How to give the community itself a boost?

[Ness]

I wouldn't kill someone for attacking me 2 hours ago and tell him he should've known why I killed him. Of course I'll let them know whey they're being killed. But at the moment it's irrelevant. I just posted to make sure that bullshit would not be thrown without consequence.

There's a thin line between what's inside of the box and outside of it. Some individuals have the intentions of purposely cross this line, consciously or not; I cannot tell. Inside of the box I do not only mean trolling, nor only death matching. There are several individuals who jeopardize their general future within this community by repeatedly doing the same mistakes as before.

I took you in the example, Ness, because of Kojak's reply. There were nothing against none of you or Flaken, but it was although a great example of what I meant. Some individuals mythically end up in the unban requests, but they somehow managed to get themselves unbanned after having one friendly attitude in their topic. I'm not blaming you for neither trolling or death matching, as I have no whatsoever reason to blame you for it, but you both has been banned/tempbanned plenty of times and was one exceptional example for my slight harmless reply.

Que, I have left this thread open against my better judgement but it's going nowhere but downhill. If you want it to remain unlocked you should get it back on track in a positive way.

So, how to give the community itself a boost?

Give me CL rights, I'll fix everything.

Alright, I'll try.

Why is it that every good thread in Argonath gets derailed with pathetic off topic fights or trolling?

Speaking off trolling, that is a massive issue, trolls. At least, the ones who do it badly, if they can do it creatively it can provide a great area of comedy, but things like 'umad bro' just show the lack of any form of intelligence and the need to use such basic statements in an attempt to piss people off.

[Ratko Gavrilovic]

Yeah seems that every single person is trying to become a troll.

You should try it.

This is just about how everyone should think about trolls (only those who can you can count as a troll)

Speaking of "trolling", some people seem to not know what it actually is, blindly accusing of "trolling" any reply that they do not agree with.

Just replying "u mad?" or alike, replying with an image depicting someone's reaction to the post/topic, posting something off-topic, or ">implying" (or even just quoting posts by using '>' in front of the quoted text) is not "trolling". It can be used by "trolls" (as well as by non-"trolling" users); but by itself it's not "trolling".

A simple definition of trolling would be making someone reply only to make him "rage" at the "troll" post. But then again, not every post making someone "rage" is "trolling". The target reaction doesn't even have to be "rage", can be disappointment or whatever else.

A community is a system. It has subsystems within the system(in this case the groups of Argonath can be seen as subsystems)

Unless the subsystems work well, the community will degrade. Basically, if the community has to get it's boost, the subsystems should work towards it. As Adam Smith said, the subsystems should do what is best for them and for the community as a whole.

How can this be done?

The way I see it, the members have to feel it themselves. There is no other way really. No amount of rules or prohibitions will help.

If there is a problem in Argonath in relation to trolling, that is how any joke or any non-angel humor attempt is immediately labeled as trolling.

Indeed.

[Que]

If there is a problem in Argonath in relation to trolling, that is how any joke or any non-angel humor attempt is immediately labeled as trolling.

It is labeled as trolling just because of the history of that 'kind of joking' in the late past was known as trolling. I'm although agreeing with you to the fullest, but yet again, you say 'trolling' to this due to the previous past. Then there are some nutshells who accuses everyone for trolling, I'm not standing by them.
