Hey Guys,
I'm not sure how to say this without sounding heavy handed. Because I suppose the truth is it IS heavy handed. But it's where we are.
And I'd rather be honest and upfront so nobody is surprised.
I told the Moderators this morning: "I'm way out of patience with the guys who refuse to stop trolling. I've got zero problem to start booting people for a month or multiple months that just seem intent on seeing how much they can push."
I know we are criticized, probably not unfairly, for inconsistent moderating. And I'm letting you know up front that's changing too. I've told the moderators we want to be less tolerant of trolling and for what it takes to remove someone from the forum. We're simply running low on patience.
So if you're suspended, please don't say, "I've seen way worse in the past". Because I'm letting you know right now, that'll likely be true. What would have been just annoying six months ago will likely mean removal now. I'm sorry it's come to that but it's just reality.
And to be clear:
Most everyone here that's ever been suspended for trolling does the and says "That wasn't trolling. THE OTHER guy did something way worse".
The reality is most everyone here that's been suspended knew exactly what they were doing in trying to get a shot in at the other side.
Please help us.
