Can I suggest that the MMORPG.com admins put in an option to report people for spreading misinformation or for just generally making an utterly stupid post? It might end up adding a lot of reports to your pile, but I think it would help in cleaning up the vitriol on these forums.

I'd second this request! |

Basically, that's what a troll is, although normally trolls spread misinformation or make stupid posts in order to create a negative atmosphere, denounce their target game, or just because they're bored losers. You can call genuinely misinformed/stupid people "junior trolls" if you want, but in reality, those are the people we should educate, not report. Edit: If they refuse to be educated and continue to make misinformed/stupid posts, then that is also considered trolling and trolling is already reportable. |

Couldn't have put better. The newbie of today is the leader of your guild of tomorrow.

In theory this works, but knowing trolls, I could see them abusing this as well. Probablly by getting people to react in a negative way to something said in "disguised" ignorance. Lots of people here could fall for that trick... save the veterans who are more to have a quick eye and keen sense due to experience in forums here. |

I would like this or even a way to rate someone with a positive or negative so that their posts are burried. Maybe even a ignore list like in MMOs so everyone's opinion you feel is ludicris isn't displayed. If I could remmeber everyone that I feel write utter garbage I'd do the same, not read it. |

I believe the Block button will allow you to ignore a users posts. You should see it alongside the report post button. Michael "MikeB" Bitton |

I think if you look at the 3 recent MMO launches WAR, AOC & DF, all had big problems. And their forums on this site are ridiculous. Misinformation is coming from both sides. I expect people who are disappointed in a title to be vocal and less than honest in describing the game, but when did the supporters decide to act like that? That to me is just stupid, I have played and loved some really crappy and unpopular titles, but I didn't go around trying to convince anyone they were fantastic. Someone who likes a game knows it's flaws, every game has some. When people lie about how awful a game is, lying some more about how great it is even more stupid. You love Broccoli, I hate it. I say it tastes like the Jolly Green Giant's armpit, are you going to go around telling everyone else it's better than Bacon and I am just a H8R? Srsly
A country raised New Zealand girl can kill, bleed, gut, skin and butcher a sheep in about 40 minutes, the sheep are bigger than a large person ... so be careful about pissing off a NZ country girl. |
