I've seen new users banned after flaming but how can you guys tell if they were alts or not?

Also noticed a very harsh moderation for using the word "trolling" and I'm wondering if it can actually be used in any context

i know you can't call someone a troll even if they are but i too wonder about saying "stop trolling" and the likes.

Telling someone to stop trolling is just as bad. Infact in some cases it might even be worse.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

No, I'm just saying that in general calling a user a troll, suggesting they're trolling or something of that ilk will likely get you moderated.

So if you want to maintain your ban-free run this year, then don't do anything like that.

I stand by the opinion that moderating people who get baited by trolls is poor moderating.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
