Intergalactic Summit

Friends, Sh*tposters, Summitgoers, lend me your ears;
I come to bury a certain annoying pilot, not to shame her
The bad posts flow into every topic,
The good is often interred in the deluge
So let it be with the troll...

For years we have all watched this get further and further out of hand. Some have tried logic, some have tried sympathy, some have tried aggression, some have tried bargaining... but, alas, all have failed.

A few have suggested mass reporting. I think we know that the troll is too stubborn, and too savvy a rules lawyer, for that route to be effective.

What I suggest is something unreasonable. A Pact to engage in the only tactics as childish as our foe: passive aggression.

First, the silent treatment. We ignore the troll and never speak its name.

Second, whenever the troll posts we reply in unison:



You should also throw in a link to this thread somewhere in there.

Third, we keep this topic bumped, and link it whenever someone who doesn't know the drill engages the troll.

At some point, all the gods willing, this pilot may decide to contribute constructively... but we all know how far fetched that is. But, if by some miracle it does happen, we can rescind the Pact at that time.

The Amarr must be purged!

On a serious note, I'll do my best to support this..

Not feeding the disruptive ones with the attention they desire? What a novel and unprecedented idea that surely hasn't been brought up before. Repeatedly. Ad nauseum. It's certain to work this time.

It is, I had some for lunch so that's where the word came from.

This is childish. Someones personal views, no matter how out spoken or out of touch with reality they may be doesn't mean they are this 'troll' concept few have been tossing around.

Instead of trying to thicken your skin under some petty agreement, you could simply ignore them if they offend you so much.

I'm pretty sure I said up front that it was childish. So, you're right. I agree.

Ignoring the troll doesn't work. Active measures must be employed.

If you cannot handle the rantings of one individual the IGS is not the public forum for you. Being a child will just place you in the same light as those you wish to punish.

I ad always noticed a certain trend.

When a certainn person was NOT AROUND, topic would always drift to them.

For months.

Without their help.

You may be speaking to the wrong crowd.

Well don't expect to garner any respect from others outside this little agreement.

By the way, if someone has ideas for a better standard reply by all means share. My OP may be too provocative, and I'm willing to consider and promote an alternative phrasing.
