You could easily just look for accounts which have greater than 75% (or 90% or some number) of their activity in polyass and ban those. Bot or not, if you're only posting in polyass...

100% support getting PolyAss off the Timeline in the app. You guys removed it from the "New Posts" button on web browsers, please find a way to remove it in the app.
I don't really participate over there so no opinion on the rules or lack thereof in the forum. However I can remember back far enough to when a lot of that bullshit was in the Padded Room, and PolyAss is very welcome to get that shit out of here. Threads about current events going political and turning nasty is inevitable, there will always be a need to put them someplace else. Make a post limit before people can post there if you must, get it off the main page of the app, but don't do away with it entirely.
It's funny, I'm probably one of the more ski bummy posters on here but don't post much in ski\board anymore. My life is skiing, this place has become my escape from that.
Tgr is like a chairlift ride with old friends; Lots of shit talking and stoned, irreverent musings
Catering to the trolls would be silencing your whining. Instead it's being neutral. If you don't agree with their political views, stay out of those threads unless you feel like engaging. And if you think they are just being provocative, then ignore it!Quote:

Agree that it's trolling and completely obnoxious. But the question is do we ban someone for being trolling and completely obnoxious? If so, who decides what is trolling and completely obnoxious?Quote:

You trigger me all the fucken time. Trolls trigger. I would never post in poly ass if if wasnt busy getting trolled in by you and grape ape.
The Goat is probably the best skier on this forum, chump.

Stop being such a fucking pussy. Don't you have any impulse control?Quote:

Might be premature ejac?
please. my whining is a tiny tiny fraction of any troll's posts. a number of them had many thousands of posts and started an inordinate number of threads only in polyass. i'm pretty sure if we had a graphic representation of posts per poster it would be obvious.Quote:

i agree if people don't like it or can't handle it they should leave and i have from time to time. that doesn't mean these issues aren't relevant and worthy of half-assed critique.
but at least not having to weed through bullshit to look at pretty and funny diversions would be nice.
You sound like my crazy uncle. Only he talks about the subversive Gay agenda in Hollywood.Quote:

I'd like to see the pollyass off the mobile app main page first and foremost-
it really gunks up the forum and even though we have a ton of old fucks here, even they use iphones, apps etc more than our computers these days and so it is essentially a main part of the forum
as far as the polyass trolls- I fear having a set % or amount posted outside of pollyass bc maybe then they move into different forums with their shitfuckness....maybe this won't happen bc they are bots and can't participate as easily?
But most importantly- STOP FUCKING FEEDING THE TROLLS
I see shit every day that I could debunk, call that person an idiot, yada yada yada but I don't bc it's not worth my time. also what Mbillie said.. cliffnotes: you are never going to change minds on an internet forum. It's hard enough irl situations so just stop responding.
I see both sides on the ban or not ban
The super shitfucks that are only pollyassers are easy to tell
I don't think we are a group that takes this shiz lightly so why not put it to a poll when things are taken too far?
We are the ones that know who the devils advocates are vs the truly trolls
I mean I would place $37 that even digitaldeath never gets a poll bc he is actually a fine upstanding contributing member to this forum compared to the shitfucks we now have
This is a ski forum. I think occasional political discussions are appropriate when it's relevant but I feel half my new thread posts are pollyass at any given time and this is diminishing the forum-
from a business standpoint think about the new members- I would bet most look at the forum on their phones and it's intimidating enough to start posting here then get the whack jobs that post in pollyass being the 1st thing you see? I'd high tail it
but did you like it? (no judgment)Quote:

ignoring all the other issues, i don't understand how this issue is apparently ignored.

So obviously I like the timeline as is- but I can see how some would prefer to opt out of certain sub-forums.
you are definitely not a troll and no reasonable person here would think that. the shit here in pdx is volatile to discuss regardless.
Maybe polyass can be a private forum you have to ask to join? That way anyone who posts in it has to choose to look.
fwiw steep concrete I don't view you as a troll even if I don't nec always agree with you.
You contribute other stuff if I recall correctly- gardening and shit too.
there are many that are just here to post insults and only pollyass trolling threads. if you want your own little weird ass forum bc you like arguing with people all the time then make a different forum- Or even- GASP- join a real political forum. There are plenty out there and you'll get even better results.
people that only pollyass here are just half assers. Go to a real political forum
I'd much prefer talking to the half assers than experts. The experts track record is shit lately. I want to somewhat stay in touch with the average Joe.
problem is I am the average joe and nobody wants to listen.
Some people just want to argue
glad I am not married to any of those!! :tongue:
I just scrolled through 3 pages of that shit...now I need a fucking shower.
how about e-timeouts!
Putting a password on polyass (even if it's just 'password') might filter the threads out of the app timeline unless people choose to see them. I'll try it out tomorrow.Quote:
