There are too many trolls in this forum. And they aren't trolls from other forums- they're all from this forum. I'm disgusted by the fact that they think it's comical to humiliate RP creators - good or bad - on their own threads. I'm disgusted by the fact that these people I previously respected have turned into absolute trolls.
I've tried asking you'll to stop nicely. But, apparently, that hasn't done any good. So I'm just going to start reporting. |

| Agreed, I am new here and I have already decided that this thread is insanely overpopulated with trolls. |

It wasn't like this a month or so ago.
But there has been an immediate change in this community. |

There's nothing to do except report them. We aren't capable of stopping them.
I just wish some people would realize that this forum does not belong to them. Anyone is free to RP here, in any style they'd like. |

| Exactly. If you don't like the Role-Play, then maybe you should offer suggestions on how to make the RP better. Not humiliate the creator. It's these people that ruin the forum. |

| But Digi, that doesn't help the victims' cases. If we ignore the trolls, they will continue. |

| Sometimes the trolls have a point, though they are a bit brutish in the way they go about doing it. You know sometimes you look at a thread and want to scream at them how terrible it is. |

*clap clap*
You have my respect for doing this. These have always been my thoughts but whenever I voice them, I always end up luring more trolls... |

@Simulation But the point is, you shouldn't. There is no reason to get mad at someone who is just trying to be creative. Even if it sucks. |

| I have the same reaction, Simulation. Sometimes. But I restrain. It's hard to try and cooperate with them because, sometimes, they never listen to advice. But, if you try to improve them, you're less tempted to troll them anymore... if they listen to your advice and improve. |

| Ya, I restrain myself as well. Sometimes people are just beyond help, though. I've seen so many nice people trying to help other RPers, but some either are beyond repair or just refuse to admit that their RP has flaws. |

| Even I need to make the realization that this RP is not only limited to RPs that meet OUR standards. |

| @Simulation, I agree but there is a difference between saying something in respect and giving helpful idea's and then their's trolling, the people who think they own the forum and just feel like ruining a thread. I think the mods should give the forum creator the ability to delete posts on their thread and only their thread and ban Troller's. Just a thought though. |

@mat
no the reason i always disagree is because people could easily use it to manipulate posts and make it look like they're winning. Editing/deleting should be something you can do with your own posts and only your own posts. |

It is a more creative form of constructive criticism. If the thread creator is offended, that's their problem. A sensible thread owner would know enough to take feedback from what the person said. I personally enjoy these "trolls", as they point out flaws while still being funny about it.
They may appear to be brutish, but their intent is to create a good laugh while still giving feedback. Perhaps they could tone down and tell the thread creator that they're laughing with them, not at them, and assure the thread owner that it is only feedback to help make it better. Honestly, I wish that people would criticize me in that manner, it tells me that they have a good sense of humor and their intent is still clear - to provide criticism. I see nothing wrong with this. |

| I agree with phoneguy. I kind of enjoy watching the trolls point out the things I want to say but am too scared to. |

| @Phoneguy, Trolls don't always use laughs to put in constructive creative, that is very rare. Mostly, the trolls that I have seen, Will copy the C.S. and put something rude in it, or will make posts as if their in the RP but in the post is something like "I kill everyone" or they post under someones name and make them look bad. |

| Although the deleting posts is not the best idea, (this is branching off Mat's other idea) we should be able to control who sees RPs that we create. It would be much easier to make a private R.P, collab, the sorts. |
