Troll Policy.....please read!

Not sure what a troll is? See - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

Quote:
In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum, and posts inflammatory, rude or offensive messages designed to intentionally annoy and antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion as their only purpose.


We felt that we needed to come up with an actual 'troll' policy to combat recent behaviour by a couple of users who we would consider 'trolls'. 'Troll' behaviour disrupts the discussions on here and is only done to antagonise users. The best way to combat this behaviour is to highlight trolls and encourage users to get in contact with the moderators if you feel someone is displaying 'troll' behaviour.

We will have the final decision on whether to award a user 'troll' status depending on their previous posts. The best way to deal with trolls is to ignore their posts as they are only meant to disrupt discussion and antagonise users. A user with the slogan 'Confirmed TROLL' under their username when posting has been highlighted by the moderators as a troll.

Remember......don't feed the Trolls!
