Where Tuz is headed / The Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Player Thread Trolls (1 Viewer)

[Tomice]

A bit self-indulging but please bear with me...


My first visit to this forum was in 2007. At our darkest time as a club, feeling like the only Juve fan in the world, I found Tuz. It became my homepage a week after that and for almost 6 years since not a single day went by without me here lurking.
As an silent user of sorts I started noticing that certain negative (imo of course) trends are becoming more and more dominate in this forum "culture".

I won't deny that quality trolling can be great fun, it adds humour and its not a small part of what makes this place work (Cron is the essence of trolling whether he knows it or not ) but where does it stop ?

I can't be the only one that avoids certain player threads all together because they became nothing more then a trolling contest between two groups of users trying to out-troll each other. When we can no longer discuss one of our own players without being a fanboy or a hater something is really wrong.

Is it not apparent that many of the more balanced/reasonable voices in this forum are less and less heard? When did you last saw a new quality poster? Tuz is becoming less and less friendly and more and more a place of extremes, biased opinions and personal grudges, a place that constantly make you pick a side when we are all suppose to be on the same one.

I admit that I barely post, let alone open threads but I do hope you won't hold it against me as I feel a strong need to say whats on my mind even if I'm alone in this, it hurts me to watch this special place turn from a laid back,funny and often insightful joint into an insiders only club.


Mods-please move it if it's not where it should be

I don't wanna point any fingers but it's all the new european (read:danish) members imo. throw an emotional sheik into the mix and this is what you get.

edit: oh yea, zach too.

 

[Zacheryah]

I agree with this. I'm opinionated, but some people feel the need to continue to mock about it, everywere they go.

thing is, even former mods do it, so its hard to change

that and assholes like yourself that feel the need to go offtopic to nag about something that me for example said in a diffrent thread, or just the person in general.

Really, you are the one the speak here...

I've been on these forums and fairly active for 10 years. I'm not sure things are all that different, tbh.

please don't turn this thread into a troll ground too. and refrain from insults if you would. it makes the site look vulgar. I will be the bigger man and not report this post so as to give you a second chance to clear things up. the apology is optional.

Exactly was I was thinking. It's like when people bitch about how a language has changed.

Edit: Tomice, I don't think you're bitching.

it's ok to have one "Lion" posting sporadically, it's another to get all the loser wannabes constantly posting with no other intent but to derail and troll for their entertainment. I have found myself using private messages to get questions answered to not get caught in the cross fire.

Yea this thing goes in waves. Every once in a while I feel like for forums blow and so do all the noobs posting but its cyclical and actually a non-existent issue

Juventus is heading in the right direction, people are now optimistic, happy, that's why there are more humour or let's call it trolling posts. You've joined this forums in the dark times like you said so i think people were too pissed about current situation to 'troll'.

This Quag-Matri rivalry is only because of the off-season, at least it keeps some threads alive.

 

[enzo]

I agree. Not that I have ever been one of the elite members, but I have been posting even less in the last few months. Especially when browsing the forums on my mobile, it has become a pain to extract and discover the valueable posts in between all the SELL and fanboy posts.

It's much easier to see those changes from the "outside". just have a look at the Gio/Matri/Quag threads, It was never like that, even when we had motta,molinaro and the likes it was all in good humour and 1-2 oddball user

Why looking for info on the team becomes a burden sometimes?

Edit: we're cool Soren

retardation levels are always high in the off-season, it will improve once football is back.

 

[Alen]

There is a very easy solution, now that we have an option to ban members from certain threads.

Just ban Sheik from Vucinic's thread. He's doing nothing else but trolling. Ban the group in Matri's thread that does nothing else but make fun of Matri. Same with those in Quag's thread. If not all of them, since there are many bandwagoners, ban only the 3 most active from each group. Ban them all for 2-3 weeks. It will be a lesson for the others.

If they find a new thread to continue their little war, then give them a 3 week ban from the forum.

That doesn't make sense

 

[Alen]

If both Matri and Quag are still here during the season, the silly posts will only gain in quantity.

 

[Hængebøffer]

I agree with Alen. Stop closing threads and ban people instead.

This much is true, however.

I haven't stuck my foot much yet in the Quagmire (pun intended) of the Quag/Matri/Vucinic threads lately. But from what I read in the mod threads, I'm all in support of the recent move to clean house and throw out the bums who do nothing but troll the same posts multiple times each day.

To be honest they're just filling the Burke/AC vaccum.


You all know it.

At least they're fun, though.
