REQUEST: fake thread starters and serial trolls to be marked as do not help
 
:mad:Im sick of idiots (most recently maemoguy) starting fake threads and wasting my time, i would like to see a method whereby they can be marked do not help, maybe in their signatures or something (and implimemted by IMIE, not sure if thiis would be possible) rather than username to stop them just creating a new username to escape their shame.

Just wanted to vent a little, also i believe such threads should be deleated rather than just merged:mad:

I think you took the story of the boy who cried wolf a little too close to heart.

But these posters are very unhealthy for the community.
Look at how many high-level posters from past days, don't post anymore, or just post very little because they are annoyed every time they come on t.m.o.
And this will go further and further with the "mainstream-ization" of MeeGo.
What to do?

I think we need clear forum-rules and a fast moderator team.
Every post that is not on topic should be deleted immediately without a comment and the poster should be warned. After 5 warning the poster should be banned.
The same with insults.

What do you think?

Yeah feed em to the wolves, Lol:D

I just needed to vent my frustration a little, i know i shouldnt let em p*ss me off so much, but i see every day the selfless effort people put in to helping others and i think these trolls are just not worthy of participating in such a brilliant comunity, but luckily for them its not up to me.

Lol if i had any kind of power im sure id be a total tyrant:D

Actually it's going from one extreme to another extreme.
Currently this is anarchy ...

If you want anarchy go to 4chan.org
I would like this forum to be on topic.
