trolls/spammers/bad members

From looking at the forum over the past few weeks, I have noticed alot of members have taken 'situations' into their own hands, regarding trolls, spammers etc. I would ask that you please stop doing it. It draws more attention to a situation than is required, and causes unwanted drama on the forums, which in turn gives MLK a bad public image.

If you are suspicious of anyone or any activity, do not handle it yourself or with your friends. Let the mods handle it. Our job is to make sure that MLK stays safe and protected, but we cant do it alone. We do need your help. Report anything you deem suspicious to any moderator/admin (including RP mod as they will pass on the message). ALL inquiries will be dealt with asap.

Once again, I ask that members report suspicious activity instead of trying to deal with it. Help us, the mods, help you, the pride!

LOL. Nobody was doing this though, KK. They were just feeding the trolls, (again) not taking the situation into their paws.

When a troll comes on, let's just report him/her and leave it at that, and resist the urge to troll them back or flame them. I am guilty as charged DX but KK has brought it to my attention that we should just leave them alone and let the mods handle them and their posts.

BTW I personally recommend telling KK when something happens - cuz he gets da job done. That's the kind of mod we need up in heah!

^that

Looks like I'm guilty too. *turns herself in* I already got a warning PM from KK telling me to stop trolling teh trollz. :oops:
Lol but srsly, someone needs to handcuff my paws and duct-tape my mouth shut. I have a vile tongue when it comes to dealing with trolls. :evil: Sometimes my hubris gets the best of me and I say the first thing that comes to my mind without even realizing it. ^^

I'm pretty disappointed with how some members continue to act this way towards new members regardless of how they act - even after being told not to several times by staff. It is extremely disrespectful towards our new members and it makes you look ridiculous. Please, just report them if you feel they need reporting.

Is the answer to all our problems. Well done, Moka! :)

There is a troll right in front staring at you in the face......
Are you going to panic?
Trolls are people who agitate others into a fight
They tend to do it for fun
Flamers are people who hit hard on people in a fight
They do this because they think you are lousy
Drama Llamas are people who tell lies and steal
They do it for attention

I won't stop myself to admit I have been trolling people for a long time in other forums though I have stopped rather in the late. And the funny thing is that I only need to act once and there is this 'multiplier effect' and flames pop up.
If you meet a troll you shouldn't go all out against him or her
By far telling the mods is the best thing but I still find it wrong
Another thing I have is to laugh along and stay friendly
Talk about funny stuff and don't get into a debate you will most likely lose
I think trolls can be fairly friendly people if they know the community is a acceptable and entertaining community


You can't just ban trolls. They will come back and that is the biggest mistake in my opinion. Rather we should make peace and watch for each other and only ban when its absolutely needed.

Which is why KK's plea here is to ignore any problem members and report them to the staff. He understands, as do I, that attention is what trolls want.

But the staff should only ban if it is really out of hand. If members are troll proof then trolls wouldn't be trolls.
The people we should ban are below
