Oh no, I wasn't mocking the word, I was just making it seem like the trolls on here aren't really trolls compared to others on the internet.
Oh, that's what I meant. Compared to "trolls" everywhere else, it didn't seem right to describe the minor nuisances on this sight as full blown "trolls".

yes trolls here are nothing compared to 4Chan, I can even bring myself to click the link to that site, I'm a coward...
I find these people more annoying than anything, honestly.
as I said before I've never been there myself but I've seen screenshots of the forums on google and it seems like every single one of them members are trolls in fact I believe most internet trolls come from there like it's their colony or something lol
my English is horrible. sorry~

Guys shes not joking about the grammar and editting stuff. I see flame wars on youtube and people have bad grammar, spelling, etc, thats the first thing they get insulted on.
I tear people apart over grammar and spelling.
I'm sorry but not everyone is fluent in English so those people should ask if English is their native language before trashing them...
I do.
and some people have to write in short forms because they might actually be in a hurry or at work. I personally write in short forms when I use my phone because my phone internet is very clunky and stupid and I do it when I'm at work or outside so I can't take my sweet time writing full words with proper grammar sometimes, even though I really hate writing that way. plus I actually believe I'm part dyslexic because I can't read or see the words very well most of the time, I might be wrong though but I have to make at least one mistake in every comment I make even after reading it twice lol
I find trolling is bad though, you never know how the persons day was. Maybe it was the most ****tiest day ever, and someone come and being plain rude or trolling. Could be the last thing that make someone have a break down. I know my english isnt the best, but I do figure that if someone try to correct me instead of trying to understand me and talk to me in a proper way. They probly have nothing to say or people might don't know what to say. People got dyslexic, but it dosen't make them stupid or anything. And being able to spell like a god or something, dosen't make you automatic smart. Its the information what matters.

It's harder to avoid it on here than, say, Iscribble (which is a site I've gotten trolled on, because I tried to be nice) If the experience on there there taught me anything is that unless you have people to back you up is to just ignore the troll (using the ignore function, since just "i'm ignoring you" doesn't work all that well.) Hell, even if you can have someone/other people back you up, you should ignore them. I never did that and it resulted in tons of tears (even though I got told/called worse at school.) I almost got banned for losing my cool. So skip the anger and just ignore c:
I, personally, think this is a great way to discuss "TBT behavior" .
I have noticed, as have many of my TBT friends, that there has been a rash of rude comments and "stalking" since the end of the holidays/Fair. (I have never seen you, Beardo, by the way)
Actually, I have noticed that it seems to be happening by newbies...Sadly, I have considered taking a "TBT break" and shutting down my cycling thread as a result. I also have steered clear of users who started their accounts in late December, 2014 or later. Are these people (kids... ??) that got a DS/ACNL for a holiday gift and are now trying to get all they can from those of us who are exceptionally generous?
Frankly, I am 37, a professional and I play to relax. I have 3 kids, all with accounts on here. If I were to see my kids act the way some of the members act on here, I would remove their membership so fast, their head would spin!
I would also like to add, that while our moderators try and usually do a great job, I believe their should be more mediation and "suspensions" when people act like fools. Maybe a "3 strikes and you're out"? ... OR better yet, maybe new members need to be "approved" by a "member moderator" that can cross check banned accounts/emails/town names or other identifiers.
Just my 2 cents... hey, you get what you pay for, right...lol

I completely agree! There are many, MANY members on this site whose primary language is not English. That being said, the grammar and spelling errors are typically similar with those who do not speak English primarily.
Like myself, for example. I can speak and write in Spanish, however, it will be VERY clear to someone who primarily speaks Spanish that I learned in a classroom, not in real life.
TBT: give these peeps a break!
However, the 12 year olds on here that have poor spelling/grammar...well, we can tell they are just plain young. Really.

I haven't seen you around, considering I lurk in the basement/museum/brewster's.
You make some very valid points.
Some of these newer members are concerning me.
Thanks for posting.
I haven't seen you much, either, Beardo. But trust me...I am on here allllll the time...lol...
Hang in there, Beardo. I am sure this is just a "phase"...as they say "This, too, shall pass!"
BTW: I started logging in "invisible" only in the past few days d/t 2 members, of whom I have reported (but never got ANY response from mods) ...

Really? Why do you say that?
As many "stickies" as there are (that nobody seems to read)...I think someone (Thank you Beardo!) needs to make a statement so that everyone is aware of the "elephant in the room"...
I know of 4 members, all of whom are VERY active members, that are considering leaving! Something, anything, needs to be done!

Jas0n was here? he's actually one of the nicest mods imo~
mods tend to be silent a lot of times, I think we should just leave them alone
