Over the years, there have been some harmless discussion forum trolls. Some of them have made for entertaining conversations. Once, a screen name said that he was starting a slave union and began asking for suggestions on what the members should demand. One of the moderators made a joke about busting the union. Someone started using a photo of Jimmy Hoffa as their icon. It was hilarious.

Some of the trolling is disruptive and can get ugly. In fact, it borders cyber bullying at times. That is what I feel is a must stop for any on line forum.

My opinion is that it all comes down to intentions. If someone is just being silly, why not? Once they cross the line into being disruptive or abusive, it is time for banning.

What are you thoughts on this?

Some people causing disruption and being purposefully disrespectful on a consistent basis deserve to be banned.

Two points about banning... If someone is to be banned it should be pretty much a general consensus of members. Not just a mod but all mods and a few members. Maybe start a thread on a particular member and let people post yes or nay.
The next one is more practical. Is it possible to ban IP s or just screen names. If just screen names, they will just make a new login to continue trolling.

There is reason to believe that PresidentDJT and turdburglar from MF are the same person ( they posted the same thread ).

Even if not, PresidentDJT posted an anti-prodomme thread in our Lobby.

There are two reasons for The Buzz

1. The technical unreliability of MF
2. Moderation, so people, especially prodommes don't get disgusted and leave.

Why hasn't PresidentDJT or at least his post been removed from The Lobby?

Plenty of names in green here. Do they lack the rights to moderate The Lobby?

If so my suggestion would be to get a second moderator for The Lobby, so The Buzz doesn't become like MF where people have to wait for moderation.

No disrespect to anyone.

If it was my post I would be happy to kindly respond. Just don’t want anyone else on here failing to participate because they have their tail between their legs.
We already have enough people who lurk and don’t contribute. Let me know. Thanks

Thanks for your consideration. I didn't have any one person in mind. There has been some real ugliness on another forum that got me thinking about the difference of posters who have bad intentions and those who just like to be silly sometimes. I agree that as much enjoyable and thought provoking activity on this site, the better.

Nice!

Ok. My earlier post about a midget Domme. My post was being serious as I think someone like that could clean up.
Naming her Mistress Midget was trying to add a little humor which some may need at this time. Thanks

Soapy, are you asking that the member PresidentDJT be banned, reprimanded or . . . ?

I haven't taken the time to see what he has done on MF and probably won't. But if he continues such stirring the pot with hostile posts toward the Dommes (this is a DOMME board) I am sure he will be taken care of here - one way or another. To date, I haven't had an need to exercise my moderator status. Admin appears to do a good job of keeping up with what's going on here.

Yes, MF has recently been experiencing a lot of trolling from several posters. I do wish that the reasonable people there would adjust their settings to "ignore this user" instead of responding with outrage. The trolls' intention is obviously to provoke outrage.
