We've had some discussion about this situation, and we'd like all you Viners to know that we've been paying attention. To the multitude of reports flying through our staff forum. To the steady stream of warnings we've received about potential troll activity. We've had to deal with trolls on occasion around here, so we readied ourselves for the nightmare antics of the dreaded Troll from The Vine.
We're still waiting.
So far....we don't see a whole lot to concerns ourselves with.
Well, except for the fact that there does appear to be a consistent campaign to dog the DreadedDoc on almost every post he makes. Personally, I think I'd have come unglued by now.
I don't think anyone gets a reputation like Doc's unless they've earned it. But whatever happened in the past, on the forum that was apparently ruined by this kind of behaviour, we'd be much obliged if it could be allowed to gasp it's last breath now.
Like I said, we're watching, we know what's going on, and we've let it go to see who's made of what. So far, DocDred doesn't seem to be the one flinging poo.
Just sayin.
Anyway, if there comes a point where we have to intervene, we will. We'd rather not though, 'cause you all seem like a nice bunch of people... and we're glad to have you all here. But I'm sure you'd all enjoy yourselves a whole lot more if you'd lay down that heavy load of baggage you're all carrying. You don't need it here.
Give DocDred a chance... if he's yanking our chains, we'll know soon enough, but if anyone makes a concerted effort to harass him into a blow out, he won't go down alone. If ya don't like him, that's ok, this is a big enough forum that you don't have to interact with him. What I see going on here though seems a bit like dirty play. imo.
So again, welcome everyone, but please.... keep the poo out of our sandbox ok?
Thanks,
