Go on you know you can do it

As for moderation. Polite moderation is one thing but heavy moderation can and sometimes does turn into removing anything that the 'supreme posters' turn their nose up at.

If threads and/or postings have useful advisory or evolutionary value to Maemo then whats the issue no matter how elementry or pointless they might be in the eyes of others then let them be.

If however the thread fails rules along those or similar lines and the individual clearly wants to be the forum jester then call the mods in.


well, i was ignoring them at first, but now they are over-represented.
Many times, with the serach tool for serious matter, i had troll entries coming up top of the list.

i've been reporting posts, tho, but it seems hopeless.


And to those saying that it is impossible to be online 24/7 to delete the trolls, i'd say it is not necessary...
Would take me 5 mins to delete the 10 major trolling threads each day.
