I can't put a finger on it, I just find some people annoying. But mostly I don't say it out loud. LOL my mind is gone to a better place. I'm elevated ..going out of space . And I'm gone .

Posted August 31, 2021 24 minutes ago, Someone here said: @Preety_India Why are you so angsty? Relax a little bit and stop taking this fucking forum too seriously. Did I say something offensive to you? I didn't say people deserve to be trolled. I said some people are troll magnets. And there is not much to do about it.. Like bitching and moaning all day about it. Just report them and leave them to the mods. That's all you can do about them anyways. You don't need to swear at her.

Posted August 31, 2021 13 hours ago, Gregory1 said: If this doesn't help: Do not give the troll what he/she wants! What does the troll want? Your attention (your response) You becoming emotional and angry You becoming a troll yourself The most important bit of this thread. DON'T FEED THE TROLL - don't acknowledge anything they say, don't comment, don't quote them, don't panic and take control of your emotional response. Trolls like to dingle a carrot in front of your eyes and then laugh as you try to reach for it with anger and emotional outburst. [ An example " Hey your journal sucks and you should XYZ yourself. You suck" ] They get their trollgasm from watching you suffer, swear and be angry and frustrated. The troll is here because they are bored or scared or just lacking emotional maturity. Sometimes they are just a kid and sometimes a regular user who has gone rogue and angry about something. Trolls are a side product of any internet forum, a corruption if you will. They will always be there and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about that. Having said that I have seen a past troll on this forum become a regular member with valid contributions and genuine regret of past actions, I won't name anyone but trolls can sometimes be brought back once they are understood and allowed to be part of the community. Sometimes this is possible but usually not. If they come back we will ban them again. It takes more time to create new email account and new forum account than it takes to ban someone. Eventually, they will run out of steam. The frustration of needing to go through the account creation process all the time will beat the fetish of seeing others suffer and the anger feeding the troll will diminish with time. HOW CAN YOU HELP Report the troll and one of us will take care of them. Lets not raise any more of these threads, helps us do the moderating work by actively reporting, please. Make sure to always leave a short comment when you report to make it easier on us so that we don't have to go back and read the whole thread every time. Thank you all who help us keep the forum clean and a safe & secure space for everyone Also please report any shady emails, schemes, directing you to weird websites, to buy viagra and crap. If it looks dodgy, report it. - HIGH FIVE - “If you find yourself acting to impress others, or avoiding action out of fear of what they might think, you have left the path.” ― Epictetus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 31, 2021 Yeah, like the member Windappreciator, keeps insulting. And others. Pathetic. Singer 14™ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 31, 2021 Closing this down as it is turning into another one of those unproductive posts. We appreciate all the help we can get with reporting insulting behaviour and trolling. Let's not keep blaming each other anymore. All of us have made mistakes in the past, said something nasty to someone or did something we later regretted. Let's move on. If this particular troll comes back, they won't have it easy as members are now fully aware of this dynamic going on.
