I agree that the trolling or off-topic posts should stay in chit-chat section. However, I do find it odd that you posted this thread in motivation and support and not website suggestion or chit-chat section or anything. Doesn't this thread better belong there?

Yes.

I addressed this above. I felt it would be supportive of everyone to keep the fun and games, to the fun and games. Obviously people can't handle it. I'm done with the community portion, thank you.

That's why this site needs a rep system. Or a voting system to hide crap posts or wrong posts.

I'm all for fun and games. I crack jokes all the time. But if we're posting trolling topics, which I do find funny, can we keep it to the chit-chat, fun and games forums? It's really annoying trying to get good advice or help people, and then you come across things that are obviously not real. So please, can we keep up the fun, but in the proper area? I'll still read it, I swear!

so when you do it it's a joke and it's funny, but when others do it, it's trolling?

I wasn't trolling with this post, I was being serious.

oh... why... so serious???

So.... you recognize trolling when you see it and you're going to read it no matter where it is anyway...

Sounds good.

You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Or maybe I should realize that people on this site are just as immature as on other sites. Thanks for pointing that out, everyone!

Well that sure proved your point.

You can't expect people to change for you. Come to the forums and take what you want, leave the rest. It really isn't that big of a deal. Anyone who is getting hurt cuz of a pic in a random thread or whatever the case may be, has far bigger issues to deal with.

lol no

rep system is a terrible idea

I have actually seen the rep system being used on many sites (arenajunkies comes to mind) where its fairly successful. A site with the scale of MFP where the mods are much fewer compared to the massive population could definitely benefit from a rep system and would help both users and mods. I have suggested the rep system before however not sure if the admins are interested in implementing it

You're welcome

Come on, I'm really not being unreasonable here. There's really no need to be rude about it. Just trying to help everyone out. This site isn't just some stupid social media site, this is for helping others and helping ourselves. I'm not saying don't do it at all, and I know that won't happen.

Well, since you're trying to help...Sure.

hahah that made me smile.
Also if the trolling threads were only in chit chat then no one would ever take it seriously. And then what would I do during work?

Instead of complaining about the trolls, why aren't you helping people on the forums who are trying to start their babies on Shakeology but need flavor combinations that will appeal to an infant's sensitive palate?

"quit trolling" posts always bring out the best gifs and memes.

Side effect is all the great troll posts will be rated highest and knock all the "should I eat twelve calories" posts to the bottom

Be careful what you wish for people

i only troll when called upon

Way to successfully avoid trolling...


Don't post or come on the forums.

Waahlah!

So wait... you get Fizgig and Tard? That's not fair!

The First Amendment applies everywhere... but the MPF forums.

...in the United States. :huh:

And that applies to the government, not to private businesses (like MFP), but I digress.

ETA: Oh, and for the record, I mostly agree with OP.
