so he tries to track my ip and then disappears. very interesting indeed. there is a lesson to be learnt there folks.
The lesson that needs to be learnt by people in this thread is to tone down the level and amount of trolling they are pumping out. It is increasingly consuming this community to the point where I'm sure potential contributors don't feel like taking part because of how dull and insipid more and more of the posts are becoming.
Is there a place for making jokes at another team's expense? Of course there is. But there's a line and there are some on here who have flaunted with it dangerously so over recent weeks.
As a mod I don't want to, broadly speaking, say how a community should act. The community themselves should determine this. Taking my mod hat off for a second, as a member of this community many of you know I'm tired of the excessive trolling that takes place but I'm not going to moderate to my personal beliefs. The majority of the community has seemingly actively encouraged the levels of trolling and joke making at anothers expense over the past couple of years.
That's why I think if the community is tired of this kind of behaviour then collectively we have to tone down the level and amount of *quote* funny *unquote* remarks we make gradually.
If that's a direction you guys and gals agree upon then I'd suggest beginning it soon. A lot of the stuff that gets a pass in this thread is likely not going to fly in the World Cup thread.
