Ok, I'm more than a little frustrated by this happening repeatedly, so we get a ML thread about it.

Don't take the troll bait.

Recently we've had a situation develop in CI because people bit on trollbait. First a local and then an admin. This is not something that happens just to the inexperienced, this happens to all of us eventually. That being said, it's also something that inevitably creates CI drama.

Don't take the troll bait.

People will try to exploit your good nature by making a blatantly wrong post for you to correct. Often it will be something with a false assumed premise or fallacious logic. The purpose of the post is to get a response from you that they can then springboard off of.

Don't take the troll bait.

If you see an low post count account suggesting the GRRRRRRRRR should be publicly archived with the gutter, it's a troll account.


Don't take the troll bait.

If you see a post addressing you that is ignoring a mod request, it's troll bait. The entire point is to make it so that you feel compelled to respond.

Don't take the troll bait.

I've made the mistake more times than I can count, and I'm sure everyone else has as well, but we need to be much more careful about this. It's important to realize that you as a staff member have a larger target on your head than most, and that a troll can generate a much larger stir if they can get you to bite.

Don't take the troll bait.

Look at the post you're replying to. If it's made by a low post user or a known troll, don't touch it. Maybe card it, maybe report it, but to blindly approach with benign innocence will result in more work and drama for you and everyone else. Look for the clear memes used in the past when targeting the staff.

Don't take the troll bait.

I get that this got pretty pedantic, but I'm tired of dealing
with drama because a troll succeeded in exploiting someone's good nature. It's not a big deal for it to happen now and then, but this is turning into a major hassle that I'd rather not see repeated frequently.

Anyway, that's about it. Any questions, frustrations, or musings are welcome below.

Talore if you are out there under the same sad moon as me I just want you to know that I have been studying your stalwart defending of the Gutter in the mod lounge and implore you to post here again, become a gimmick like the rest of us.

[Kaitscralt]

Cast away your former self.

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

I AM THE LEAK

[Kaitscralt]

Talore if you post here as a gimmick we won't tell a soul. Just do some kind of code word so we know it's you.

[Kaitscralt]

The Pagan has landed.

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

[( G_R )]

Well, good cops, bad cops, bored cops, there are cops everywhere! Talore! Just gimmick up, I can IP check if it's you!

[( G_R )]

I gimmick-check everyone anyways! Dossiers full of IPs.
