Just out of curiosity because I've never seen someone like smell of green grass or skeptical52(We ALL know who they are) on here trying to pollute the board. Has there ever been any signs of trolling on here? And would they just automatically be banned and not able to create a new handle?

I've not been here long, but I know these guys work really hard to keep that from happening. Unlike a certain other board, we have active mods, who are actually part of the discussion. The funny thing is that I've really never seen any of those idiots even try over here. I suppose it's because they've already came and went before me and now have their IP addresses blocked. But they have it too good over there anyway. They can troll and have no consequences. They don't want to come over here and have to actually attempt to play well with others or get kicked off. It's easier to stay in their hole over there and torment the few who stick around to play the game.

There have been a few. Most of them can not resist the temptation to reveal their identify and are often outed after a few posts. There are a few checks in place to discourage them but ultimately a really persistent troll will always find their way here.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it goes here. The mods at ROD are familiar with posters from other sites and can spot the bad ones quickly. It may be that a troll or two is deeply submerged here but eventually their trollness will cause them to out themselves and they will be escorted from the premises.

I think some of them are actually members here but dont use the same behavior that they have made a name for themselves on other boards.

Cool stuff. It's so appreciated the amount of work you guys put into this. How do you become a mod? Get a certain amount of posts or likes? Not that I wanna be one, just curious.

I had to fly to Arizona, wash Phx's car, do his laundry and pay him one million ROD dollars. The rest is history. :cool:

They would be handled according to the rules and regulations. :sneaky:
