Thanks, Galaki.
This really needs to be addressed. This site to really starting thinking about the balance between freedom of posting and driving away quality posters. The number of trolls, misinformation providers, inciters and just all around ass hats has made it very hard to have any reasonable level of conservation and discussion. Especially in the Nintendo section.
There is a difference in posting a new story for the sake of honest dialog that is negative in nature and posting negative news with the intent of angering other posters. I've seen several members that do absolutely nothing but bash Nintendo in any way they can and never, or rarely, ever post in any other boards.
Several months ago I started a "do not feed the trolls" campaign as a way to combat the problem but that was ineffective. You need more progressive actions now or else you risk irrevocably harming your forum by allowing an uninviting atmosphere that protects the troll and punishes the member that just wants to talk games.
