Is everyone aware that AB's official policy concerning trolls is to completely ignore them and their attempts to cause chaos on AB? That's right - just flag anything you see and don't answer or comment.

You no sooner put up that question and you get trolled right away,this +5 will offset that.
-
Are you referring to my answer to rickster , I only wanted to let him and others know that were not allowed to ask for points in any way - and I explained that in a nice and polite way +5 good question Jodie
-
I didn't know that, but suspected it.

Just FYI - response from AB-Joel http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/330722

Jodie, excellent question. It's a good way to point out the policy to new members who may be unfamiliar with it. To be honest, I never knew a policy existed until you informed me. I myself have violated it a few times since then and because of that, I speak for all of us when I say that we all need a gentle reminder
-
No, apparently, not everyone is aware. It's true, though http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/996034

Oh, we will now. By the way he's back.

That is an excellent policy. Also, it works. It is hard as Hades to do but, really, it DOES work. Feed a troll, it comes back. Giving attention is feeding the troll. Now, with clones, I am for a few naming the clone as a clone so others do not believe the clone is the original. I do not think that goes with AB policy but, if I see a clone, I am going to name it as such.

I did know that, but I am glad you have brought it up. I have not been on a lot lately and gladly seem to be missing the trolling (although I recall how irritating it was a while ago when a certain troll was using AB heavily). This is a good way to let people know how to handle the issue. :) Cheers for you Jodie!! :) Hooray!!!
-
realy thank you for telling me this i did not know, but now that i do , i will keep it in mind.
-
I think that is a very good policy. Earlier today it was endless postings of negative things back and forth, the more people saw it the more they wanted to respond. It was absolutely sickening.
-
thanks for an attempt to make people more aware, jodie. i was actually unaware of the policy; i thought it was more of a personal policy that i was trying to instill in others. i can't figure out why anyone would want to give these so called "trolls" attention or recognition anyway, that's exactly what they're after.
-
Thank you for the information. I did not know that. :) You are amazing, though, despite your protestations. :)
-
Yes, I did know it.Joel said this in an answer too.
-
Only answering to put this back up on the home page
-
Alright, good to know. It actually makes complete sense and I don't know why I didn't figure it out already.
-
Thank you....I did not know that. It is kind of hard sometimes. Maybe I should put up a post it on the computer to remind me. It helps me at work.
-
Makes sense to me. The fact that an ATC (anti troll club) exists is the reason "trolls" do what they do.
-
Can someone explain to me what a troll is? And what all this is about. New to this computer world. Thanks
-
I am. Drives me nuts when people spend an hour throwing rotten tomatoes at a troll rather than reporting or ignoring them. When that happens, the trollish behavior escalates AND they can continue to post until a CL runs into the troll and hands them an orange AB jumpsuit.
