Topic: Ban for trolling - page 2. (Read 548 times)
One man's troll is another man's freedom fighter basement-dwelling idiot no-life. Yes, people can and sometimes are banned for trolling but you really need to be going full-retard for that to happen. Game-Protect is a tricky one. He seems to (try) make his money by hassling bitcoin gambling companies and there's been half a dozen complaints about him over the years but pointing out that casinos often don't have a licence or him now allegedly scamming someone aren't reasons to ban him as annoying as he may be. If you feel he should be banned for breaking the rules then either post the evidence in here on the infractions or report them to the mods.
He's now trolling one particular victim of his scam by claiming that the victim owes him money for defamation etc:

This is just the latest post, this has been going on for almost a month in that thread. game-protect never disputed any facts, just littered the thread with lame questions (like when exactly he scammed the victim). It's really hard to put together a sensible mod report for trolling since this depends on dozens of pages of context.
Is game-protect still trolling? I don't ignore people for trolling mostly, but he's one of very few people who convinced me it's a good feature to have on the forum. Even CH Incorporated hasn't gotten there, and likely never will.

I don't even remember the last time I saw a ban for trolling. I've seen more trolling than bans for it by a factor of around infinity.
A long time ago, didn't a member by the name of MPOE-PR get banned for it? I remember when I was a lurker I used to enjoy reading his posts, because they were so biting and intelligent--but that member was as close to trolling as it gets. And then there was Spoetnik and a bunch of others who got away with it. There were others whose names I can't remember who showed up all of a sudden, trolled, and then disappeared. I think they might have gotten banned, but it certainly isn't common.
Did you by any chance report GP's posts?

Do you still get banned for trolling in this forum or not? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1535816.1200;topicseen
Game-protect and this topic have gone out of hand, GP is clearly trolling and yet he is still allowed to post shit, how is this allowed?
