To the Mods - How best to report trolls in the New Multi-Boxers & Support forum

[Sarduci]

The title says it all. It's getting bad enough that I'm going to start searching on other members points and start flaming the hell out of them in every single thread they post in just so they can see what it's like.


IT"S THE DAMN NEWBIE FORUM - IF YOU DON"T WANT TO HELP THEM STFU!!!!!!

[The_Whack]

there is a difference between Helping someone and Doing the work for someone. Newbie forum is full of very useful info, not to mention, the search feature is great but STILL people expect to get all the answers from others without trying first themselves.

Sorta like "Feed a stray once and it'll keep coming back for more"

[Oatboat]

yes yes. Teach them to fish, dont give them fish.

[Wilbur]

I'd like to state, that as the "New Multiboxers" forum is the safe-haven, I will be flaming the shit out of every stupid question I see anywhere else.

That is neither constructive or helpful on any level. This is what I'm talking about.

10 years of tech support here, I'm all about teach a man to fish.

OP was probably talking about me. I forgot about the newbie area, but the questions are out there already... 1 pally and 4 sham ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=9076') have been talked about in tons of threads (the op had no respect), the follow command is in threads plus in wiki ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=81601&highlight=#post81601') , i admit i might be wrong about the healing forum ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=9090') (but that has been talked about a ton), and another keyclone ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=9086') that has been talked about. Maybe that i read the forums a lot recently that i see the same thing over and over again. Granted that the search isn't the best, but they should at least say i tried. Some do but are like i couldn't find anything about keyclone maximize which is not true because it has been discussed. But something like i want to role 4 mages and a hunter and i did a search and nothing came up or it wasn't what i was looking for.

I do notice that the search doesn't like when you look for something like AV. Nothing comes up but we all know that AV has been talked about.
It is like google you want to know about 1 pally and 4 sham. You type in "1 pally and 4 sham" and nothing comes up you try something new like "pally and 4 sham" or "pall sham 4". If you type in "pally sham" and get 1k results then you try "pally 4 sham".

The best way for me is simply the yellow "report" button at the bottom of a post.

I'm not sure how often the other mods check up on the post reports, but I've been cleaning them out slowly but surely.



If you don't have anything nice to say at all, stay out of the newbie forum. Reminding people about the search feature or linking them to stickies is acceptable as long as it's being done in a helpful manner.
Take this ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=81443#post81443') as an example.

FYI - Most search engines don't work off of two letters, all the major ones require three or more letters for all search terms.

Now sod off you human lump of waste, you should have searched in a search engine about common minimum lengths for terms. ../forum/images/smilies/biggrin.png
