Lets try this, can we? shall we? Survey?!
So here’s my idea, we (all serious veg*n)
a) do not answer troll questions
b) answer the questions in mocking + ridiculous way
c) write “2 points:” for every troll answer.
I draw back is we may miss real questions. But the plus side is we can stop this trolls! -
what do you think?
Answers: Okay, as a vegan, I am on this broad to answer/ ask serious, interesting question. However the trolls seem to be taking too much pleasure in asking dumb questions.

Anjik: There are very few clever, silly people trolling. Most of them just despise vegetarians and feel the need to harass us or spread misinformation. There's nothing clever or silly about being a moron.
I'm sorry to say you will never stop the trolls. No matter what, they will come and ask idiotic questions for the umpteenth time. Heck, in two days, I answered two questions about what if the plants had feelings. And writing "2 points" might get us a violation flag, so I'm not going to do that.
2 points!
Just kidding. I agree...no matter if you're vegan or not we all need to stop answering questions from trolls.
DONE! great idea.. i am so SICK of "do you eat animal crackers?" i could puke!!! Good job for starting this.. I'm on board...
A few weeks back when i was writing random facts on every troll question i ended up getting violations for it. which was ok because i was getting bored of doing it anyway.
I'm on board but I'm not sure about writing the 2 points we may get violations from yahoo.I say how about we don't answer questions from the trolls at all
I agree, questions should be about real and interesting stuff that we need some kind of answer...
not just stupid whereabouts...
I feel it's okay to joke about things. Why should everything be so serious?
It's nice to read a silly comment if it makes you smile and doesn't hurt anybody, especially if it's clever.
BTW I'm a veggie and don't consider myself a troll, but I have added the odd daft comment...because...well, I thought it'd be funny.
I agree the trolls should not be fed, but the "two points" response will get you violations. (I know. I used to respond with just "Troll.")
Simply click on "Block User," and then NEVER respond to anyone who has a flag. I don't even read the questions, life has enough negativity.
If you must read them, and If the question contains anything insulting or any profanity, (and they usually do) report them.
I think that you need to remember that this is the 'VEGETARIAN & Vegan' area.
I know that there are more than a few people on here that are not 'vegan' that are more than serious.
Other than that minor slip, I see nothing wrong with what you suggest.
I answered another question similar to this one and stated that seeing all the replies with stupid comments about getting their 'two points' was just as foolish as the 'troll'.
While I will admit that there are more than a few on here that are REALLY into getting the 'points' and being listed in the 'top 10'. Take a look at that list for this very area and see just how many of them are really even ACTIVE in this area any more?
To answer/ask questions is one thing, actually the thing that this area is suppose to be about. Past time to get back to that.
When that happens and people quit giving fuel to the foolish and childish actions of a few, no matter how many accounts they have, I think that the problem will go back to the once in awhile 'hit and run' type of posting that has been around on message areas for years.
I agree. But we must treat them kindly and be mindful of the perspective that they bring as telling us something about all of the wannabe vegans and wannabe vegetarians, i.e. "vegetarians/vegans of convenience" that are also another kind of 'troll' that is on this board.
You are a troll, and your one of the silliest girls I have seen on here so far. I pick (d), none of the above. Now go eat a carrot stick or something.
Sure Kimberly, count me in.
