I see quite a few people posting angry comments in threads they consider to be worthless trolls, aka shitpots. Instead of commenting there and bumping these threads to the top of the forum, how about staying out and letting them sink to oblivion?


Update, Oct 30: A good way to avoid the temptation to comment on shitposts is to hide them instead. Thanks Praxa for noting that ESGST has this option. Here's how to do it:

  1. If you don't have ESGST script installed, get it here
  2. After installation, click the ESGST button at the top of the page to open the script settings
  3. Scroll to Discussions (section #4) and enable both "Discussion Filters" and "Enable the option to hide discussions"
  4. When you see a discussion that you don't want to waste your time on, click the Eye icon to hide it. You can always unhide it from the Hidden Discussions management panel (open the script settings and click this button)

But responding to trolls is a lot of fun. It's ten times more interesting than gaming threads, or, heaven forbid, giveaway threads, or SG related threads, which are the worst.

I could be wrong, but it didn't seem like those angry comments were from people who were having fun...

Telling people on the internet they're wrong is a favourite pastime of a lot of people. :)

That's always fun! Although it got a bit too much at the GOG forum. Hopefully here it won't clog the sewers.

bump for relevancy and me spending less than 5 minutes on the forums before remembering why I've been hiding from them for months

here's another idea for stupid trolls: don't post in threads you dislike. ❤️️

and an idea for support: deal with them before drama escalates.

I laughed so hard I coughed from just the title, so have a bump.

Not that it's hard, thanks to my crappy sinuses, but hey, it's something.
