Being selective and nit picky always leads to stagnation and disaster for a community. If anyone starts trolling just ban their IP and delete the thread/post, so I think anybody should be allowed to join regardless. REST this forum is a SAAAFFEE SPAAAAACCE, with bully proof windows and troll safe doors. You even have to ask the community for their opinion on a person to determine if they can be let into the safe space. I really do not like it at all and I regret coming here. On the other hand; it is and will be a better place for guides and more serious discussion. So I'm kind of at a crossroads at this point in time. But we came here to get away from the Trolls. The people that Gimp O'Toothless defended because he had a little bit of power. I never saw any of that for myself. The mods are third party, and probably need to service multiple forums. Grimp was probably new, very busy, or worked there for a while. Either way it looks like he was sticking strictly to the guidelines WGA set out for the official forum without thinking about context or whatever; which is his job. for all you know he has another 100 forums or something to moderate(bit of an exaggeration, I don't think anybody knows unless we ask directly). He and the others would not have the time to go through every page and post of a thread; its why they didn't actively look for offences in the first place(but I'm guessing they did have an automated system that flagged threads or posts with certain key words in them); and also why troll threads were able to go on for so long. There would be no trolls anywhere on the internet if people just learned to ignore them(pretty much every social site has an ignore feature by the way, including this one); but people don't seem to learn/always make the same mistakes and respond to, or encourage, the trolls.

Yes, feel free to talk freely, for the most part. Rascist, homophobic and sexist insults are censored, other than that, just please don't use swearing in personal insults. Welcome to the forum

I'm all up for second chances. At the end of the day the worst that will happen is they will troll like before and then get banned. I noticed that Turbonobber has been accepted, which surprised me because in my eyes he was almost on par with Voldemort.

Hoping that he will make some good contributions to the knowledge centre section.

I'd say give them a chance. I will admit I'm worried about Voldemort though. Not just him but how people react to him. Like, Occasionally he would post something serious or semi-valid and people would attack him because he trolls, Even if it wasn't relevant to what he had just posted. So even if he doesn't troll here, I'm worried it will turn in a shitstorm just because he posts in the first place. I'm hoping i'm underestimating our collective ability to be adults, but felt like mentioning it anyway.

That was the old Turbo, back when he was still filled with teenage angst and know-it-all-ism. I think he made a thread that was basically him apologising for being an arse. Ever since then I unblocked him and he was much more helpful and friendly. Voldemort did make some interesting topics; though I'm pretty sure he is the equivalent of a room full of monkeys tip tapping keyboards. Eventually they will have threads about the works of Shakespeare given enough time.

I wonder if it was just Voldemort pushing the boundaries to see what was and wasnt possible.

I'm hoping i'm underestimating our collective ability to be adults, but felt like mentioning it anyway. As Violet said, this is a shared concern. Tbh, if a person with a bad rep on the other forum is behaving fine here, and other forumers give them shit, then those forumers will face punishment. If someone trolls, then gets bad replies, the troll will get punished, regardless of if they use clever wording or not. I wonder if it was just Voldemort pushing the boundaries to see what was and wasnt possible. He says it was, that he was trying to show how bad the moderation was, however i don't know much value i put in that. End of the day, he causes crap, he gets an IP ban, a permanent one. I'm very wary of him joining.

I don't want to sound like I'm gunning for him in particular because I'm not. Fresh starts and clean slates for all.

Maybe tell the ones people are weary of to have different forum names? That way people won't react negatively just because of their tag.
