why would a laker fan get banned for trolling? You guys have made it clear trolling is okay

Because they didn't come with good intentions and they often use insults. I said they would be in jeopardy of being banned.

Its not against the rules. I dont like anymore than you do. I am sure the other mods don't care for it either as it can start flame wars. We monitor it. If it gets out of hand we deal with it.

I've just gotta disagree....I've heard frontal lobotomies and shock therapy can make people obedient if you throw in some thorazine with the oatmeal

its a nice double standard lol. You can troll unless it’s with bad intentions

Right, but you don't believe it. You play a character on this forum.

For example, MARIS I absolutely think believes what he says. bodyman was also sincere in his beliefs. A lot of right-wing people here are sincere, even if I think they're way out there. Your "opinions" are so obviously calculated and covered in ironic tone that it's fairly obvious that you don't actually offer sincere opinions.

People can choose to engage with your gimmick or not. I do when it amuses me. I never actually take you seriously--what's the point in debating seriously with a gimmick account?

What don't I believe?

That this is cool and fascinating? Check. It is.
That a guy in a racoon outfit taking over the capital is fucking hilarious? Check.
I think the police should use live ammo on these guys? Check. Its out of control. Strong show of force is appropriate.

basically Sly gets to choose what type of trolling is okay and not.

If a laker fan started threads in the main section about how terrible we are (the team, with no personal insults), what would happen lol

I thought I was pretty clear. Essentially all the opinions you post on this forum. At least when it relates to politics and society. Your posts about products and all might well be real--not a lot of trolling potential in discussing the best food processors.

No, all mods go by the rules.

The thread would likely be removed because said fan did not come with good intentions.
 
House and Senate to return after Capitol is cleared to finish certification

I've seen people in real life that believe as MARIS does. There's a whole forum of such people at Free Republic. Parlor is Twitter for MARISes.

isn’t the the act of trolling by definition, not good intentions?

The good intention rule and trolling rule are separate in nature. Trolling is usually in good fun and not serious. I dont take @EL PRESIDENTE serious in his pretend trolling posts.

Someone with bad intentions is someone who comes to the site just to directly attack others.

1. All posters with honorable intentions are welcome.

4. Flame wars are not allowed. We do tolerate poking fun of one another ingood fun, but hateful posts towards another poster are not allowed.

5. Trash talk is allowed. It's one thing to call Portland's NBA team the "Jailblazers" and another to call their fans idiots. The former is allowed, the latter is not.

How does that make sense? Trolling is the opposite of good intentions. You can't be a troll with "honorable intentions."

I always read the "honorable intentions" rule as a "no trolling" rule and my opinion is that Sly is basically removing that rule.

okay but then sly would need to ban himself.
Hcp would be banned. I would be banned. Half the forum would be banned.
Lighthearted trolling is a regular occurrence.
I bet i could find a post with you trolling even.
