We do have a lot of trolls. I just hate how the good posters get lumped in with them too. People talk like we're all a bunch of rabid morons or something

It's the same way with every fanbase. I can tell you that Ana's fans are usually nice and sane, but there are few annoying and delusional trolls that make the whole fanbase look terrible and desperate.

Masha has a huge fanbase, so it looks much worse. Whenever some of her haters writes something bad about her, few oversensitive fans will start arguing with the hater, insulting him/her or his/her faves etc.

but maybe if it wasn't for posters like Atlicznie + PetraReeMona who go out of their way to literally troll any player and troll any thread said fanbase wouldn't have to get angry and retaliate. It's a real bitch when everyone claims SS are the protagonists, but when you look at it from a neutral point of view you have as many people provoking SS as there are SS trolls.

I'd say there are a lot more going after SS than Maria fans antagonising others. Except Sgt. Timmykinz, and even he is doing it to Maria.

But is it so hard not to feed the trolls? Each and every fanbase of the top players get trolled and baited from time to time but not every fanbase fills threads with pages of off-topic ramblings trying everything to defend their fave. Trolls will always exist but there's never a reason to give them the attention they want.

But as I've already said in this thread, it usually comes down to the same bunch of posters and I'm very aware that it's usually only a small part of Maria's big fanbase.

Which part?

The trollish part.

Or rather a part of the trollish part.

I understand Max is away, but aren't there two other mods? I've PM'd both and have not heard back.

Same here! Tragic

Still, not sure opening a thread about it will be enough to capture their attention (i.e, if they exist here)

No we're getting to the point. Justice for all nice Mashatards. As Mashatard, I must say that some of them are just so sweet.

What defines a troll though?
