    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?

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

    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

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

    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. ;)

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

    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?

    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

    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.

    [insert stupid pony pic here]


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