Calling people troll: a bannable offense?

[Panoramixe]

Every thread you open these days has people calling each other trolls, which in itself is a form of trolling. Therefore I propose just banning everyone using the word troll, there's no reason to use it anyway since they should report instead of posting something like that and I personally think it would benefit the forums in the end.

I be wantin' dat to be a bannable offense too mon, racist bastards!

Troll pride! <3

I support this, people throw the word "troll" around like nothing. By posting "troll", you're feeding the troll and not being constructive. If you think someone is trolling, report the post and let a MOD handle it instead of bumping a garbage thread with a garbage post.

Yet by posting this post decrying trolls who call trolls trolls, you are yourself calling the trolls who call trolls trolls trolls, and are therefore yourself a troll for calling trolls who troll trolling trolls trolls.

Make the word "fanboy" bannable as well, and I'm all for this.

Add "bias", "blizz hates", and "casual" to the list too.

Tired of hearing people accuse others of trolling just because they disagree, and others who just don't seem to know what it means.

Then how would we call the trolls? And don't even try suggesting "ignoring them". We never do. Never :P

You call them trolls in a report to the mods? You're allowed to troll them as long as it's a valid report.

Feeding a troll (by calling them trolls or just being nonconstructive, posting meme pics, etc) is a bannable offense, and "fanboy" is certainly a trigger word which attracts our attention and might get a ban for trolling or flaming (depending on context). Memes in general ("inb4 lock", "cool story bro", "facepalm", etc) are all bannable, either in text or in pictures.

We may be lenient in some specific cases, but it's not guaranteed. Report things if you see them; we'll take care of them

Report them. Don't post after them.

@_@ If that was math there would be some parenthesis for clarity.

For that matter add "site mentioned before, which should never, ever be mentioned" (Ok I just won Dinnerbone's vote with that one). There's no reason at all to refer to it, it just makes more people go to the hell of the internet.

I don't like math.

[Caradinist]

I support this as long as you add "epic" in the form of a compliment onto the list of bannable offenses.

Unfortunate that a pair of shoes that drop off a large demon are classified as "epic" according to blizzard, and there's nothing that can be done about that.

Don't go overboard with your demands ^^

Tbh we should restrict every word in the dictionary except for "the" "arcipluvian" and "boondoggle"

[A Challenger!]

Add "haters gonna hate" to that growing list as well. This list shall block out the sun by the end of the day, or at least until this thread is locked, because mods "apparently" cannot delete posts.

i wouldn't say banable, but i do think its stupid and childish, kinda like all the crap over worgen. I'm 17 and i'm more mature then a lot of these people its pretty sad.

You sir win one free internet. This is what I was thinking, but was too busy feeding the machine to post it.

EDIT: Really? I figured you could, but never saw it ever being used. All the troll threads usually got locked for everyone to gawk and lulz at, and you just made my day.

I am confused. Wouldn't that like reduce the population on these forums by 90%?
