The mods do their best and we ban several people daily/weekly in addition to sending out warnings, infractions, etc. even if a mod is seen in a thread it doesn't mean we read every single post. When I post in the GDT and then come back 30 minutes later I don't read the 100 posts I missed, I simply continue on from the end of the thread. The trolls eventually get banned because a) they clearly stand out as trolls they get reported several times and the mods then look into their posting history or c) they post something blatantly inappropriate. The point is they will get warned and/or banned, but people need to cut the mods some slack, we have lives too. A simple solution is to report and then ignore posters. If you report them we will see this.
Now onto my second and more important point. If you report a member and then go onto hound that member on the forum relentlessly, you yourself are contributing to troll behaviour. If you want a better and cleaner forum then stop posting s*** and stop with the witch hunts. Report inappropriate behaviour and then move on. It really goes both ways and it's no wonder that certain regulars get the brunt of troll attacks and probably rightly so.
In summation, stop feeding the trolls and contribute to this forum positively if you actually give a s***. This thread is a classic example of someone who is feeding the trolls and honestly, this is exactly what they want. Talk to the mods privately if you must but please stop creating threads every month to complain about the trolls, it's really counterproductive.
