    I never have gotten any bad marks either
    But I have noticed trolling is growing more and more in the backroom...like one big offensive is going to break out like in 1914 when the Germans invaded the Western Front...or at Verdun in 1916...or at...*insert name of battle here*

    Can you see any warning points on me? Just wondering if they are invisible or not.

    Your points are only visible to you or other may try to provoke you and drive them up. We wouldnt want that now would we?

All you need to do is refrain from answering the more offensive or personal posts, just concentrate on the smart and funny ones and Bob' s your Uncle.

    Sorry, no link with the answer. You all either figure it yourself out or not.

    lol trolling in a anti trolling thread - genius.


    There has always been trolling and at times I am to blame for some of it, but most of it is harmless and people get along fairly fine.

    Also people shouldn't be put of commenting in the backroom, I and others may have different / extreme views on some issues but on most things we are pretty down to earth.

    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Why thank you It wasnt really a troll though as I really wouldnt want his warning level to increase and I did explain why the points dont show. I was wondering if anyone would catch the irony though. Nice job Jag.

    But I think you were beaten to it.

    I saw this video once on forums rule, kinda like the COld War videos of what to do in a nuclear strike. It's pretty helpfull to newcomers and oldcomers (if there's such a thing) as it lays out the basic rules for when posting and when making a new topic. I'll go find it.

    Gawain, you don't know who Billy Goat Gruff is? You know, the troll under the bridge that threatens the three goats and then the third and biggest goat whoops his troll butt and butts him over the bridge and the troll drowns. Nice little violent bed time story for the kids!!!

    The best way to silence a troll is to crush it's windpipe.

    I read that somewhere.

    Point of Order, folks: let's try to keep the more spammish posts in the Tavern, and not clutter up the Watchtower too much.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
