Don't know about mods but we should just ignore them

Disengage completely

The problem is when they show up in an interesting thread

yeah and people not ignoring them , or even quoting them turn every interesting thread into a warzone
so , the best way to deal with them is
- according to Gandalf , daylight
- according to people on bt, starvation

There is one thing you can do:
- Ignore them
There is one thing you shouldn't do:
-Feed them

Don't feed them?

Right. How does one get a yellow ignore button? Tongue

Yes, just don't feed them. Either they'll step it up and eventually go too far, or they'll get bored and find a new way to pass the time.

Gweedo is just annoying to me because he's constantly posting about his ignores and drives threads off topic.

I love these threads that try to finger trolls, cause no one here is really a troll just different views, and in bitcoin that is the devil. No one here knows how to debate so you pull out the old troll card. This is the internet get over, take a class in debate and conceed when you are wrong. This will help you in life.

<<<-Ignore button right there, but by clicking you admit that you are conceding and don't know how to debate in a forum.

I like you and never understood why you have an ignore button so dark but I don't agree.
What you're exposing does exist (and may explain your ignore button) but saying that there is not a single troll in this forum is wrong.

No there are trolls that are wrong on this forum, there are trolls I have seen that actively against bitcoins. I mean everyone is wrong at least once in awhile we are just humans, but that guy's comments don't look like he was trolling at all. I just think people are too quick to pull out the troll card when not necessary.

For my ignore it is because I was very outspoken about the foundation in the beginning and everyone didn't believe me that the foundation would not be good for bitcoins and it seems that is being correct.

I didn't look at his posts so I wasn't talking about him. I guess we agree together then.

Hmm yeah I noticed it's dificult to talk about the foundation here.

Most people get labelled trolls because they have said something someone doesn't like. For example, pointing out something to others that there is something wrong with their service. When people don't like it they normally call them out too be trolls.

"gweedo" after seeing many posts in my opinion he doesn't at all troll. But, very outspoken. Therefore, he's been called out to be a troll numerous times.

What do you think that admins on this forum should do with trolls? They spread negativity all around and try to accuse people from scamming.

For example this individual (moderate) is very active. Check his comments to make a picture about him.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/moderate-154417

Uhmm you have very similar comments to that user, so maybe you are also a troll. And to leave that user trust feedback when you never even did a transactions shows another point of how the feedback is broken.

Anything that you give energy to has a tendency to persist. Trolls seek attention. Allowing them and ignoring them is best. IMO

I was trying to ignore him but when he try to make scammers from us it's too much. I can take feedback and questions but theories about how we are scamming people it's just not how it should be.

I agree but I also disagree. I like others to know who's the troll.

People already know him as a troll so it won't have much of a effect.

It won't take long for "Moderate" to have a yellow ignore option.

Yes but he's making theory about us that we're scammers which affect us.
