There are too many trolls

Everyone has a strong opinion. They aren't going to change this just because of data or argument, because to do that would be giving up their world view. Thus rational argument is treated as personal attack, things get emotional, and the only posts that then get responded to are the troll ones.

The solution is 'Nazi' moderation. Zero tolerance, all trolling or personal attacks or off-topic posts receive short bans without warning. It works on the pro video game site Team Liquid, which manages constructive discussion despite a high user count.

You should check out my thread derailment in http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=151238&page=1   I didn't expect it to get that bad and I am now trying to contain myself to the Official Nintendo News thread.  I don't try to derail threads but sometimes it just happens.  I've been trying to focus on staying on topic.  However, if it isn't too far off topic then I see no harm if a decent conversation is taking place.
