tbh trolls who aren't doxing anyone or doing anything illegal should be allowed to indulge in their own nature freely
there is no reason to ban them when their motive is to just playfully tease and annoy people with intentional stupidity, that goes beyond gotoquiz's state for them to say anything without it being entirely slanderous (unless gtq was a private website which it is, from what I'm assuming, using another domain or tool to exist) -
"trolls who aren't doxing anyone"
>trolls
You just openly called them trolls, implying that they aren't just regular users being jerks or morons. So, no. We should not let them free on the account that well it's not illegal. Is spamming illegal? No, but it's annoying and not allowed under forum rules. Furthermore, the "doubles" that some users have do cause harm. Not ALL. But some have, and it's tiring marking dozens of posts and watching the account pop back up a few days later faking being friendly before undergoing dips--- status all over again. -
If someone wants to playfully tease, they should do it on their main account and stop hiding behind toss-away accounts that were only made for harm. No point in letting those accounts stand if all they're meant for is "harmful teasing" or "cheerful stupidity."
-
But GTQ doesn't list any rule that says we aren't supposed to make more than one accounts?
-
Actually, if you try making another account, sometimes it won't let you. And when it doesn't, a notice pops up saying that you can only have one account.
-
I never said people shouldn't make second accounts. I said second accounts that were made ONLY to troll or harass shouldn't be allowed. Do you know how many trolls dedicate their time to cheat the system in order to make dozens of second accounts every few days? It doesn't matter if they start a "conversation" with someone once and then "happen to troll" the next day. There's no reason these accounts need to exist, let alone be allowed to stay around and continue to do harm.
It is true that you're only supposed to have one account, I'm guilty of owning several. In the forum rules it doesn't say you may not own more than one account, but when you try to make more than one per 24 hours, it does say you should only own one account. I can pull up that notification if you need proof.
There is a way to be safe with fake accounts like that. For example.. I don't use mine to attack others. And since this thread was meant to talk about doubles causing mayhem.. My "doubles" that I have for users like Connor are friendly, and I've only used them when he feels comfortable. So maybe others that own those accounts should consider doing the same. Otherwise the funny idea of a double goes out of hand, becomes an annoyance, and can actually end up confusing other users or doing harm. There's a fine line between good fun and straight up trolling. If someone tells you to stop, if you were just doing any amount of "lolz trolling," you would stop out of respect. So I have no inclination to give mercy to the accounts who have been asked to stop and did not stop. If any user doesn't feel safe with a troll we should be able to terminate it without having to delete every post to the bitter beginning to get the account gone. Double or not. -
Nah, i need no proof. I believe you two.
If a double or troll or a normal user annoys me, and I complain (or rant or whatever) about, you mods will decide the further action.
But
if someone annoys me and I don't feel annoyed and I just play along, will they still be punished? -
I guess if they don't annoy you, there's nothing to be done. But if they're annoying, provoking, or harassing anyone else I refuse to let them slide. Especially if you instigate the "playing along" as some users do with the fake suicide user or the other small trolls.

It means i'll be banned? :o sounds fun. :P
-
..Where did you get that idea?
-
lol idk
-
The trolls are you?
-
What the fish?
No. -
That's what it sounds like to me too.
-
That all the trolls are me?
Well, then screw you. I don't get time to start a long conversation in GTQ, how the f--- will I be able to waste my time annoying people?
