Thank you everyone for the suggestions and posts, It took alot to post this and risked whatever reputation I have, but I felt like I needed to.

Reading that post made me miss Morfic so much. His short story was epic & funny although it might have been seen in bad taste by others.
So, lonestud, thank you for that.
@Griffin, I still respect your opinions & understand what you are trying to say.

But I guess Sam was the quality judge for it
exactly this mentality, sorry to say, even anyone of em return in disguise and try to experiment on few non-discovered things - "they'll get trolled/ or will be ignored" - I claim.
Cause peoples has loosen that mentality after posting several thousand threads and declarted themselves as "legend/godly/best" and developed huge "ego". That was only possible when everyone was new including the game itself.
I remember something -
anyone can be a great artist. That does not mean everyone has the capability but a great artist can come from anywhere.
I miss you every minute of every day, my friend. <3
Yeah.. I got smacked down pretty good for that one. (But deep down I believe Sam loved it. He just had to set an example with me... else I might have went on a troll-spree in the form of short stories)
Mysticaleagle just won this thread. Go ahead and close it, time to move on. This is my take on things:
The moderators on this forum are here for a reason. They will remove anything not appropriate, or take action against those who break ToS. If you feel someone is breaking ToS, it is your job to report them to make the moderators aware. Aside from that, this IS the internet. The internet is a cruel, sarcastic, and cynical place. The anonymity of the internet allows people to take on the role of any persona they wish, and say mostly whatever they would like to say, without fear of retaliation.
This will.. ALWAYS.. be the case. No matter how many threads are made, no matter how many people complain and whine, the internet will win this battle. Even if one of the biggest perps get banned or leave the game/forums, a new one will join. Sarcasm and "trolling" is a product of anonymity and it is here to stay, in one form or another. The best course of action to battle this, is to practice what you preach. Exude this type of attitude at all times. Slowly, you will gain followers/friends with the same outlook, and possibly one day your clique will grow large enough and spread far enough, so that the "trollers" are a slim minority that are outcast from every form of the game and forums and they may want to change their ways. (This is never going to happen mind you).
Arguing and debating is ingrained into each of us. Every single person in the world loves a good debate in a subject they are knowledgeable about. Some people just love to debate. Some people just love to argue. Some people just like to stir the pot. But either way, much of what people call trolling, is people doing one of the aforementioned things. Debating, arguing, or stirring the pot. To cause controversy is numero uno to these people. The ONLY way to fight this war, is to ignore them. The only satisfaction gained from trolling, is the reaction. If there is no reaction, there is no satisfaction.
So to conclude. To end trolling/being rude - Stop reacting to it. Do not reply, do not mention it in any way.
So to conclude again, and to repeat the words of a very wise person, "Welcome to the internet."
Let's make it SPARKLE!

I feel like this is exactly what griff is leaving for :'(

The truth of the matter is this:
Until developers take a firm stance against all trolls AS WELL AS those who cause the trolling to initiate (by irking people, spamming the forums, etc), it will not cease.
Those of you know who I am talking about know how you are and also know that I have personally tried. There is only so much you can do.
In short, nice speech, but wrong environment. The people you are talking to are bored players. If you don't believe me, take a look at the AL section. It is much more constructive than the PL side.
I hope you decide to stick around.
Cheers,
~Apollo
This stems from boredom. The forums is already in the troll mentality (I get caught in it as well at times, not going to lie.)
Gf tho :/ sad to see u go griffin

Sadly, this is true.Him and his friend gonna troll it till they get there point across
Nice thread bro!
We have too many Laquints.
If people are bored with the STS games or the forums why play anymore. Why take joy in people's grief; it just makes you a sadist; do you want someone to call you that? This is like bullying all over again. I haven't been on forums lately due to extensive endgame training but everyone else who posts daily are mostly bystanders in these unnecessary disputes. Just "burning" someone on forums doesn't give you a brownie point or give you a greater reputation. In fact, it just lowers other's respect towards you. The Developers have enough stuff on their plates;how about we act a little more mature in the way we post things on the forums.
There shouldn't be any locked threads due to the violation(s) of the rules in the first place. And forumers (not pointing out specific people for that would be an act of trolling too) who count the number of locked threads and compete with others should be greatly ashamed and embarrassed because the greater the number of locked threads, the lower your reputation stands.
We all are 99% the same and of the same species so how about we try to come to a consensus about trolling: think before you troll.
Thank you for your time to read this post, and although I don't know you GriffinFan, I hope you the best of luck in this achievable goal and in your future affairs.
I like after that soliloquy, your signature just trolled me. -.- ^^

Haha.
But on-topic. The forums will always be a hangout for trollers and people who are just bored with nothing else to do. Take me for eg. Most of the time on weekends, you'll find my name on the latest posts of the AL Forums. The only way imo to stop trolls? Become one. <-- Joke, hope you have a sense of humor
As I was saying, the only way to stop trolls is to deal with it, you can't stop trolls. On every forum in the Internet there will be trolls.
My $.02 on the matter which can be taken with a pinch of salt.

This thread is so entertaining and long...i only agree with morfic EVEN THO he used hi vocabulary and i had to stop every few sentences to search what a word meant lol
What in the world are you guys talking about? Trolling as always been around since the beggining of time. I think you people seem to notice it more because their is a lack of things to talk about in the forums. Their is a lack of updates and content to converse about. Their is a lack of pvp topics because the subject now consist of " op forgotten bows, op end game". Therefore people trolling seems to stick out more. Since their is a lack of content, we tend to feed into the trolling. In the past, these trolling threads would be buried by other hot topics.
At the end of the day, is trolling reallly to blame? What else would you rather talk about in the PL forum? Butterflies, horseshoes, rainbows, ballons? There is not much else. Therefore unless we as a community can come up with more constructive post to bury these trolls(which is impossible due to lack of content) this is all we have left.
Just call us the forgotten children of STS. All we can do is sit back and wait for sts to make a announcement of some sort regarding this game.
United we stand, apart we fall. Remember that
Cough cough.
This thread is making me feel depressed.
Throughout that guy is sounding like an old man repeating the phrase "Thou shall not be mean".
Really? Just get on with it.. The forums would be most boring if there wern't people trolling and pissing bout'. In fact making people fustrated over some words is well.. Most enjoyable. Learn to ignore trolls, there are numerous guides and people to contact if the internets making you sad.
