Are some Trolls more equal than others?

[Suntan Sid]

I'm interested to know why our latest troll has been dealt with by moving his/it's thread to F&FW's?

The previous fuknugget was left to his own devices and eventually got karma'd out of existance.
So why has the latest potato, architect of this thread, :-

https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=315337

not been afforded the same chance of oblivion?

It took less than 7 posts and a few name changes for it to show it's true colours, what's the point of letting the thread and the OP hang around, when a, mass, karma ban would seem to have been in the offing?

While I'm on the subject, the said, previous fuknugget, enemied me, after claiming I'd done something to his IP adress, I didn't, I wouldn't know how.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, AIUI, being set to enemy by the troll does my karma no good at all.
All the negative karma he dished out has been revoked, yet I have to live with the bad karma from being enemied, is this the case, if so why so?

The thing is, after he accused me of meddling with his internet settings, he enemied me straight away, so he couldn't see any of my posts, which I assume is why he didn't give me any karma at all, or maybe he couldn't lose face!
I however was still able to give him plenty of karma, all bad, such a shame!

As I said before, I was lead to believe that, merely, being set to enemy meant that my karma took a huge hit!

Some people have such great lives that trivial things bother them to the point that they feel they must share them.

I couldn't personally give a shit about Karma or trolls. Neither have any real effect on my life, so they can do as they choose. If Karma affected my credit score, I'd be all over it. I'm not sure a Troll could make me want to do anything but laugh and point. Unless of course they managed to get into your actual day in real life, they are just bits of text on a page, on a server, somewhere in the interwebs.

I wish my life was great.

Or the BCF could have a small questionnaire before you are allowed to join. Nothing major really, it could be something like: Q, Where do you start a thread about ''Technical discussions and mechanical advice.''? And 3 options. a) Biking News & Rumours; b) Random Banter; c) The Workshop.

I bet about 30% of newcomers would either learn how the forum works or give up and never get pass the question/s.

On the understanding I'm not leaving 100% shitpost threads in the workshop section, where should I have put it? By the time it had been edited, there was absoutely no meaning to the thread. I don't think there was much more to be said in it either.

I could have deleted it altogether but then everyone complains about censorship.

To the best of my knowledge, being put on enemy by someone with shit karma doesn't make much of a difference to yours, if any.

Also remember, I don't read everything. If that thread had been in Random Banter, I'd probaby have left it to either drop off the bottom or let the locals play with it.

I try to keep the workshop to workshop stuff. Even some of the threads by the more shouty teens who know they are right and everyone else is wrong have at least something usefu in them (even if that's someone finding a thread asking how to derestrict a CG125 and seeing advice that they should do their test with an entertaining flounce on the end).

So whom are you referring to as the "previous fucknugget"?

I find the concept of the F&FW section somewhat bizarre, in that karma can't be dished out, so despite what the name implies, people can't slug it out in there!

I'm not sure why F&FW is a karma free zone, especially as seems to offer an element of protection to certain parties!

My specific question is, if someone sets me to enemy do I take a karma hit for that sole action?

One person setting you as enemy isn't going to make much difference.

If you're ever short on karma blobs, all you've got to do is post a stupid question or a pointless reply in the workshop forum.
