Trolling Immunity Oath

Heather June 8th, 2016
.

If you spend enough time in the support chat rooms (or anywhere on the internet for that matter!) it is quite possible that you will encounter someone or other engaging in trolling behaviours. Should this happen to you, first and foremost please know its not your fault. The other person has the problem. Often, they just get a kick out of upsetting or aggravating another person, but it only works if we rise to take the bait.

There are certain things we can do as a community to build more immunity against those individuals who choose to cause distress or annoyance to others, and many of you are doing a great job at it already! The key thing to remember is that without an audience reacting to their comments and remarks, the person trolling becomes quite powerless. Its just no fun yelling at someone who doesnt seem to notice! This isnt to say the burden is entirely on you, but that we can work together to become more immune to trolling and help to protect one another. The other important part to this is to use the mute/report button to report any harmful/trolling behaviour you witness. This helps community managers to identify and remove those individuals.

The process when you encounter trolling behaviour should look like this:

โ›”๏ธ Stop engaging ---> ๐Ÿ”‡ Mute the troublecauser ---> ๐Ÿ“ Report via mute/report button.

If youd like to be part of this initiative to take a stand against trolling, please carefully read the following oath and then post it in this thread with your own username/current date. You will receive an Group Chat Antibody badge for doing so (coming soon!). You can simply copy and paste the oath, but its more meaningful if you type it out. :)

Stop doing oaths and pledges...the integrity and judgement is inside you, no need for words to conduct in a respectful manner, nor words to forgive those who have a bad day...

Oaths and pledges do not define you, what you are defines you inside...you do not need words but question your soul: have I done right or wrong, appologise if I do not understand or in bad mist...forgive and understand others...we do not need words on the wall, but mirrors to be better...
