Default Solution to the troll problem

Solution 1: Create a sub section of the C7 forum. Limited access to members with valid placed orders.

Solution 2: This should stop 90% of the complaining!

Solution 3: More kitten's in the C7 Forum!

not trying to set the rules ... forgive my encroachment if that was the way it was taken.

Just a couple half joking suggestions after reading a couple of today's threads and a couple glasses of scotch.

Besides - who doesn't like more kittens?

More kittens are fine . . . just try to remember you're still on Double Secret CF Probation until the Committee votes you in

Last month, I posted a thread suggesting a new forum rule to ignore trolls. That didn't work at all. It drew the trolls like flys to ****.

An issue with no end and, no solution. They are on every forum. Some I personally believe work for the owners. They are paid to stir up controversy.

Solution to Troll Problem? Its normally a forum moderator. I have noticed the ones on this forum are more lenient than other forums.

I always thought the best solution to the troll problem was to stop responding to them.

But for some reason trolls are like irresistible catnip to some people -- they feel an uncontrollable urge to respond every time some idiot posts an obviously troll-like comment.

If all the C7 fans here would simply IGNORE posts made by trolls, then the forums would not be filled with idiotic posts, and threads would not continue to be taken off-topic by these morons.

Great idea.

Then when the C7 Z06 comes out, there should be yet another sub forum of the C7 sub forum to keep the base C7 trolls out of the C7 Z06 sub forum???

Here's a better solution to the trolls in the C7 forum.

Simply buy a C7.



The minute a new C7 pulls up beside their old C6. They will shut up.

Trust me on this.
