Look I do not want to be a mod . I have contribited to seveeral fourms and I understand some of the problems
in keeping them going and being healthy. Trolls are the bane of any fourm. Typically someone posts a good idea or somthing constructive, Then a troll comes along and flames all over it .... or people post somthing totaly unrelated to the original post. This causes people to stop reading a perfectly good thread.
MY IDEA IS. Give the origanal poster the option on the threads he or she starts to self regulate and deleat post that do not stay on topic or are just troll trying to derail a perfectly good thread.
Fourms are a lot of work but I would prune the bs off the threads that I create. I take ownership of my content and would like it to be seen and not s**t all over.
Two key ideas here are respect and free speech.
1) You must respect ideas as they are given.
2) Deleting, no matter how convenient, can turn into a rather '1984'-ish scenario, especially on the Internet.
And another thing:

What you need to do to navigate to it is simply click on your Name next to the notifications icon at the top. At the bottom right is the "Manage Ignore Prefs" option. Click on it and explore a new world with less trolls.

Again the troll button is the report button. This is already added to the forums as a feature.
Use these features.
I have the feeling I just handed you an axe towards me and anyone else I've observed you being, for the lack of a better term, 'brat-ish' at, but oh well, I probably should just block you and we can both exist in ignorant bliss of each other.
