Recently, weve seen activity by several forum posters to deliberately target other threads and encourage others to troll those threads. This is behavior that is not allowed. From the forum rules:
[ QUOTE ] 1. Abuse will not be tolerated.
No flaming, trolling, harassing, profanity, abusive language or abbreviations, personal attacks, racial, religious, ethnic, or sexual slurs.
This applies to both public threads and private messages. Do not link out from a post or private message to these types of content.
Flaming is defined as attacking others in harsh, personal terms.
Trolling is defined as deliberately posting derogatory, inflammatory comments/threads in order to bait other users into responding.
Personal attacks include, but are not limited to insulting a poster directly:
EX: You are stupid, you suck, and you should [censored].
Directly attacking another poster will result in a warning. If the behavior persists, you will be banned.
[/ QUOTE ]
Such actions create a hostile posting environment that does not promote the positive, constructive discussion that is desired on these forums.
In response, we have taken steps to suspend several of the users who engaged in this activity. All of the users who have had their accounts suspended had previous warnings not to engage in this, or similar, behavior. Additionally, we have provided warnings to the remaining parties who were involved. While we regret the necessity of these actions, we are firmly committed to providing a friendly and fun forum posting experience here on the City of Heroes forums.
Should you come across a post you feel is in violation of the forum rules, rather than taking the bait and posting a scathing comment in reply, please make use of the "Notify Moderator" button that can be found in the lower left hand corner of each post. We appreciate everyones input and helping to stay constructive on the forums.
