This is my thread.
Flame? Troll? I'm the guy with the banstick!

Fool! While you were still learning to spell your post! I was being trained to troll galaxies!

"I'm not going to post it, you post it!"
"I'm not going to post it!"
"Let's ask Sleestack!"
"Yeah. He won't post it - he trolls everything."
"He posted it! Hey Sleestack!"
Bless these highly informative digestible posts in this amazing thread and the posters who typed them. Amen.

"I remember the First Flame War, the way the posts burned, the topics of posters perma-banned. I saw a third of the PVP guilds banned, and the creation of PWNZ. I stood with my forumites and watched UniqueDragon fall. But now, my forumites are not forumites, and we have come to this thread, where we are bannable, to steal a Jerkhacker not yet UniqueDragon's, to serve our cause. I have always obeyed the user guidelines, but I never thought the Flame War would happen again."

"Some trolls aren't looking for anything logical, like custom titles. They can't be neg rep'd, bullied, reasoned, or pwned. Some trolls just want to watch the forums burn."
I love the smell of flaming trolls in the morning. It smells like . . . Victory.

A handful of posters in a freaky thread are gonna save the forums?
Exactly. The essence of Forum Kombat is not about flames, but trolls. Mortal men and women defending your own thread.
In many of the more relaxed websites on the internet, the Comic and Hero/Villain Culture threads in City of Heroes Forum has already supplanted the great Encyclopaedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects.
First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words DON'T FLAME inscribed in large friendly letters in it's Posting Guidelines.
On the online message boards, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the original poster, who instigates conversation, and the flaming trollers, who stir up the community. These are their posts.

These are the treads of the City of Heroes forums,
It's continuing mission, to comment on strange new ideas,
To seek out new rumors and new criticisms.
To boldly post where no troll has posted before!
"Flames! Flames were the issue in those days. I can assure you, gentlemen, there is nothing quite so grotesque as the meeting of a poster with a ban; or an entire thread banned while replying. That was the Mod's resolution of that particular issue and I have seen nothing in its behavior since then that would persuade me that it has gained either in wisdom, common sense, or humanity."

"Did you ever notice how in the Community Digest, whenever the Devs needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever the Devs needed a banning, they send a Mod? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole life spent praising your Game, but always with one hand on the ban button? Would you ever really want to meet a Mod?"

Sleestack Jr.- ShoNuff, ShoNuff! Why is he /ignoring us daddy?
Sleestack- Because we have to troll him.
Mod- Ok, We’re going in, Go, Go, Move!
Sleestack Jr.- He didn’t do anything wrong?
Sleestack- Because he’s the mayor CaH/VC deserves, but not what it needs right now. So we’ll flame him. Because he can take it, because he’s not our mod. He’s a not-so-silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Dark Tackler!
I've seen posts you people wouldn't believe. Troll bait on fire off the shoulder of General Discussions. I watched rage posts glitter in the dark near the suggestions and ideas. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to unsubscribe.
You wanna post with me? You posting with the best! You wanna post with me? Okay. You little cockroaches... come on. You wanna play Forum Games? Okay, I post with you; come on. Okay. You wanna post rough? Okay! Say hello to my little flame!
It started - for me, it started - last Thursday, in response to an urgent post from my RSS, I hurried home from a superhero convention I'd been attending. At first glance, everything looked the same. It wasn't. Something evil had taken possession of the thread...

Is that it? Is that all you're gonna ask me? Well I got a couple of thousand ******* questions, you know. I want to email someone in charge. I want to post a complaint. You have no right to ban people! You think I investigate every ShoNuff story there is? Huh? If this is just a flame war, how come I know every post in such detail? I've never read this before. How come I know so much? What the hell is going on around here? Who the hell are you people?
They're coming. The trolls are coming for you, but listen, you're life could depend on this: don't hyperlink, don't even hyperlink. Hyperlink and you're dead. They're fast, faster than you can believe. Don't hit the back button, don't alt-tab away, and don't hyperlink!
Good luck.
So post all of us!
SO POST ALL OF US!
The Troll is coming...
