Following News, I made a change to the “no trolling” rule in Politics and World (rule 4 for Politics, 5 for World)
“Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.”
Nope, reported comments will be addressed as usual.
With all due respect, that did not happen with UM for months and far longer with linkerbaan.
Because they walked a fine line. Bans don’t happen on presumptions.
You can’t blame the community here for being kind of frustrated with this response. Many people reported trolling behavior for a long time before that ban finally happened. If the things I reported them for myself aren’t trolling then I don’t know would qualify as trolling.
Several other instances banned UM for trolling long before .world did. Because it wasn’t unclear.
The best we can we do is watch and look for an excuse!
