Need a New Forum Report Option: "Report for Trolling"

Deep Terror Nami·6/25/2015, 7:38:43 PM·13 votes·1,856 views

There are plenty of trolls on the forums that get to continue doing it because there is no repercussion. They sit just on the edge of breaking the rules so they can't be reported. They are pretty obvious, so stacking up Trolling reports from different people could flag them to get looked at by a moderator for bans. Please add this so they stay in GD or go away entirely.

Edit: I'd like to thank the troll who arrived specifically to prove the necessity of this. Thank you, you've been a huge help.

Doesn't most trolling fall under offensive, spam, or harassment anyway?

Or if the troll is starting their own threads, incorrect board usually suffices if they're not posting an actual topic.

Pretty sure "trolling" goes under "spam" moving on.

I don't see trolling that isn't offensive, spam, or harassment as bad. I mean a ton of the posts directly violate the "Don't be a jerk" rule, and they don't even bother to remove them.

If the trolling isn't offensive, harassment or spam, why report them? I usually find trolling funny.

What is the point of this report tho?

Some people just post for their happiness to get down voted. Why would we bother to implement such unnecessary measure when resources could be used on some other areas to improve gaming experience?

I mean, i barely see Jiberamu/Pallyclark/Genuwhine sprouting non sense anymore.

You could but then again its a versatile word which people vaguely know the meaning behind. For instance I could say you are "trolling" for making this post. I could report people for making threads about champion balance because i see it as "trolling" . You cant have a word in place that is not even a word. Unless you are going fishing and these kids are legit trolling in that case good luck catching all the bass.
