Won't name anyone here, but I know some people that come on the boards just to whine and rage some more about bans / nerfs / people disagreeing with them.
While most of the threads I might find funny, some of them are just straight out coming from hell.
This is a really complex issue, because the policy has to toe the line between censorship and a welcoming environment. Something to start with, there are (in my mind) two main types of trolling:
Negative trolling is obviously a bad thing and it's what we generally think of with this concept, but trolling from the perspective of wit is something that can actually add value to communication. Some examples of this might be meme responses, sarcasm, etc. How do you preserve that while still dealing with the people that are intentionally baiting bad discussions?
My personal opinion is that negative trolling is bad for forum discussion regardless of how "funny" that troll might be. Not only is the troll producing content specifically designed to annoy people, not only does trolling perpetuate relatively negative conversations that get nowhere, but it eventually makes people start doubting each other. The idea of "not sure if troll" is not conducive to positive dialogue, and it makes it a lot harder for both players and Rioters to interact.
The really difficult part of dealing with the concept of trolling is finding the line I mentioned earlier. At what point does commenting become trolling, and at what point does trolling become damaging? How do you regulate it without the system feeling unfair or not being aggressive enough? What if someone is intentionally right at the edge but never crossing, or subtle enough that they just seem misguided?
Here are some example situations, how would you want them to be handled?
Would you be discussing a particular person that is overly fond of the word "psychopathy", by any chance?
yes. Riot actually told me not to spam pictures of champions or items or i would get get suspended form the boards. that message was not worth my spam trust me
