[WinterRabbit]

No, I'm from the south eastern USA.

heeeeeee

Can someone point me to a thread where this someone is "trolling" WinterRabbit?
ETA: Okay, found it. Yeah, that was NOT trolling or even rude.

Which thread?

Sometimes we get cultural clashes when interacting with non-native speakers but putting someone on Ignore for a relatively benign post is not an auspicious sign. WR, you're new here, so it might help you to take a deep breath before assuming bad intent on someone else's part.

Yeah. I "was" assuming that Whiterabbit was the non-native speaker in this regard.

We derail as a point of honor and some of us can be very frank, which can be seen as rude if you're unused to this free-wheeling atmosphere.

Indeed.

I'm entitled to be a sensitive individual. I come from a place known for hospitality.

No, I'm from the south eastern USA.

Passive-aggressive FAKE Hospitality you mean. "Well bless your dear sensitive heart."

This is what trolling is, that last comment right there.

How is that trolling? TBH you do come off as a non-native speaker of English .. even to me who is guilty of being one.

What? How so. Your use of language was such that I was assuming that you were either a non-native speaker, or on the autistic-spectrum, or both. Well, since you're from the Southeast, that leaves my guess as you being on the autistic-spectrum, especially since you started a LARGE number of threads since you joined eight days ago. I'm on the spectrum myself, so I can spot the signs pretty easily.

Not trolling here either....now the "Well Bless your Dear Sensitive Heart"...now THAT was trolling you as a Southerner.

Oh yeah, land of the KKK.

I never knew that. ETA.. the KKK thing not that the whiterabbit thinks we are nasty little shits..

What did they expect starting a bunch of random threads with minimal titles and minimal start posts...CONTEXT, it's a thing.
Grid Bless the SLU/VVO Hivemind! We're Vipers!

 

[eku zhong]

I have to admit to some trolling but only because the trolling they thought was going on was not trolling at all.. TBH I thought they were a troll. Oh well. I had my fun, brief though it might have been.
On another note... I HAZ AN INSTAPOT.... (it arrived today)

 

[OrinB]

Yup, I was wondering when you all would jump on the bandwagon... it was eerily quiet yesterday when all this began.

 

[Yure4u Sosa]

i thought was a spam bot tho.

 

[eku zhong]

Yup, I was wondering when you all would jump on the bandwagon... it was eerily quiet yesterday when all this began.

I was too busy trying to decide whether to buy an instapot or not.. solly.
Also I am so envious of your hundred acre wood with all the berries and the Rudebarb...

What we need is a full block feature so no one we've blocked can read what we post

You couldn't really block them. They could just log in with a different account.

Somehow those people are still viewing my posts

Aside from the Community section, the forum is public and viewable by ANYONE. No account is even needed - and you can't block non-members from viewing your posts.

So if you were to block me from seeing your posts, all I have to do is log out and then I can see them. I don't even need a secret second account to do it.

So all things considered it would render your suggested feature pretty useless.

 

[Beebo Brink]

The one best predictor of whether someone fits in to the SLU/VVO forums has always -- and continues to be -- a good sense of humor. If you can't pick up on tongue-in-cheek, irreverent, and whimsical posts and give as good as you get, you're going to sink like a rock.

 

[Beebo Brink]

Also, about that person who sent WinterRabbit here, I'm guessing that conversation went something like this:

WR: I need to find another forum that is better moderated than this one.

Troll: Dude, I'm really sorry to see you leave us. But if you want a more moderated forum, I've got just the place for you. Try VVO, you'll love it. Trust me.

WR: Thank you, I will.

Troll: (dies laughing)

 

[EmpressOfCommunism]

I'm on the spectrum and I'm still trying to understand where they thought the trolling was? Things would have been 1000% worse had they done this on the official forums.
