Even sites like 4chan handle it better. At least moderations arent applied selectively over there. Every poster is treated equal. That is quite a large step up from this website.

GameFAQs already handled trolling better before the rule "relaxation" which was just an excuse for mods to be lazier and use more "discretion" when modding.

It's not a coincidence the boards became overrun with constant bullshit trolling after they relaxed the rules on trolling to the extent they originally intended to remove it entirely as a reason for moderation.

I just use my ignore list.

If some loser wants to waste their life pissing other people off, they're free to do so. I don't have to be bothered with it.

Making GameFAQs a pay site would be a hilariously terrible idea that would kill the boards.

Though I suppose killing the boards would be one way to stop trolling once and for all.

99% of "trolling" on here is "waahhhh i dont like you, stop posting"

you can't help these people. since they lack the will power to ignore topics on top of lacking the ability to use the ignore FEATURE.

A fair chunk of it is targetted harassment and topic derailments

Ya'll really need to learn how to ignore people. I don't mean your ignore list, I mean stop giving the trolling the desired attention.

That's why TC said actual trolls.

Also posting usermaps would help immensely.

Ignore when people say that the title length is not important, that a title should just convey what the game is about. They're just jealous theirs isn't as long

Offer people who are easily offended an opt out button where their account and usermap is locked for 24 hours. That way they can sob and cry for a day and get over it without having to worry about the unkind people on the internet.
