PS Next, I suppose, you are going to threaten to stop the car. But Baeric didnt fail at missing the snappy comeback deadline. Or 'answering' on already answered threads.. Cant stop the car, but we can point you to the short bus and hand you the prerequisite helmet.

WTF? I go to sleep and wake up to find tardlets running around the threads.. We need wranglers!! or more scissors for them to run with

Oh, it was noticed, but intervention wasnt needed. Some trolls you squash like bugs, some you let run through the gauntlet because its fun to watch. Sort of like Wile E Coyote jumping up and down on a trap that's failed to go off. You know whats going to happen, but its so damn fun to watch.

If something didn't happen inworld, why bring it inworld. Absolutely, why just the other day I told Bob he was old and smelled of crabapples. As it would be inappropriate on the flogs I PM'd it. Sending it inworld would be rude and stalker-like. (okay. untrue... but we have spoken in PM when carrying on a tangent convo isnt necessary to do in public.) Daria, I don't need a NC. I'm capable of sussing out fact from fiction. And bacon is strong enough to survive.

Not everyone, but the ones that are, are vocal. It makes the population appear greater than it is.

I wasn't referring to Daria..

ButtHurt An inappropriately strong negative emotional response from a perceived personal insult. Frequently associated with overt hostility towards the “aggressor.” Getting your feelings hurt, being offended or getting all bent out of shape because of something petty or stupid. It is a common ailment amongst losers on the internet. It is usually characterized by noisy whining and complaining after being pwnt or otherwise outdone in any minute and insignificant way.

And to be honest I don't think there are enough Lindens in the world to constantly watch the Blogs and Q&A. And this is the situation LL allowed to germinate. No 'mute' ability, No easy way to report posts in violation and no stickies for posting rules. Look at the steps you yourself took, not only to find the posting rules and post them here, but the distance between the locations.Pardon me if I find it ironic that the easier to use, less need for maintainance software doesnt have the basic functionality of Guild Portal and requires more of an active role on their part. How do we as a group help others learn what is appropriate and what is inappropriate behavior. I have filed complaints against the worst offenders but to no avail. I hear everyone complaining about problems but few offering constructive answers. I am including some parts of the Guidelines here in hopes of spurring some thought and positive discussion about this. What can -you- do to make the blogrums a better place? A. Dont be a tard. This isnt directed at you OP, but in general. In other words, don't be a jackass and others wont be jackasses back. B. Limit your offensitivity (the inability to -not- take offense at something even mildly or inadvertently offensive). It doesn't belong in any adult to adult communication. C. Don't be a forum equivalent of a hall monitor. It's not your job. This isnt to say don't speak out, but learn to recognize the source of a problem as opposed to the signs of a problem. D. If you take a stand, be sure that it's a hill you're willing to die on. Seriously, be sure. E. If you must report, report the instigator, not the responder. That is, some people post purely to elicit negative posts. This is the essence of trolling. Don't report the people calling another names, report the one inciting them to do so. I am of an older generation that was raised to say please and thank you, to treat others with respect. And to say to ourselves "would I want this done or said to me?" and if the question is no then not to say or do it. I am also not of the thinking that "I have to do it to them, before they do it to me". And I know that many out there agree. I am pleading with all here to begin using manners and courtesy when dealing with others, your behavior here reflects your behavior in-world and in RL and I don't know about you but I would never want to be treated the way some treat others. And I was raised to say something to someone else's children when they acted out. Sometimes you need to be an adult in an adult world. I dont suffer jackasses in any aspect of my life.. RL, SL or these (or any other) forums. Nor do I plan on treating anyone other than as an adult. I do however, expect the same in return. The best that can be hoped for is to keep things civil. The thing is, while you or I might not want to be an ass, some people absolutely thrive on being the center of attention. Good or bad, being nice doesn't always work and it's time to get the stern, adult voice out. YMMV.

No, but most MMO's that have such abuse tickets also have rules against people that abuse the abuse system. I couldn't find the LL policy, but I know World of Warcraft and City of Heros both have banned people who have filed false abuse reports for purposes of harassment. (BTW, having spoken to you on an alt, I cannot imagine anyone ARing you! Unfortunately, they cant prevent crazy.)
