these two going at any goiven time) - that is only 2 threads of 40 displayed on the main page. They are clearly marked OT and you really can just ignore them. I do. *Whew* sorry to sound like a prickly pear but I keep seeing these rants against trolls & OT posts and I really do feel that they are a non-issue since they take up so little space and a so easily ignored and forgotten. Keep the peace [/QUOTE]
