I do. Since "the change" I feel like I am able to say all the crap that I've been wanting to say when someone posts something stupid. And I feel pretty good about that. Quite a liberating experience. Before people got butt hurt cause you disagreed with them and then someone would report you for trolling. And now you can troll someone and make them even more butt hurt and they can't do anything about it. I think that's fantastic lol.

Not really, with the old rules I just had to do it more discreetly

So yeah, making it easier doesn't make a difference.

There's something called being an a**hole.

Ever heard of it?

How's that for an opinion?

Never had a problem saying what I thought before.

I don't feel as though I have endured a cathartic alteration or whatever.

I think the biggest effect it had was that countless stupid trolls can now blurt out their brainfarts without any consequences. Especially SW is even more horrible.

True. That's the only difference. And if I need to I will. Likewise with a few others. Honestly....I'm surprised they think I'm going to let them troll me with impunity.

New rules have been applied here. A couple nights ago. And no. I speak with people in the same way they speak with me. Want to have a conversation....no problem. Want to discuss an issue.....we can agree or disagree. If you want to just take shots at me....I can return in kind. I've never been the instigator. And frankly when I'm usually attacked it's by group committee. Rarely do they attempt it alone. *shrugs*

And frankly when I'm usually attacked it's by group committee. Rarely do they attempt it alone. *shrugs*

I agree that I have never found it hard, personally, to have a chat with an individual and find out what they're about. If there's something they do that annoys me it doesn't take long to find out why they do it I mean and then I'm OK with it.

Obvious example - people mock users with PC-build thingies in their sigs, PC users explain it's so they don't have to repeat it all the time in the PC forums, suddenly it all makes sense and people are OK with it.

I don't get why a group of people would choose to mass together like a pack of dogs and try to 'punish' a user for a habit like that when all it would take would be to politely ask a question or two.
But LJ I think they hardly obsess over you. They just know you'll drop them predictable tid-bits that instantly gratify their undeveloped sense of amusement for a wee while. Which is what they need. Apparently.

lol all the trolls are in rejoice! Though I really do feel alot more free to say what I want to say. Even though I would generally not consider myself a very insulting poster. Or atleast I certainly try to be incredibly posative during debates.

I did call someguy an imbecile just a little while ago. Much easier than having to come up with more sophisticated ways of saying it.

I will admit, I was very skeptical at first, but I'm starting to enjoy the new rules. Some people need to know they're being stupid.

People get to act like an even more moronic troll. Now, I get to call them outwhile not censoring myself. Feels good, man.

On a side note: the art of trolling has been lost.

Not really. Can just use normal conversation without moderation now. Since on forums I argue for the side that looks the most interest, not based on what I actually care for, it changes nothing. Still not able to actually question the real issues you might have with someone. Well, not with absolute bluntness.

OT from what I seen so far has been pretty good with the new rules and system wars is teetering towards total destruction at times with annoying trolling spammers being able to create spam threads and alt accounts to agree with whateverthey post on the board.The mods also sometimes take awhile to get rid of these guys.
