Moderation is important. Turn on the news and see how many kids are killing themselves because of bullying, or "cyber-bullying" specifically. It's serious stuff and the devs need to treat it as such, both in-game and on the forum. The adults here need to remember that a lot of players are children. This is a small enough community that moderation is very feasible, so there's really no excuse not to keep things relatively civil. It's usually clear when something is good-natured ribbing as opposed to plain harassment. The latter needs to be taken seriously, and in some cases, laws require us to take it seriously, regardless of how amusing some of us find "trolling" to be.

Fixed that for ya, nanny. In the context of posts made to an anonymous internet forum, suicide is invariably an unforeseeable event (or as the ATL commentariat would say: CHECK YOU BROKEN CHAIN OF CAUSATION!) caused solely because of the mental disease or defect of the sniveling piece of shit that did everyone a favor by removing him or herself from the gene pool.

This is not to say, of course, that the internet cannot become a tool for the sort of harassment of which you speak (though 99.99% of the time, suicides still have nobody to blame but themselves). But it requires an IRL nexus amongst its participants for that to happen, something that tends to be missing in here in VO.

HTFH.

Sometimes you just have to ignore the trolls. Not every one is going to like every idea you have, but if it is a good idea, and you can explain it, then you can survive the trolls.

Take for example this shot from lector:
http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/23900#297512

...Where he he called me an idiot for preferring to make more credits per trip than him. Sometimes trolls shoot themselves in the foot, and lector does tend to make himself a target alot.

Then again, if your idea is just plain stupid, then thank your lucky stars for trolls like lector.

And just because you are a total newb at combat doesn't mean you are the only one the trolls shoot at. Get good at combat and odds are someone will still be more than willing to blast you.

It does pain me that we have such low quality trolls. for example, lector's trolls often have merit, but in a misguided attempt to emphasis his point, he applies poor language, which just makes him look as idiotic as peytros, effectively diluting his primary points.

And finally, saying that some troll is responsible for your posting tendencies is in itself a troll. you trolled. you are now a troll. welcome to the vo forum.

Actually, I called you an idiot for (i) proposing the current system as a "change" and (ii) not taking into account the purchase cost of the goods when determining potential per cu/profit.

Not that you're bright enough to have figured out the issue there.

Yeah, but DoRis you fail to realise, that I realise I was trolled by answering this post, and that this is the most unmoderated forum I know of that is not private!

So yeah, fuck off.
