Seems like there has been a spike in all the trolling and name calling on this board lately. What's going on? Can we just get back to discussing the Spurs?

Definitely..it's like we're on a spam board or something...I know I don't have as many posts as some of the main people on this board, but shouldn't we have some sort of trial period or something? Is that possible?

They come and go in phases. It will pass, and then the next wave will hit. Ignore is a wonderful feature if they bother you.

I'll repeat what i've stated many times...I've still never met a real Lakers fan. The only thing worse is all the new Celtics "fans".

Whatever happened to that 'minimum 100 post requirement to start a topic' rule people wanted to implement? I think it'd be a marginally improved way to stop random trollers from registering multiple accounts and posting smack talk, not to mention stopping new people from posting too much, like that recent 15 year old.

A few of the biggest scoops in the history of SpursTalk were made by posters who usually lurk.
Plus, it's not like having a lot of posts automatically makes someone a good poster. There are horrible posters with hundreds of posts.
People who abuse the new thread button get dealt with individually ... like that 15-year-old you mentioned. And Sequ.

Then you'd just have people posting random things till they get to 100

Everything should be controlled in moderation. Trolling too much is not good for health.

The biggest lesson to learn is to not post in the trolls threads.
If you don't post in them, they fall off the front page in a very short period of time. If people post in them over and over and over, they stay at the top. It's pretty simple.

There we go, fixed....but I know what you were getting at Timvp. Nice to know though that our team is on the minds of some many Laker followers. Some are just fascinated with the relationship between the 2 teams and come out of respect (non-trolls), others feel the need to compensate for their own shortcomings and paranoi by trying to create mayhem and mutiny on the board (trolls). Oh well, just another chapter in the longstanding rivalry.

Props to you...many latched on to whomever they thought could fill Jordan's shoes. I always hated the idea of "Bull's fans" because many (outside of the Chicago area) disbanded once Michael retired. I never was a big Jordan fan myself for personal reasons, plus I just always liked rooting for the underdog (i.e. whoever matched up against the Bulls).

well, i liked jordan cause i had "small" ties to him.
my aunt was the choreographer of the luvabulls, so she hooked me up with a picture of him during the '92 finals against clyde; granted, i was only two years old..but still...:STFU! :lol
and my entire family is from the chicago area, so it was easy rooting for him for as long as i can remember.
but once he left, and duncan came..
well.
i wouldn't say im a bandwagon fan, but i just happened to cheer for two great teams at the right time.

Ok, I fucked up, I admit it. Sorry about that.

Even though im new here, this is kinda strange for a forum. How come someone like spork killer isnt banned yet? When he has such an insult "F*ck the spurs" in his signature??? This spurs forum should not tolerate that. Rivalry is a good thing, it keeps excitement in the sport, but such insults are highly inapropriate, especially since this is a spurs forum.
Also ive seen for every stupid little thing, a new thread is opened. the whole board is getting messy.

SpursTalk is a great place to hang out simply because it is the most "democratic" forum you can find on the internet. While the trolls can be irritating, they are also entertaining, if only as our punching bags...:lol
Mods, please don't ban the trolls.

Would someone be dumb enough to clone Spork Killer? No, I don't think "Spork Killer." (with the dot) is dumb. He is too clever for Spork Killer (without the dot) to match wit against.
Go for it "Spork Killer." :lol
Oh, and I agree with wijayas. In my opinion every decent forum must have a nice little set of resident trolls.
If nothing else it gives the mods a chance to ease their frustration on a bad day by kicking somebody off for a day or two (or permanently) ... :)

Really! It is that simple. I've wanted to jump in on some of the trolls threads but why bother. All it does is go on and on and on... They rarely make sense and the only reason they post is to rile us up. We're better than that. Leave 'um be. They will as Kori states just fall away in a short period of time.
