I can understand where it is a thankless job, but never the less it needs to be done. They are getting braver by the day, and they have become so emboldened that they are openly declaring their allegiances to cliques. Worse then then that they are actively derailing threads, and spamming. When a poster repeats the same thing in twenty threads its spamming.

Anyway they are so blatant now its not hard to pick them out. Go to where the fires are, and you will see them bantering back and forth. Most of them are behaving like rabid fanboys, and openly proclaiming they are such, or are working as a member of a group.

The best way to differentiate between an opinion and trolling is to just look at the volume of a post. Now if the poster is saying something unpopular, but is taking the time to formulate what they are saying you know that is a legitimate opinion. Now if it is unpopular and it took less then a minute to write, and that poster does the same in multiple posts. That is a troll hard at work. They do not care if they are expressing a view point. They are just trying to spread the net and cause havoc far and wide.

I doubt anyone will get seriously upset anyway. Give them a week off, and it will be Christmas which means they will be in a better mood when they come back, and since they will come wandering in one or two at a time it will be hell for them to get that groove back, and since its a week till the new year the sales will drop off, and thus their will be that much less to argue about. I think part of the reason that it is so bad now beyond the shift is, because they have nothing better to do or play as it were.

I know I am not playing much until Christmas when I expect to get a few new games. That has to be part of it, but no excuse to get their rocks off here by tormenting the community.
