when is enough, enough? Enough of Warr. https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=539.msg5264#msg5264

While I realize the Internet emboldens those whose real lives are deprived and
gives them the courage to act however they want, knowing that there is no
recourse other than words and for these 'things' logic, truth, or sanity have no
sway, there is a reason moderators have some power to police their actions.
Without, you only invite more of the same and the community, if you care at all
for such a thing, deteriorates, then dies.

When such a child is allowed to act however she pleases, the rest of the children
will follow suit and chaos will erupt. Is it up to the adults to tolerate such bad
behavior, or to teach them that such behavior isn't suitable? Will spam and trolling,
and infinitely worse, libel and hate be suffered under the guise of liberty?

Worst is, things like her bottom feed and are nourished from filth that they inevitably
force from even the most stalwart.

As for the rest of you who do stay silent... know that not only are you complicit, but
you make true everything that he is: the racism, the homophobia, the misogyny. By
not speaking you're all silently nodding your head at every iteration of, "African American", "kike",
"lovely person", and "dyke".

Treat this as you will, but realize that you've already allowed your forums to be graffiti'd
with his spam and following broken window principles, shows how little you care when
nothing is done, nothing is fixed. Ban Warr. Reset her accounts. Cure the disease.

Community is not to blame here. Whether we stay silent or speak, does not really matter. Mega trolls like Warr don't care about that.

Only way to get rid of him is to thing to BAN him every time he comes back. And like Jellyfish said, we have no mods to do that.

Well said, though many of us aren't silent. It is true that some feed the troll. They give it attention and respond to its posts, and all that does is increase the drama. Those that keep silent, however, are not always the ones that simply nod and agree. Some of them report the posts as spam, or report them to the mods. Others will take such actions as PMing the mods directly with complaints, and so on.

There is only one adminitrative member on this forum, and that is Pilchard123. Many of us have suggested that he appoints more mods to take policing action against the trolls, since Warr was the first, but it definately won't be the last. It's just that Pilchard has been busy this week, and has been unable to log on recently and assess the situation. Hopefully, within the near future, better and more responsive actions will be taken to prevent e-Graffiti such as this again.
