Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

So in just under an hour you've gone from a number of sites are already preparing to I personally think many sites will be waiting until just before the bill becomes law.....

I do hope (as the thread title says) the police get tough on internet trolls and this new law will come down hard on people spouting unfounded statements.

And there was me thinking you were asking a question in good faith when, in reality, you were just trying to run rings around me.

Are you still a champion for those with mental health issues at work?

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

I was asking a question in good faith, it's just a shame the same can't be said about the statement that triggered the question. If you stop spouting baseless rubbish you'll find people stop picking you up on it.

I'm a mental health first aider, but don't see the relevance.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

You're looking for a pointless puerile argument and I won't be indulging you.

Pulling stunts like this on me makes you unsuitable to hold such a position in my opinion.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

No one asked your opinion, and right now, you are trolling.
Keep it up and you'll find out what moderation actions we can take.

You forgot "define reasonable person".

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

And there you have the issue - you are using your personal boundaries to define "pointless" and "puerile"; subjective rather than objective.

GUN will have undergone assessment and review to undertake his role (I know, as I’ve been involved in the process in other organisations), but you feel, because he disagrees with you, he is "unsuitable".

This says more about you than him…

I'm willing to bet 38p that sometime today, a phrase similar to 'cognitive impairment*' will get used . . .

Trouble is, Bots would be needed to search for violations.

But there is only one issue.

They can't tell the difference between real abuse and when a fan page on Facebook quotes a line from a program or film.


Take the line in the film Taken, where he says to his daughter's kidnapper that "I will find you and kill you". FB says that a threat and bans you

I would like to close this thread because it's become pointless.

I can probably understand why people requested the thread be closed, but in the interests of free speech (which we all admire) I can see why it was denied ;)

Unfortunately so many ones are :(

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

I'm just fed up with trying to see how to moderate it especially as the subject matter no longer fits the title.

Maybe changing the title would be better except I've no idea what to change it to.:rolleyes:
