Serious thread about Inspector Chelmey. | |||||||

You have to consider “definition of trolling” is not really definition of trolling, it’s more like “what you should avoid posting in the blue side of the board”.
Spamming is not trolling by definition (otherwise the entirety of China would be trolls with all the viagra e-mail spam), you’re simply not allowed to do it here.
The point we’re trying to make, and people are simply letting it whooooosh all over their heads, is that we shouldn’t be forced to use a script to avoid this guy as a whole.
In before Inspector Celerysteve comes here and say “OH HEY I GOT A RISE OUT OF YOU HERP DERP DURP I’M A GOOD TROLL!!11111 XB~”: Someone usually ignores you before they get a rise so they won’t give you that taste. Counter-trolling, per se.
I’ve proved it’s possible to keep GRP “clean”, but why should I need to pull the effort to bury useless spam that will just happen again? It’s like monkeys flinging poo.

Also, why do I find so hilarious that people that are considered disruptive/an annoyance (Bacchus/Nerd o Powa) are the only ones that are openly supporting Chelmey?
Arguing against me for the sake of arguing simply means you want to argue, not that you support someone.
I can’t help but think that, if Merc was still here, he’d be advocating for him right now. |

I am also arguing to prevent The Inspector from being banned again. |

I honestly don’t know if you’re being intentionally obtuse or if you just refuse to accept that the world doesn’t revolve around your definition. Scroll way up in the thread. Third post. There’s a handy link to how trolling is generally defined on the internet.
The type of spamming you describe in your post here refers to commercial unsolicited email. Nothing about chelmey’s posts is commercial. It’s plain old spam that’s intended to rile people up in a forum. Wait, what’s that? Could that be… trolling?!? *gasp*
Look – the dude isn’t breaking any rules and only persists because you guys are giving him the attention he wants. Stop feeding the trolls and they go away. Really, they do. I’ve tried it before. I’ve seen it happen! |

I wish I could make everyone install the hellban script but people obviously won’t do that and threads like these will continue to exist Log in to see images! |

I guess you’re right.
I’ll just stop posting in RP altogether, with the exception of The Fran Thread. Can you clean it up whenever people **** it up? That would be lovely Log in to see images! |

I’m not going to say I haven’t been giggling about this little hissy fit, but you’re hardly as important to me as you would like to believe.

Log in to see images! this argument needs more sailboats. like the sailboat, we should glide over the spam, and feel the cool breeze caressing our scalps and think wow this is why we live life despite all the ****. then we pop open a nice bottle of wine, smell it all fancy like, and drink it. |

I would like to bring your attention to Chewbacca. Right. I believe I’d made my point clear. |

I don’t know what to say really. I want to repeat what I said before but that would be considered as trolling. I’d like to make a post explaining why every thread he’s made is worthless but that’s a waste of time because he’s got like a billion threads. I would like ricket to improve his thread grabber so it ignores certain peoples threads because I’m too lazy to look at his code and do it myself.
Oh ho ho it’s all trolling and hilarious and fun and games but if you think about it this is the only site that allows spam for some reason. I can’t think of any other place that allows spamming. Heck I don’t think the ****hole of the internet (4chan) allows spamming.
I dunno what could counter this. I mean one site I know had a forum that required you to fill in a captcha before you post (that AND a flood limit). I mean that’s a bit too much obviously. How about a limit on how many threads you can make a day? Can the voting system actually do something so like if a thread has so many downvotes that it gets “hidden” like you would with *buildr? Something needs to be done you can’t just go “oh well it’s in RP then I guess they can get away with it”. Sorry if this sounds “uncivil”; but that’s very special. |

Trolling is to an extend an art and Inspector just downright sucks at it. |
