Troll hunting in FWR

Morning, everyone. Thanks for your comments on this.

We understand why people would have liked to see the thread stay; we'd have preferred that too, to be honest, and wanted to give the OP the benefit of the doubt here. However, while we do our best to keep troll hunting under control, sometimes so much of it occurs so quickly, it simply becomes unmanageable to moderate. If we'd deleted all the posts that we felt were troll hunting we'd have been left with very little, too. We also felt in this case that the sheer amount of troll hunting meant that the thread had become an attack on the OP and we just didn't feel that was fair. So those were the reasons it came down rather than was moderated and allowed to remain.

We do agree though that troll hunting is a huge problem, and it is something we are doing our best to eliminate on the boards, with sanctions for those that do so habitually.

On that note, we're going to make a few deletions here and close this thread to new posts as we're a bit concerned that there are quite a few posts here, again turning over whether or not people believe the original OP on that thread to be genuine, and we don't want this to turn into a thread about a thread. But if you have any further questions about troll hunting in general, please do feel free to start another thread or drop us a line privately if you prefer.
