Setting off the troll alarm

This of all places is a WELCOMING place. New, well intentioned posters coming here shouldn't immediately be tagged as a troll unless it is slapping you in the face. In such a case I trust the staff here enough to call a duck, a duck and lock the thread or delete the post.

Calling people trolls is harsh treatment, and routinely unprovable anyways. Assume some good faith, will ya? Sheesh.

I just copied the above from a thread where several people were crying troll. This has been going on a lot lately and bbarnsworth is absolutely right.

We get a lot of people here from a lot of different backgrounds. We get people from other countries who don't speak/write English very well. We get people with little or no computer knowledge (sometimes to the point that it amazes me) and yes we get experienced swingers who have not yet found a home where they feel they can discuss openly their swinging life. Keep in mind that unlike other sites (ad sites) with forums, this one is unique in that is is not directly tied to any ad site, so that someone (if they choose) can be completely anonymous. That is the purpose of this site, to give everyone the opportunity to openly discuss their issues (at whatever level of swinging they are at). Just because you haven't had that experience or there are questions left to be answered, does not make the person a troll. If you have doubts, ask questions and get a clearer picture of the story before you give advice. If you have valid reason (beyond the post) to think it's a troll, then by all means come to me and I'll look into it. But, until someone proves themselves a troll here on the board (which has happened, although very rarely) give them the benefit of a doubt and give them a chance to stick around and allow you to get to know them, before tar and feather them as a troll and chase them out of town.

Absolutely correct Julie... Innocent until proven guilty... not the other way around!
