Well just respond to a topic with a troll post or something that looks like it on this forum and youll get a warning/suspension.
I remember responding to a SWTOR topic beforethe game launched and i stated why i dislike the game and wouldnt play it at launch (i got a warning for trolling) As a matter of fact it was not trolling and in the end i predicted the future.
Rules are to strict. i used to post alot more under a diffrent account here now i just lurk at times but most of the time go to a other but similar forum. |

Originally posted by RefMinor I believe a couple of people have already served jail time, but as you said that's 'real world' trolling not the stuff here i.e. anything someone doesn't like. |

Originally posted by Kyleran I'm pretty sure most people would... given they live in arizona.
Not sure how this would even work... we already contend with moderators that are there to police their personal space of the internet, so - what, they'll just round up the list of bans from MMORPG.com, see who lives in arizona and then make some arrests?

I'm writing Janice Brewer to take down her web site because it offends me. "How should I know if it works? That's what beta testers are for. I only coded it." |

The Supreme Court generally won't allow bans on speech that are content-based, so the "lewd or profane" part will not fly. They have allowed bans on obscenity, but it's not easy to craft a law that will pass the Supreme Court's test for this kind of thing. The ultimate evidence that this won't survive a court challenge is the very tone of this discussion -- if the community is concerned that otherwise normal speech would now put you at risk of criminal charges, then the law will be seen to have a "chilling effect". If you think forums will be empty, that's evidence that the law is FAR too broad. tl;dr: Don't worry about it. It's unconstitutional on its face. I can also roleplay the tower in a chess game and shout "is that a peasant at the horizon I see? I will smash it I will! Oh damn I broke one of my merlons!". -- maji |

Pretty amazing if it would go through. Imagine the trolling potential for anyone who DOESNT live in Arizona: just do some quality trolling -> get someone from Arizona to troll back -> watch them go to jail. "U mAd broOOo...?!" |

Anything can be construed as harrassment depending on your perspective. Besides, I don't think that anyone should have the right to not be offended. What a boring world it would be if everyone was forced to censor themselves, lest they give offense to some thin-skinned ninny and be prosecuted. I'd probably have to stop talking altogether (*waits for the cheering*).

Originally posted by Gajari This is ironic, because I once got a warning for trolling because I called someone a troll.  |

Imagine what Arizona would do to you if you were an illegal trolling the internet. lol Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. |

Difficult to enforce, difficult to keep it fair, difficult to even define properly. I'd be all for the idea if I thought it would be at all effective in keeping reprehensible behavior down, but I strongly suspect that it will either simply be too weak to have any affect, or be homing in on people that simply don't deserve legal censure. No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. |
