Don't feed the trolls - About xda-developers.com

Like all forums XDA has a number of trolls. Some this behavior is intentional some of it not, sometimes its just down to language differences.
Part of my day job involves spending my time on programming forums where I come across troll behavior. One of things that has helped me to ignore this and not get worked up I learned from this presentation by Nicole Sullivan (aka Stubbornella).
Its well worth watching it and has helped me keep my blood pressure low.

Ah, okay then.
Simply report it by clicking on the orange triangle across from the post. Then explain the situation to a mod.

Troll Kung Fu?

Actually a very good talk, and I say this as someone who literally deals with trolls for a living (yay video game community management). Just wish there was a way to make 'um' disappear from the audio

Actually that's an interesting point. What about if voice exceeds decibel limit, reduce output. This is an easy line of code to shut those screamers up. And maybe recognise curses? Or if other users can record and report people trolling, they could get banned quickly. Just a suggestion.

Troll JuJitsu, perhaps?

There's probably a hundred threads with the same question & answer your looking for!
Searching is your friend!
you can't be serious.
There's a sticky at the top of this forum titled "READ FIRST! - Rooting, Solutions to Problems, the Answer to Life (Updated:6/13/11)"
You can find your answer there.
This is beyond absurd.

Cool story bro.
social retardation
It's getting old reading the "local's" ripping new posters about reading the stickies and searching before posting.
The 43 pages of mindless banter between socially retarded mutants in that sticky makes me believe the truly talented and mature part of the EVO 4G crowd has left this forum and moved on.
The mass-attack posts on newbies makes one also wonder if the "locals" know anything and aren't just sitting around nursing their own ineptitude with the insults they sling at others.
Sad form and insults to this post will only prove it further.
Time to move on, I guess.
There is no possible way you looked before posting... just be honest
Your my new hero wxrman. Well said.

Not sure if trolling.....
Anyway: yeah, OP:
Here's an idea:
You could come up with a shorter catchphrase that kind of takes everything in your post, and makes it a collective thought:
Like, I dunno.... maybe something along the lines of:
"Don't feed the Trolls?"
That's got a nice ring to it.

Maybe we need another forum under E4GT called "Troll pen". If we feed them there, maybe they won't venture out into our world? Though we'd need someone to stay in there to act as bait..

Interesting article from a journo's perspective... But at the end of the day, it's MIUI, and that means it's not safe.

Don't let Dirk hear you say that. He's all over MIUI at the minute. I had a fling with it for a couple of months but ended up back at AOSP eventually. I still think about it sometimes. It's not like I still love it, but it will always have a place in my heart.

And my Inc2 isn't headed out the door, and I'll probably answer some questions, but I don't expect to be an avid ROM flasher or anything. I'll try sense 4.0 when it like works. Basically, I'll stick around but I will be more in the Nexus forums than here.

You should read, what each section title is. How does your original post, have anything to do with theme or apps? This belongs in Q&A...actually that's where ima move it to.
Btw, my friend. Im you local moderator, if you don't know what that is, feel free to ask me or anyone else. Also take a look at some of the sticky threads(the first ones you see on the website, it the stickies tab on the app), they are very useful.

*PETITION* BAN task650

Please reply to this thread ("sign" if you will) if you have been subject to harassment or and sort of verbal abuse from task650 or if you are just tired of seeing him hijack threads. Many of the people here on XDA agree that Task650 has taken his "power" too far on XDA. Yes I may have a new account, but this is obviously to protect my rep (or lack of according to all the defenders) here on XDA. Sorry Task650, many people would rather live without your ROMs and live in peace/harmony then put up with you and read your constant trolling in other threads.

This thread is in the correct section.
Why would you even make a thread about this. If he was doing anything wrong, the mods would take care of it. Not to mention he has the most respected and desired ROM for the At&t Gs3. AOKP!
Hah. I have to post to say three things:
1) I obviously VOTE NO on banning anyone, even if they are a ****.
2) It's not me masquerading as the "peace&harmony" OP, just in case anyone might be wondering.
3) In before the lock!
He's a developer, you are not.
So no. **** off will you?
