Who would be interested in a moderated troll free forum?

Off again on again PL
So who would be interested in a lightly moderated troll free forum? I know some people like the troll and I will admit some of them can be pretty funny at times. But lately this forum has pretty much become a private chat for SJG/Icey/CC.
If you would be interested in a moderated forum post up and say so here...

You forgot about Nicole1994. It seems like slightly over half of the discussion traffic here is from those four users.
Founder inadvertently killed the VIP when he changed the system up. He was trying to streamline it but a single forum, with a checkbox VIP-Only filter, and having all posts default to the general forum so you specifically have to remember to check VIP, is clunky and cumbersome compared to having two separate tabs in your browser, one for each forum.

I’ve thought about creating troll accounts and having fun on there, just to test the extent SJG feels about no moderation. But I haven’t.
Nowadays even SJG doesn't bother me anymore, as weird as that sounds. Maybe since he's lightened up on the whole 'buying dances is a chumps game' stuff. I mean he still says it, just not with the same frequency. Or maybe it's because Iceyloco came around and showed what a REAL troll looks like. Someone with way too much time on their hands that doesn't know how to have a civil conversation with anyone besides folks who agree with him.
Heck I don't even mind Nicole much anymore. She used to annoy me to no end with her millions of random threads. Now I just roll with it. I do miss that separate VIP board though. That, combined with ignore was perfect to do some no nonsense reading of topics with no abundance of scrolling necessary.
It just limits the trolls to those with whom the moderator(s) agree or sympathize.

...which has just been displayed right now. Nicole, SJG, And Icey are on ignore right now I’m sure and thus unable to post on this thread. But tittyfag is not (who, let’s face it, is an account that is also more interested in spamming and insulting and not about strip clubs)
Smash that like button!
Ooh looky here. A snarky remark made because I had a go at a troll alias account. One I’m sure that would not have been made if the jabs were directed at the trolls that also happen to annoy CMI. (Icey, Nicole, SJG)
Exhibit B of moderation =/= ridding trolls.
@founder What kind of changes? :o
@txtittyfag Yes, your eloquent statement of “I did realize mz #RETARD wuz a #RETARD” has me in awe of your master debate skills.
Exhibit C
Feel free to study my post history and you'll see that I'm consistent on this.
Also FYI there are other TUSCL members I don't like or don't agree with but you'll notice I don't troll them because they aren't trolls.
It's really simple with me: don't troll me if you don't want me to troll you back. Unfortunately my list of dumbasses, which includes you, doesn't realize this.
LMAO even now you've blocked me and yet you still troll me... LMAO!!!
With txtittyfag, 100% of his posting habits are dedicated to insulting people. I don't think I've yet to see an on-topic post from txtittyfag and amazingly, he has yet to be designated as a troll by "TrollWarnBot," despite perhaps being the most obvious and clear case of a troll profile on this site. With SirLDK, probably 90% or so of his posts insult people. I think the reason he doesn't bother you guys as much is because he doesn't post as frequently and insults a lot of the people you guys don't like. But imagine if he had the same posting habits but posted as frequently as Icey or SJG does?

@PaulDrake If you’re implying a TUSCL area excluding certain members and you as the mod leader, I think I’d be okay with personally posting a couple of things in there and obeying whatever standard you think fits. I think the case is building, however, how much work would be ahead of you though (better you than me)
You really can't avoid having some level of bias in your decisions. Its impossible, even historians and political scientists with PhDs can't avoid having bias in their reporting of things.
I was just seriously wondering why a short, single sentence snarky comment about you and txtittyfag's back and forth provoked such a response from you.
Back to the topic, once again I agree that a moderated forum wouldn't be troll free. But at least some basic rules would be a good start IMO.
For the better.
It was a snarky comment but broadly so, and not actually directed at either you or txtittyfag with any particular venom. Just a jab at the two of you having a public spat.
I'm agnostic on both you and txtittyfag. Txtittyfag and I have had our conflicts, but that's worn out now. We mostly don't interact. You provide actual insight from a dancer's perspective (which I often appreciate). Aside from that, we all seem to stay out of each other's way. Which is fine.
Historically, if I go after someone, it's pretty direct and there's not a lot of minced words. But if you've got a lot invested in being offended by my one remark, then I guess that's where we stand.
And that's fine, too.
I mean, really ... we're all just typing.
errr... I guess that's not exactly true. You both stay out of my way and I do the same for you (until this thread...I guess).
I have nothing invested in the ongoing feud between the two of you.
...I’ve had a lot of alcohol tonight :(
