Between a troll and a new user?

By the way they post, it can be quite obvious in some cases.

The join date doesn't make a difference between a troll and a new user.

Not with a bang but a whimper.

Just ban them all. We're isolationist.

^Didn't think about the question posed too carefully.

OT: Trolls are obnoxious about their supposed ignorance, new users are timid.

It's hard, but there are distinctions. One will seem oblivious, and one will act oblivious and then act like a jerk.

I'm assuming that they would check the user's post history, join date, past offenses, and linked gamertag to determine if the user is a troll or just a new member. If they can't figure it out, they could always warn the user as a future reference for such behavoir.

One has to do so very carefully. Consider tone, phrasing, and specific words that the poster in question uses.

Generally, though, if one has to ask if someone is a troll or a new user, they are probably a troll. If not, they can handle a warning.

Good assumption, especially for a relatively new member... Basically, don't worry about it until the user makes a mistake, and then judge them accordingly.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

It isn't THAT hard to tell

Users really don't matter in the grand scheme of moderating. What matters is the severity of the rule infringement and what can be done accordingly.

Generally the first thing that comes to a new user's mind to post isn't flamebait/controversial topics.

  • 10.10.2012 3:58 PM PDT

Welcome.
You have just entered my mind. Please sign the contract before continuing further into this black hole to acknowledge I am not at fault if any mental/physical damage is caused to you whilst viewing my history. If any damage to yourself is caused, please call your whaambulance for advice.

What's the need to tell the difference? Rules are rules, if they're broken they get warned/banned.

Join date... And trolls usually fail anyway so they're compromised within the first 4 posts.

If I was a Ninja I would have banned anyone who posted the stupid things I did when I first joined (I was a try-hard noob, it almost a parody it's so bad). So I guess they let one or two threads go but if they start building up then they issue a warning (that will shake up new members, but not trolls).
