Now, with my own experiences elsewhere on the net (Mostly on the IRC and FME forums I admin and mod), the trolling situation one expects from day to day, is pretty much manageable, as more often than not, there is one part of the forum, where it's a "no holds barred" solution pretty much is available, and here in the Politics section, I see just that, and I believe this is done, to stop a mountain of shit spreading elsewhere on the rest of the forum, spoiling it for all.
It's when the trolling starts to spread outside this perceived trolling zone, it then starts to be a problem, and trust me, I have seen loads of this on the FME forums I admin, and the result pretty much killing off the site.
It's not an ideal solution, but it is a realistic one, and as many forget, this is a massive adult based site, with many facility's, all at little, if not free cost to the end user, and for the amount of work rob_e puts in to this place, is mind blowing, and I pretty much appreciate all the efforts he puts in to the place, and with the assistance from the volunteer staff (mod and admin), and as accountium puts it, no one person is perfect, or gets everything 100% right 100% of the time, and is why there is a whole team to discuss issues as a group, to come up with a managed solution, to whatever issues may arise.
It's this "I expect everything free, and everything to operate my way only, without compromise" attitude I see from some users, that just plain pisses me off, and I would love to see some day, these ungreatful users removed from the site, for basically insulting the entire staff of this site.
