Original answer:
Count me in! I even made a cute banner for you while I was bored... but when I tried to test it to see if people could add it to their profiles I noticed that AB won't let you have external links without editing them - which prevents you from putting pictures into your profile.
If you are interested, style-sheets and basic HTML do work in your profile.
Ah well.
Enjoy the banner anyway. :)

I do.
Rallies and protests, come on!
Trolls suck.
Anti-trolls, I am in. hahah.
by AntigoneRising on November 30th, 2006
I want to! Do we get t-shirts, rings, and a super-secret decoder pin?
by tinybubbles is sitting on the carpet read on November 29th, 2006
Me too. go back under the bridge were you belong troll.
by porshacat on November 30th, 2006
I refuse to join any club that would accept me as a member
by RFlagg on November 30th, 2006
Certainly! I'm going to alter my profile now.
by djb1969 on November 29th, 2006
Yes I'll join your club or anyones club against trolls.
by Wendora on November 30th, 2006
I like Trolls.. I think it's the wild hair and the jewel belly buttons that I find so appealing.
by lightfly on November 29th, 2006
Yeah! I will. Trolls outta here!
by gondola on November 30th, 2006
If it would get rid of some of the absurd questions that are taking away from Answerbag's integrity, I would love to join.
by jt007m on November 30th, 2006
I'm down for membership...
by cdPlaya363 on November 30th, 2006
I'm in on the anti troll league!
by Mrs.mezzo is a Wagnerian soprano on November 30th, 2006
I'm in for sure-I now realize that you cannot answer or ask a single honest question in the religion section without getting trolled. I think that's malarkey!
by djb1969 on November 29th, 2006
How to stop them.... maybe reduce the not helpful until level 2 or 3. At the very least they would have to participate before they actually could be a troll.
by Jodie44 on December 7th, 2006
Elitheeli asked a very similar question four days before this one appeared.
Would anyone like to join the Answerbag Anti-Troll Assembly (AATA)? I am sick and tired of trolls.

Me, pick ME! I want to stop the trolls. The Answerer shall be our fearless leader who shall lead us to wage war upon the trolls among us.
by Carmella on November 30th, 2006
Yep, I'm in. You can hold the first meeting at my house if you need a venue!
by Mrs.mezzo is a Wagnerian soprano on November 30th, 2006
I just got trolled while answering the question "What are some reasons people get married?" What the heck?!? I thought for sure that was a nice, safe question. EGADS.

Always willing to join some sort of anti-group.However if they bring religion into it I'm out.
by Anonymous on December 2nd, 2006
OK, but only if I don't have to buy a minimum of 6 DVD's in a two year period, and only if I can opt out if I want to down the road.
by Stableboy on December 2nd, 2006
Ok, I signed up. Where's my free gift?
by Jenniferocious on November 30th, 2006
Me! yay, a club! when do I learn the secret handshake?
by Coheed on November 30th, 2006
Troll.. hmm not exactly sure what this means in terms of internet lingo but being that I am half Troll (on my mothers side) I take this to extreme offence. You dont see me posting anti-dog threads? No the hatred must stop!
by Angeleve on December 13th, 2006

I do. Absolutely.
by tomsims on January 15th, 2007
Did we ever decide on the dues and the meeting schedule.
I am busy on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
And on Thursdays, I have my Anti-Bade-Speelers Klub.
I am also very busy with my Ant-Toilet-Seat-Wetters Fraternity and a few other worthy causes.
However, having given it a lot of thought, if I am still welcome, I will do my part.
by game masta on January 15th, 2007

Okay. I put the words Anti-troll club member in my profile. Am I in?

I've just realized that there are angels out there detecting the indiscriminate down rating of answers and negating the negative? Thank you! Is anyone willing to take a bow or teach me how I can do this more systematically for others? I do when I notice.

Nice, thorough treatment of the topic nevets.
by Stableboy on February 17th, 2007
Me and nevets have been patrolling for trolls for months, trying to solve and combat the problem, nevets has been kind to act as our honor guard on the topic, he has performed above and beyond the call of duty of any A-bagger I have come to know, he is more than deserving of that recognition. (Salute)
by Sunblynd 5.0 on February 18th, 2007
I love the last link the best man! LOL THANKS!
by TheAnswerer on February 19th, 2007
