This is staff speaking.

Don't feed the trolls.

Post on topic and in a civil manner

If you don't have anything on topic to add, then don't post.

Not hard at all.

It is obvious by some of the replies received in this thread that your reminder is falling on deaf ears. You would think that they would at least let what you have stated sink in a little. I do praise your efforts to try to help the newcomers understand what not to do; I hope some Mods give you applause for your effort.

A flag for you for your effort, if I could have given a star too, I would have.

Keeper-
GREAT thread in theory, it's the practice that needs work.
Around here, summertime is usually nuts..I fear this one shall be the worst ever.
Call it a gut feeling.
The staff of MODS has been increased for a reason. An intelligent site, yet still attracts trolls who like to mess around to get their jollies.
Oh, how I wish for a unique filter.
And for the member who posted, DON"T BE A MOD...
WE ARE ALL MODS ON THIS SITE. PERIOD.
We may not have the powers to remove posts or PEOPLE, but it is our job as members to keep the rules of the T&C and report problems immediately.
If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

Total Newbie- thanks for the laugh..funniest post I ever read on here.

does anybody keep a running list of Trolls and/or other Ne'erDoWells?

it really would be an interesting list.
