I agree with Fallen Angel. Tired of ignoring idiots bumping useless threads to talk more shit no one cares about.

Alternatively, create a forum with prereqs (<20% boot rate, at least 100 games played, etc.). That way trolls won't be able to do much unless they get better at the game, and the old fora would still remain as they are.

I think that it would be interesting option to create forum threads with prereq. You can read it, but you can't post in it, unless you meet the prereq. It could even use the same system as for creating games.

Other option would be to enable posting/creating new threads depending on your lvl (it's not a best filter, but it is a good compromise).
For example posting would be unlocable on lvl 5 or so. and every couple of lvls you should be able to create new threads more often (like 10th lvl 1 per week, 20th lvl 1 per day, 30th, 40th, 2, 3 per day or so..)
Only "help" forum should be excluded from restrictions.

+ 1 Latnox.

I'm insulting about being on the same list as Harthacanute and Kellen, who have both talked about killing gays. :/

This is absurd. Most of my trolling, while sometimes disturbing, never seriously condones violence. Mine is meant to be for comedic purposes, and I don't actually hate or even dislike anyone who has ever argued with me on the forum. It's saddens me that I've been put on the same level of evil as someone who claimed the holocaust didn't happen.

TL

Look man, if you want to make poor attempts at humor, /r/funny is waiting for you. Please just stop screwing around on the forum where there's no mechanism to sort out bad content.

Posting to the forums is already an unlockable, unlocks at level 4

Thats too early.

Right, I've seen the problems and have put my solutions in place.

Most people are cowardly to not troll with their main accounts...

So... Up the unlockable level to be able to post on forums.

Also... I keep getting the feeling people want to design the forums to content their interesting in...

Only delete posts that are 100% obv to be trolly for e.g "gays should be killed" "blacks should be killed"...

But leave the posts where there is reason behind it... Sounds stupid but lets face it people are allowed to have an opinion if there is logical thinking.

My second solution, Let players rate each other reputation.

Out of 5 stars... If it has a continued rating of 1 star, the player should be banned.. Solves many problems...

So, I've once again saved the game! I will go and have Mcdonalds and be proud of what I did...

#RespectMyOpinion, Trolls should wear special dunce hats beside their names, I really believe this.

Its like inventing a bike 2000 years later and someone comes up with HEUEREKA! - it only needs two wheels etc!

"Boot rate, rep rate, unlockables". All these have their faults. You can not mend a system with a fix while the fix itself has a workaround. Multiple accounts can be created in seconds, lottery games offer level 50 less than a day. And the rep system only offers Trolls more ways to fool around here, starting from blocking Mods and maybe even Fizzer from forum :)

I believe even Greeks and Romans understood that Forums need moderation! And so it has been any any other Forum in political terms or in WWW community. By blocking decent new players from asking questions, having day limit, level limit etc... is not a solution to problem but just creating fictive "nanny" system. If a Troll wants, as he does not have much to do with his time, he would even nolife the prerequsites just to get his first and last lolicon or hate speech uploaded.

My preferrable options

• Stronger Moderation
  
• Restricted Sections for Verified players
  
• Probation Time like the Help forum or introductions section so Trolls can have their corner as well current OffTopic
  
• Faster and cumulative Bans - Where moderator can ban a player from forums for X days (In premise that WL forum would have strickter rules). And cumulative in sense of multiple rule breaking!

So if one can´t pass the "Newbie" sections, at least General Forum, Map dev, Clan, Ladder would be clear from spam. If one passes and launches his Troll-fest - obvious ban without warning from moderation: no need to wait Fizzer approval.
If you really wan´t rate each other, go to Tinder or F***Book etc. And I really would like to see the chart of 100% Troll post, 99% troll post down to 0.1% and 0% of Troll post Guidebook for WL Forum moderation office. Every post that is worthless or in form of "+1, Upvote, I agree" and etc is simply a waste of space and insignificance in sense of discussion.
If you really want to help, start from reading beforehand Internet Etiquette and "How to use Forum" basics! As long as Forum (I mean this one) is someones social life board and mere personal opinions, which has no relevancy and can´t be eradicated from the discussion, no Unlockable or boot rate would do much good. If logic would be applied then problems are solved from root-source and not from outcome-outputs.
Rep system works best in form of StackExchange forums (more of asking questions and answers), but not simply in Discussion forums like WL is.

If images on this site bothered to load I could show you the duncecap image I am wearing now.

Thomas, you don't really need one. The symbol next to your name already tells us what to expect. :P

+1 that

That also works. Let mods delete posts.

This this and more this.

Unfortunately Fizz seems to have massive trust issues so I don't see it happening any time soon.

Can't see the point in a boot rate filter. It's not hard to make an alt and level it. As long as Adblock+ is off levelling is pretty fast.

I'm insulting about being on the same list as Harthacanute and Kellen

I've never seen you be anything but an ass hole on this forum. Your threads are pointless and are made to aggravate a certain side.

The fact that Kellen, Harthacanute and yourself haven't been Perma banned amazes me.

You don't even have to allow for mod deletion. The problem with a deletion is that you lose transparency. What you need is a trash bin forum that is not seen by anyone but admins/mods (call it whatever you want), where you can move individual posts to. Then they still exist in case admins want to review them. This is better for two reasons

1) you avoid an argument over what was actually said (if you delete/edit the content, the original is lost)

2) you allow an admin to take action on the content (it is still there for them to see)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FREEDOM FOR ALL-even the TROLLS!-We´re all humans...please-And why are you trolling
about trolls,btw?

Didn´t get it why he starts an anti-troll thread about trolls...

Not sure if latnox was sarcastic or satirical, but i agree?

I sure like it and appreciate it when someone says
" +1 Genghis "
Because that tells me " i appreciate what you did here today, and you should work to get even better or maintain the masterpiece accomplished hate today! "

What you need is a trash bin forum that is not seen by anyone but admins/mods (call it whatever you want), where you can move individual posts to.

That's what I was getting at with the "Troll/Spam" forum suggestion. It would also give trolls/etc. a place to congregate. It would also create a queue of content for admin review, as you pointed out.
