The reason I think we need to reevaluate if we want to continue the old or new thread, is that today Mr. Spread will be unbanned.
So this will be the best time to make a final decision.

Also, we haven't made a poll to really get a feeling how most of the people think about this.

Hey trolls: if you like, please come and vote too!

The polling results will give a clear picture, and the moment we see Mr. Spread posting in one of the two threads, it will be final.

Since the new thread has been opened we have had a massive reduction of trolls in our midst. That makes it great for us to discuss SPR.

I was able to have a discussion with normal people even in the old thread, even during the beginning of the troll-infestation, by just puting the trolls on the ignore list.
What made that impossible were clumsy people who don't know how to handle trolls, and who constantly quoted and enabled them.

It's incredible, they managed to chase us away from our own thread.

How much longer are we going to be the laughing stock of BCT? Huh

Georgem,

I am a FIRM believer in the mod thread.

Just because YOU "ignored" them, just means that YOU didn't see all the TRASH and BS they were leaving around unchallenged. It didn't stop any new people interested in SPR from getting SLAMMED with all that crap. The ONLY reason it stopped is because of the modded thread.

And IF you delete the modded thread, who's to say they wont start up the sock puppet trash generation campaign again tomorrow, or next week, or next month... Whenever they want to kill the price again which is EXACTLY what they intended and succeeded in doing the last time.

Any argument about "modded thread making the coin look weak", "laughing stock BS", "not knowing how to deal with trolls", etc is a straw arguement... The only reason it exists is because a modded thread wasn't created in the first place... What are we? Pre-Schoolers on the playground believing that the bully that beat the crap out of us for fun has been reformed and won't be a bully tomorrow? Ever heard the story of the Frog and the Scorpion trying to get across the river? Don't fall for it. Keep the modded thread and keep it professional.

It will stand up for itself as people see that the difficult issues are NOT modded, only the trash.

Save what you want from the old thread and kill it.

Now that Mr. Spread is back, I have no say into what thread should be "killed" or not.
Something tells me that Mr. Spread (and 66% of the community) have too much involvement in the old thread to just let it die.

Don't be afraid of the trolls, and if your decision is to NOT IGNORE THEM, then it is you alone who has to endure their crap.

As simple as that.

From now on, I will start ignoring users who quote trolls too ... I will talk to them, make them see their wrong behaviour, and if they don't get it,... I will ignore them too.
