So if you see a troll, flag a troll - or shoot one of us a link. It makes our jobs as mods easier :)

I have, actually. Heard of Buck Fou Yiden?

Unfortunately.

Well, I was strolling through imgflip peacefully when that guy comes along. We get into an argument and know for some reason comments are disabled. The idiot blames me even though I didn't and uses it against me in some other meme to think he has something over me when I NEVER disabled comments in the first place.

Typical imgflip right bad faith.

Wait, could there be a possibility that he flagged my meme TO disable comments? Or is that not allowed?

I don't think so, I wouldn't put it past a community mod though.

The one who pretends to be Canadian, yet is so invested in American politics that their username is an attack against the new president? They also claim to be from the Cree tribe--while slandering all Native people & sometimes targeting me for being a genuine First Nation member.

Yup, that idiot.

What if the troll is on our side?

And also, where's a list of the mods so I can send links?

Current list of PoliticsTOO mods.

I would prefer to see minimal or no trolling at all on PoliticsTOO. This stream aims to be different from the main “politics” stream and its endless insults and drama. That’s why I recommend PoliticsTOO memers flag and report trolls rather than engaging with the trolls and feeding them. They’re looking to provoke. Don’t give them that satisfaction. Let them get their kicks on the main politics stream if the mods there allow it.

If a comments section gets really bad, to the point that it is taking too much time for us to mod, then we can and will disable comments in an effort to break up the fight.

We will take the side so to speak of our regular memers who contribute content and help build PoliticsTOO genuinely, over a random troll who blows in from politics. But only up to a point.

Worth noting as well that civil, respectful commentary of any point of view is allowed on PoliticsTOO. If people are disagreeing but being respectful, I’m inclined to let it continue.

I just noticed, this stream is almost at 500 followers

Sure, if it wasn't done all the time over in politics by many who frequent politicsTOO.

While I'm far from liberal on fiscal issues, I'm definitely not a conservative (particularly on social issues) so I really have no dog in the fight, per se.

From what I can see, both sides troll the hell out of each other. What I find amusing is the pretense from either side that they're somehow above such behavior, when there's an abundance of evidence to the contrary.

Reminds me of the many times a politician gets caught having an affair, or influence peddling, etc., and whichever side they're *not* on starts screaming bloody hell about how it's typical of the other side. All you have to do is wait a short period of time for a politician on the other side to get caught doing the same thing.

It's sort of like the ticking of the clock on the wall...
