Surely it is CoC ?

I get that we all have various views and often have a heated debate etc but I have noticed a few members ( usually free accounts ) who are blatently ANTI-2A and whose only purpose in joining a SHOOTING /2A website is to troll.

Yet - nothing seems to get done about it ?

I am all for free speech.
Happy to debate with anyone.

But if a person who hates guns, joins a gun forum and baits its members, that is not free speech - that is deliberate trolling. And I do not see how it helps us or our website.

Blatant trolling is against the CoC as #6.

Attacking or insulting a member in an effort to elicit a negative response.
You have the right to disagree, but please do so in a respectful manner. This rule also includes posting disparaging remarks about a member's family.
View Quote


It does actually get enforced - but there are some very smooth talkers that try their best to do nothing but piss people off while dancing just on the side of being allowed. There's not much that a mod can do about that.

ETA: Arguably CoC #7 covers it too.

Posting topics or discussions that do the site or community harm.
More specifically creating topics and or replies meant to disrupt the Site's day to day management, disrupt member's resources, or the ability of the Site to function normally. This can include but is not limited to posting overly large photos or .gif files, excessive emoticons, or the use of repetitive or overly long text strings. It can also be the posting of threads or replies, in which it appears that the sole purpose is to provoke other members, or to damage the image and/or reputation of the site. [emphasis mine]

Nemomeimpunelacessit

He has a history of trolling.

His latest is that ATF agents are just doing their job in collecting solvent traps so if we get a visit, we should not be a dick about it.

And "gun laws make us safer".

There's a line, and it's easy not to cross it.  That goes for both the troll and the trolled.

Yup. I've seen far too many good posters get baited to cross the line and get banned as a result.

I think if you report anti gun trolling mods might remove them.   Politics vary but we are all supposed to at least be pro 2a on a gun forum.

Gone as in banned ?

Or just not returning ( having achieved what he set out to achieve ) to the thread ?

In my opinion, troll accounts should be shut down, IP banned, and all troll account info should be available for members to view. They should be subjected to the internet equivalent of a pillory.

Free speech isn't a term exclusive to the constitution. Private companies can support free speech, and the market can ridicule them for not supporting free speech.

I'm not directing this at you, OP, but a vast majority of the trolling reports are because someone said something they didn't agree with, which does not violate the CoC. If we catch blatant trolls, they get CoC'ed, but we aren't here to help members prove their point through the reporting system.

"Everyone in GD that doesn't agree with me is a Leftist Fed" is the gist behind many "trolling" reports.

If I owned the site, GD would be unavailable until an account was 3 years old and had 500 posts in the technical forums.

That would mean you (and the trolls you speak of) would still be in the technical forums.

But I don’t get to make the rules.
