Yet you refuse to ban the trolls, why?

i think members who issue false or baseless accusations towards other members should be issued infractions

I also think members that are quick to call out new posters as trolls and or "site their bs meter" is going off, to then find out later in the post that the OP was legitimate should also be issued infractions.

the point to all of this is, trolls should be certainly discouraged, but so should also posting accusations without at least having to think about if you are wrong there is some kind of negative impact.

A common demoninator of both trolls and spammers is patience - actually lack of patience.

Within their first ten posts if not a lot sooner, their intent will be very obvious.
