You can't be there 24/7 to mod your post and Heavensqueen doesn't provide a modding team. So instead of egging the trolls on to find the the times when you are off, just keep it to Heavensqueen's levels of modding.

tbf they said they would only freeze after hours of *ist wank that killed other convos. that would only require checking in every other day at the most

Great, that means the trolls already know for how long they can troll to their heart's content and do everything to make coal a hell place and when to take a break and prepare for the next round.

if no one engages them then the wank won’t even start.

if they are so devoted that they same anon reply while everyone else keep on wanking about letters or sharing happy things then does the wank even matter? flatmeme coalies can dw block or take a break. tracking coalies can set the thread to auto archive.

what is there to lose? we really just need people to not bother replying. you aren’t going to change anyone’s mind on a meme. just let their wet fart linger until it goes away.

This. Jesus Christ. Even on flatview it's not that hard to pass by the posts with the thread title that's full of wank. Just don't read the shit or reply.

Somehow I manage it, and I'm lazy af, so I know it's not that god damn hard.

+ 1. If people ignored the trolls, not engaging them seriously, or trying to shame them with unfunny mocking, the posts wouldn't end up such a mess, trolls feed off the attention they get, so if they get no reaction, it'd all die down much sooner.
