Wow.  Here goes....never done one of these before.

So I am new member and non-paying to boot!!  I like the forum and most of the personalities out there.

I try and keep my posts light and fun, a poll here and there all with my own special blend of sarcastic, mutated, child level humour.  I am not big on Trolls and certain ones in particular as anyone who has read my posts or seen my sig will no doubt gather.  You know the kind, it seems their career is made by negative posts in the PS3 board.  I check out their post history and it is a pathetic example of Trolling and yet the run free through the board.  One such troll had 86% of his post history in the PS3 board and all were negative.  Now tell me.....is that the work of a rational mind?  Is it something deeper?  One of the hired guns we hear about who is paid to troll?  Is there a reason why they don't seem to sufffer moderation?  No time out for bad behaviour at all.  Many have commented on them and I am positve MANY more have reported them...and yet there they are trolling away with nary a care in the world.  Is it because they are picking on PS3?  I can't see that, I mean I am sure that the 360 boards have trolls aswell, I just haven't noticed any.  We have our 4 or 5 who hang out with is like sand in our shorts and I have basically been told to leave them alone in the forums and just report. 

 Riiiiiiiiight, thats been working like a charm .

I have made several posts in the last two weeks and have been modded and locked just as many times.  Many of you comment on my posts and how you enjoy them and some of you have even sent me messages to say you have reported the people that I comment on.  I went so far as to copy a known trolls history and post it in the forums.  Modded and locked for using a poster's history against them.  ?????  It is posted on the internet right??  So everyone can look at it right???  Now because I copy and paste it I am modded for using it against him?  Hmmmm you guys really really don't want to stop the trolling it seems. 

I just love how if you are modded, you don't get to talk to the mod who did, you have no idea who it is and no way to comment back to them other than through their "proper channels".  Seems kind of lame I mean I am surethey are so busy modding all these trolls that they don't have time to discuss it with you. 

Right?

Got an opinion or just feeling like trashing me I would love to hear from you.  Especially if you happen to be one of those that I have picked on.

I have to say the one joke post with every one making up what made their PS3 die was pretty darn funny. lol

Sometimes your posts give me the laugh I need for the day Trek!

I think what you are doing is pretty admirable.

I've only seen a couple of your exchanges with these supposed trolls and for the most part, I'd side with you.

I do find it odd and irritating that these people don't own PS3s and yet, are allowed to post derogatory messages about it.

Isn't there some sort of rule to forbid this?

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere on the Xbox360 board that mentioning the PS3 is highly illegal.

We ought to float that idea to the moderator of the PS3 board.

mentioning the xbox360 in the ps3 forum is also not allowed rothman

Thats why a lot of people have started referring to it as "the other console"
