Should there be a subforum specifically for trolls? Trolls are one of the primary, and most easily noticed, denizens of the internet so it is not like it would not be immediately populated. Potential example thread titles could include:

I HATE EVERYTHING!! !! !! !! !! !
@#$%^&*! !@$#%$@
%$%&#$@$#^%7

AND MANY MORE.

Now that was a great idea!

You can lead a troll to water, but you can't make it soil its own nest. ;)

why can't there be an uncensored purgatory-style forum where everybody lets out their bile in a contained forum? a place where the most vile hatreds can be drained into the electronic ether in a whirlpool of wantonly woeful written wreckage? it would be for adults only and would have a plethora of warnings attached to it, in the manner of "abandon all hope ye who enter here." thataway, if things got out of hand in the other forums, the moderator could say "take it to the purgatory" and banish said thread there. just a thought.

no, i mean a place far, far worse than even that- like purgatory- a place where the furies can have no end, a place where people can figuratively scream until they are hoarse, with no moderation whatsoever.

Whew! With the outhouse on fire, people coming back inside from there would carry that stench along in with them ...

Yuck!

We at WrongPlanet realize that not everyone who joins up has something useful and helpful to say. That's why we've given the trolls a place to gather!

At least we are now smart enough to spot most of them at the door, eh?!

Yeah, ... most have enlisted as of February this year, although it sometimes seems like a few have made preemptive accounts in preparation for the 5th anniversary of I^2 ...

You seem to know a lot about I2...

Even I didn't know it was nearly the "5th anniversary" of it

And, quite frankly, I don't care :nerdy:
