We now have the power to deal with mainpage comments. Use this thread to report spam, flaming, trolling, baiting, and other such undesirable actions exercised in quote comments.
Please note the aforementioned offenses do not apply to comments that actually fulfill the purpose of commenting on FSTDT quotes. I'll trust you to use good judgment on what does and does not qualify as I really do not want to have to define something that people have thus far been able to accurately pinpoint for themselves.

www.fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=60976The 6th comment is trolling/baiting. This is not the first time this troll has been here. Search his user name to view his past comments, if you don't believe me. I'm pretty sure he has used more than one name too. It's been investigated, and evil mod action has been taken. Now he's a racist cowboy who's into showtunes! Always remember, at his basest level, Distind really is a total prick. And he will take remarkably childish vengence on you for annoying him.

I hereby table the motion for FSTDTers to finance and provide a very large and hyperactively decorated cake for the honorable Distind due to his creative and hilarious actions herewith. All for? *counts votes* All against? *stares at the lack of votes* Done.
Now back to your regularly scheduled jackass reporting.

Lol - he commented again:
#931874 The (Real) American Cowboy
WTH? That isn't the song I posted. Someone on this forum is tampering with my posts. The original song was called "That's What It Means To Be White."
Excellent.
Is it ok if I provoke him more lol?

Wow..... WOW.... Distind.... *Drops Cane and falls to his knees*.. You sir a malevolent genius! I will make sure that 2,000 years from now people know about your epic e-journeys. Your teachings will forever be digitally etched in cyberspace! All Hail Distind!
''On the 30th Dayeth, a disgruntled crowd gathered in attempting to address the issue of the bible-thumping, nascar-loving and guitar slinging arrogant racist plaguing the community. And so Distind spoke up: My Children, our prophet before us instructed us not to resist an evil person, but simply turn the other cheek. I sayeth Nay! One must stoopeth lower than his nemesis in order to pull the proverbial rug from underneatheth him.''
Okay so im paraphrasing and this is a draft and my English isn't top shape... But I am working on it and I'll be able to translate it in two other languages! Muaha!

Thanks M.M. I'll get on it. If I get Distind's permission, I may even use the same method. Goodness knows what is amusing is worth a second go around. ^-^
EDIT: Actually, I think the people in the second link you provided are doing a pretty good job of handling the situation themselves, and while the other comments are indeed racist and bigoted, I wouldn't necessarily call it overly trollish. Heck, I've seen similar comments to the one he made in the third link made about Christians, Creationists, Republicans, and others by standard commenters and members of the site. Generally speaking, these people (correct me if I'm wrong) have not and likely would not be reported as trolls, which means that calling those posts troll posts is a matter of differing perspective rather than objectionable behavior. I'm not going to bring down the hammer on a member of one extreme without similarly doing it for the other. That would make me just as much of a bigot, which is something I'm not interested in being.
I will say this, though. The comment he made in your first provided link reads as adequate fodder for submissions if you'd like to submit it. I've seen more than one example of someone submitting a quote from someone from the site, both on the forums and in the comments, and it's a good tool to use.
Now, if it can be pointed out to me that the definition of troll I'm using is inadequate, I will be more than willing to reconsider my position here.

I'm not entirely sure that it should go here, but I don't think I should make a thread about it, either, so, here it goes, unless you want me to move it... *shrug* Often when I'm voting through Pub Admin, I notice a quote already has a comment. This is an example, if you look at the time that Tom S. Fox comments compared to the next person... It seems to always be him, too, though MozMode did it once too, I think. Anyway, I don't think there's anything against this. But it really bugs me. I guess it feels like he's 'cheating' to get 'first post' or something. And I'm not sure anything even can be done... But I also felt the mods should know? ...well, and Oriet told me to mention it here.
