You really don't understand how deliberate, relentless trolling is going to alienate people who don't post as often and are more interested in games than you?
You lose a few of those people and all a sudden when someone posts a thread about (insert semi-obscure game) instead of a handful of 3 or 4 people having an enjoyable conversation about that game, you have a couple assholes posting "never heard of it" or "don't care" troll posts. So then that poster leaves AND the people that come here in the hopes of learning about new stuff also leave.
I'm not saying you can't do it, I've never believed in moderating that kind of thing, but we've seen the number of people here drop sharply in the last year or so, and I wish people would thinl about the cumulative effects of that rather than the individual impact of each poster.

Who gets offended by a "don't care" post? One post that no one has to go back to or even acknowledge. Time for your balls to drop, imo.
-
It's not a matter of offended. But why would a person stay in that case? Why would any new person coming from the outside choose to post on TNL? See how that's a problem?
I mean really I think the problem is not the behavior existing but the fact that the board has become unbalanced and no longer has enough positivity and intelligent discussion to sustain the negativity and trolling. I used to defend that kind of stuff, but it only ever worked when there was a balance on the board and there isn't now.

I don't know, I like it when sucky people who suck hate the things I enjoy. Lets me know I'm on the right track.
Negative reinforcement is my life blood.

Nick has stated many times that the numbers are the same as ever.
Some people leave, some people reappear after being gone a while.
