very good thread. I dont know if we should allow the calling people names like trolls none the less. Should just report them and move on. Think-man is right about what he said a few posts up. "But then you get users calling people trolls for legitimate posts, like when a certain user called me and seece a troll for saying that the WiiU wouldn't reach 10 million by the end of this year. That user may or may not be attached to my sig."
however this part especially i agree with
I like you guys, but sometimes I wonder if you realize what your job on these forums actually is. You are not here to enforce rules in the most pedantic way, you are here to create an environment where good discussion can take place. That means weeding out the trash, not setting things up in a fashion where the bad apples feel like the protected users and the good members feel like the ones who cannot say what the state of things is and get overwhelmed by an avalanche of stupidity and fanboyism. You are also not the police who is held to the law. You don't need to nail down a user with any sort of evidence to have the right to ban them for good; all you need is the common sense to figure that a user is awful and doesn't benefit the community in any way to get rid of them without explaining yourself any further; because if a user is that bad, the community won't object anyway; rather we will thank you that that user didn't amass over 1,000 posts before you finally gave them the boot.
