Nice going guys. Seriously. Well done.

That is the only reason they dare post such shitty comments. Because they know they can hide behind their little lcd's and say whatever they want without getting fucked up. I'm sorry but they are cowards..if you have something to say then at least have the balls to add you're name you thick tards.

How will disabling the comments impact the site? If the impact is not significant then I think it would be best to disable it.

Would not the simplest solution be to disable the comments and have a link to a forum thread, which is currently done in any event. Anyone wishing to post would then be forced to register.

It's not necessarily the forum guys who are making the comments. Personally, if I want to comment on an article, I'll do it in the forum thread.

I think that until the article comments are tied to a forum login, it might be best to disable them completely.

And what's with people bashing Tarryn in someone else's article? I still don't know why people have such a problem with her

 

[TheAvenged87]

Yup.

These okes hide under the guise of anonymity and say whatever they want, without making any sense and badmouthing the writers of MyG in the process. If they were known, they would spare us all this troll-ism kak and they wouldn't be quite as windgat as they are now. It is not the first time that I have seen this happen. Instead of posting something that makes sense and adding to the conversation, they just take low blows at the writers. To be more specific, they normally just target one writer (with the exception of the new one).

The recurrence of these utterly trollish and naive comments makes me think that some of them are actually members of the forum, since they display some familiarity with the writers and previous articles.

Cut the anonymity and this nonsense will stop.

Thread: Nice going guys....

Jeez that was an asshole comment. Why are you such a fucking asshole

Hehehehe I got negative rep'd for my comment in here. Shame oke.

Because she is a girl and a gamer, and they wish they could have her..but sadly they can't lol

I think some guys still have a caveman mentality that gaming is a man's world. Probably feel threatened by a lady doing better than them at a game?

I think we should all meet IRL for monthly MyGaming Fight Club events.

The rules:

1. Well, we all know this one.
2. If you're a troll, you have to fight.
3. Staff members are allowed weapons.

Can I sign up to fight the trolls?

 

[Wenzdayz]

i wanna sign up too! by weapons what exactly do you mean? /rubs hands

If that is what anonymity does to people then they are a pathetic bunch of commentators.

 

[Sgt]

The article seemed fine to me.

I don't know why anyone would have something to say. There was obviously a bit of work gone into the thing, so if they think they can some how do it better and put that amount of work into it let them.

IF not they must shut there flytrap and go find a nice dung heap to d/troll in.

Rule 4: any non-troll member may slap around as many trolls as he/she desires.

Pretty much anything to inflict pain, though a mallet with "BanHammer" scribbled on it would be preferable.

 

[ArchieChoke]

Wow.....those comments actually got me really confused there.Dont know who is who anymore.
Having people register will be ultimately a troll stopper however i think trolls willl troll even if they are registered, see it on IGN but IGN kinda leaves them alone to do whatever they want.

There's trolls everywhere, but i have to say the LOL forums for trolls is the bomb....Just the fact you agree that you wont be X....But then people behave as X and get banned.Its just classic.

Count me in then, always up for Troll pawning.

 

[Sirf]

The article was fine especially considering its the dude's first article here. But seriously, it's just trolls being trolls. Stop feeding them!

 

[Graal]

The troll is definitely someone who knows me from somewhere else. Note how he can cite my exact DoB in the comments section. That information isn't available on this forum. The only place that is available the MyBB forums, which would make sense, seeing as someone there registered my nick to troll their comments section already. This is getting really tiresome. I would literally pay money for someone to give me information on who this is. Not because I want to bitch at the guy, or anything, just to find out 'why?'.

Take a look at the comments. Really? Even for the trolls this is a really low blow. Congrats. You've sunk from being trollish assholes to being downright despicable human beings. Are you still 15 years old? A new writer writes his first opinion column and your kneejerk reaction is to be complete, total, unforgivable assholes? Your parents must be proud of you.

Oh for the love of... You have GOT to be kidding?

Why do we get the absolute cream of the crop when it comes to trolls? We could give YouTube comments a run for their money!

Bloody hell, the trolls are out in force lately.

Can we not just disable the comments until the new system comes online? The current implementation is doing nothing but creating animosity.

I second this motion. It really just makes MyG look bad

Hear you Graal, this individual seems to crave attention - try and ignore, but I know it is difficult.

 

[Graal]

Oh for the love of, he posted my email adress with this;

"When shopping for a home, or sex you need money. Email me [email protected] for a free quote. SA only!"

in the comments. The only place that is available is in my sig at MyBB. I don't mind quite as much, because it's my dedicated Facebook email account and I never use it, but it's just sad the extent this guy would go to to troll me. Seriously.
