Online trolling is the practice of behaving in a deceptive, destructive, or disruptive manner in a social setting on the Internet with no apparent instrumental purpose. From a lay-perspective, Internet trolls share many characteristics of the classic Joker vil- lain: a modern variant of the Trickster archetype from ancient folk- lore. Much like the Joker, trolls operate as agents of chaos on the Internet, exploiting ‘‘hot-button issues’’ to make users appear overly emotional or foolish in some manner. If an unfortu- nate person falls into their trap, trolling intensifies for further, mer- ciless amusement. This is why novice Internet users are routinely admonished, ‘‘Do not feed the trolls!’’.
Am I in the wrong for pointing out Zyklons behavior here? In turn Crensch has become a troll in his actions, seriously guys how do we turn this mess around for the sake of Voat?
I think zyklon's behavior went far beyond simple trolling and anyone that was paying attention should recognize this. This seems to be what Crensch is demonstrating.
Setting that aside for the moment, people need to start talking honestly about the problems here and be willing to work towards some actual solutions. Things can't continue the way they are. It's why I reached out to you in the first place.
Some of the words Zyklon said was outrageous and horrific in many ways. This is true.

We have to move on, he is no longer here and we do need solutions, I wholeheartedly agree. This constant bickering and finger pointing has to stop and to what gain is it anyway? Solutions based discussions indeed the way forward.
Solutions based discussions are indeed the way forward.
I agree. I would very much prefer that the community work together and seek solutions as opposed to any drastic changes from the admin level. The first step in doing that is to identify the problems. I don't think anyone is happy with the state of Voat outside of the shills. What do you think of my reply to you farther up in the thread? Does that seem accurate to you? Am I overlooking anything or do you see it differently?
