Trolling is at the root of the predictor copying issue though, is it not? I do know that was Ducks motive behind his copying of mine, when he did it, because he knew it bothered me, and, to an extent, Byron at points as well, I'm sure. The predictor itself is fine as it is and has worked since it's inception. That's not the problem. I firmly believe it's folks trolling others that is real problem. has never complained about being trolled. He has complained about having his predictions copied. Two completely different things. |

It'd be hypocritical of me to complain about being trolled lol.

Not really if the motive behind the prediction copying is to troll, as we've established it is on more than a few occasions. When you deal with the root of any problem, any subsequential problems thereof tend to dissipate, if not eliminate them completely. That's just basic math and problem management. |

first sandmen was right I was just bustin snakes balls because he told us to predict so I copied that message and his prediction for joke second I agree with xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club we have a troll problem here but most of it is actually him first trolling me over my predictions then him trolling cannon about his taste in women fighters and his spelling and grammer which snakes does too, but also phx is trolling me accusing me of copying predictions to troll. where will it end phx???

Wikipedia In Internet slang, a troll (/troʊl, trɒl/) is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive,  extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses  and normalizing tangential discussion,  whether for the troll's amusement or a specific gain. this fits what cannon does for sure, but it also fits what phx does when he is making accusations all the time that everyone doesn't know mma as well as him or that sandmen rigs the rankings or the sim, or the champions or whatever else. look at prediction thread right here. xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club started the whole thing with inflammatory comment that I am allowed to get away with things other people are not. this is a message that is "digressive" and clearly meant to "upset people on the internet and sow discord". textbook trolling whether he knows it or not. |

Dude I've been relatively quiet for at least 2 months on the site here; at least since the start of the season, and I haven't said shit all to you for WAY longer than that, on the boards, via PM or anything. Then you go and tag me in your crap here like you're all high and mighty? If you weren't copying anyone's predictors, like ALL the time, season after season, we wouldn't even be having this discussion at all man. I don't set out to upset people like Cannon does constantly. Anytime I voice a concern I have with anything, it's just automatically construed as me trolling and met with ridicule and rhetoric even if I'm calm as can be and just having a simple discussion. Just because I don't agree with someone or something that's going on, voice a concern, or offer an opinion or observation on anything, doesn't mean I'm trolling anyone or trying to provoke or antagonize anyone. If folks get upset over stuff that, that's within their control, as it is with me get upset about something too. It's why I ignore Cannon most of the time these days cuz most of the time it's just gibberish, especially when he's just trolling for any response. |

Case in point of being met with rhetoric & ridicule for not doing anything but speaking my mind. Not to mention another case of senior staff on this site condoning and actively participating in trolling, perpetuating a situation instead of trying to defuse it or even trying to have intelligent conversation or discussion.

We asked you for a solution, you blamed Byron. He told you blaming him for nothing was trolling, you claimed to be a victim. So if you want intelligent discourse, participate. You keep saying, "Solve this problem" but offer no solutions. Since no one agrees on who is trolling who (or if it even matters ffs), what do you propose as a solution? Ban trolls? So I ban Byron for trolling Rattlesnakes (who had no problem with it), ban Rattlesnakes and Cannon for trolling each other, then ban you for trolling Byron, then ban me because you allege I troll you? So basically The Killing Joke and xx - The King's Poison sit here alone and eat peanuts? These are real questions, so feel free to answer them and mostly: offer specific suggestions for fixes to the issue you think exists. |

Why is everyone always bitching. Who cares if someone trolls you on the internet. It's the internet. Grow a pair or leave. Feelings don't matter here.
