The tumors are not the cause, they are the symptom. Stop treating the symptoms and address the cause, or just keep perpetually cutting out tumors. Your call.
Huh

Whether clandestine or not, bickering leads to the same result.

Not really even sure what you are referencing, but this is the internet. There will always be bickering. Compulsively avoiding conflict is not healthy and will only lead to greater conflict. Low level bickering is a part of any healthy community as it is the only way difficult discussions and choices are made.

Preface

egregious decay thereof brings a nauseating miasma of dread to my mind. For this trepidation to cease, there is a crucial obligation that must be followed by all.
When you learn the truth and the folly done by spamer and troll,

You will inadvertently increase understanding
You are about that, about the new plan carried out by spamer and troll, creating hatred, revenge.
On the contrary, with your current understanding, a foundation will come
vanity for spamer and troll.


For now you will be able to make them as a choice.
Ignore or Report Spamer and troll, maybe you have already done it.

Spamer and troll live in harmony with their own will, and make foolishness.
in this forum, to the end they did the most ridiculous thing.

Ah... for the winds of entropy have once again braced themselves against thine skin, Reputation, we so too embrace the winds to push this thread back to the top.

With regards to thread hijacking I think that the user has more control if he opted out on making his thread self-moderated. Self-moderated topics are some kind of repellent signature spammers and trolls alike that even if they attempt to ruin the conversation the OP has the choice to remove the worthless posts on his own.

Up.

For some, the fickle nature of stroking one's ego by venting their desires in public to extract the attention of others is unable to be quelled with words alone.

So many words... and yet, the word "observable" was not observable in amongst them all. Undecided

I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. Tongue

Let me just be blatantly honest: some trolls are sooooo cute that I can't resist feeding them once in a while. Totally not my fault.

Well said and thanks for the merit in the other thread which I'm hoping prompted this thread.
*edit* my post was eight seconds after your OP here.

Preface

The current state of the boards that I frequent—that being Meta and Reputation—have started developing metastatic growths. The egregious decay thereof brings a nauseating miasma of dread to my mind. For this trepidation to cease, there is a crucial obligation that must be followed by all.


Currentface

Ingrained into our internet culture was a phrase echoed throughout the plethora of websites: don't feed the troll.

Each bump renews the lifespan of the thread.
Each bump renews the attention of the troll.
Each bump renews the opportunity for recursion.

An incontinent approach to dealing with those that are bloating the forum with droves of threads is that of a response.


Retort I: What about the signature spammers?

What about them?

Signature spam encompasses the forum across all boards, perhaps with the exception being larger Scam Accusation threads and the Technical Discussion board. The key difference between the response of a signature spammer and that of someone with a personal stake is just that: the former has no formal investment in the situation.

Spammers do not bring forth a pleasure of serendipitous schadenfreude. Trolls gain nothing (apart from visibility of their threads) from spammers writing a generic reply in response.

To bring forth virility in the form of a response to those that you despise is a pathetic self-immolating sacrifice.

Retort II: What about thread hijacking?

What about it?

Report, ignore, and continue your discussion. If you do not allow individuals to create an impact toward your forum experience then all they have done is waste money in the form of electricity and internet cost.
Aside: if they are using publicly accessible internet...
They are also trading the cost of a network connection for privacy.
You can enjoy that thought.
Let them tire themselves out.
Postface

To dignify irrelevancy with a response means you are simply bringing forth the irrelevance into your post. Do not respond to pointless discussion.

Do not worsen yourself or your position to engage in asinine behavior.

Think back to the old tale of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Let the repetitious redundancy of blanket statements, false equivalencies and bullshit continue to pulverize their position until there is but a particle of the residual reliability they have given up on restoring.
