that is a great point.
there are some self-regulating mechanisms at work at Camelot Emma. nature's invisible hand is at work at Camelot.
the people here are unknowingly setting one hell of an example for those who may be prone to irrational, abnormal, and unreasonable behavior.
we also have God's presence here so there is some sense of wanting to do the right thing at all times.
Camelot is also very clean. we even have something for the kids here which we will continue to build in time.
smelly, legless, gutless rats don't like clean places.
they can never find a market for their crap here. I know for a fact that I will never ever respond or dignify some stray troll's remarks here at Camelot.
I am actually not keen on banning people but sometimes there are times when extreme situations require extreme measures. For example that Alex situation at Tennis4U. And when people simply tend to post with the specific intention of trolling or for the purpose of upsetting people. But that also gives you an opportunity to show as to how good you are at handling difficult situations. Most people can't handle that. I've seen it time and again.
I personally exercise very high tolerance. I either choose to avoid or look past etc. but then again, that sometimes sets people off and make them do even more until you turn your utmost attention to them. You almost always know what they want.
It's very hard to handle people when the forums have far too many members. For me, right now, being on forums is less stressful since I only subscribe to this forum and most of the time, I like to just mind my own business by being on different threads on Emma's Worlds. Whether people read those threads or not, agree with me or not, has no affect on me. The fact that I can post my own stuff without being interrupted 10 times a day makes more than happy.
