Specifically, those that are called "troll forums".
I'm sure by now most of us have read somewhere on MDC about a certain forum that is said to be geared towards "trolls".
This particular forum (the one that I know about) is, I believe, a spin off of MDC. It has quite a few joint members, some of which copy and paste discussions from MDC to the other forum. It is not a forum specifically for people to copy and paste stuff for, rather there are just some posters who choose to do that. Not every poster does, nor does that appear to be the main idea behind that forum (it might have started out that way, years ago, but I believe it's expanded past that now).
There are at least 2 members of this private forum that are also members of the other forum. SSM is a member of the other forum, but as she stated, she will not be using anything from this private forum over there. Earlier this week I did create a membership over on the other forum so that I could peek around and make sure there was nothing being copy/pasted from here. So far, I have not found anything.
SSM and I have done our best to only admit people to this forum that we trust have good intentions. Obviously we cannot guarantee 100% that there isn't anybody in here with bad intentions, but we do the best we can.
Both SSM and I will be checking on the "troll" site to ensure there is nothing being copy/pasted from this private forum. If we ever discover that this is happening, that person's membership to the private lounge will be revoked immediately, no questions asked.
This thread will be a place to discuss members feelings on this. We want to hear your (honest) opinions!
