    I tried the refresh- I even rebooted my computer and no Thanks. But I could post a thousand negative comments if I wanted to - right? lol

    No, and not all non BlackBerry owners are trolls either. We'd lose some good people. But it has to be better than letting vocal basher keep going on and on and on.

    I'm disappointed in RIM too. But I'm still happy with my BlackBerry and I still plan on getting a BlackBerry 10.

    If you hate BlackBerry and RIM, peace out.

    That is a great idea-but a full time job. It would be a lot easier to report and regroup the people that don't bash. I miss the "old" Crackberry.
    Reporting does help, especially on threads that are repetitive and redundant. People who see their threads disappear will get the message to stop creating so many new threads that say the exact same thing over and over.

    Unfortunately there are Blackberry owners who are trolls too, both pro and anti RIM. Using terms such as iToy or iCrap certainly adds nothing to the quality of the discourse.

    So everyone who disagrees with you is a troll and has to be taken out with the trash.

    I guess everyone should just say "everything is fine" and move on.

    I think you may have to toughen up and expect a lot of bad news for at least two more quarters. You may not like it, but the RIM of the past (with accompanying happy news and joy) is long gone.
    For the unhighlighted, you either didn't read, or completely misunderstood Kevin's posts.

    Adressing the highlighted:
    You feel the need to make sure the faithful aren't missing the painfully obvious. Something akin to standing outside a Mosque or Temple after services, and informing the members they can't eat pork. No matter how accurate the statement, it's at minimum useless and annoying.

    It isn't a new round, just an ongoing process.

    We got lucky, a bunch of prolific trolls and disruptive posters checked out for various reasons. That allowed more time for the moderators to focus on the background instigators, and more enforced departures followed.

    Unfortunately the original post doesn't seem to address a segment of RIM fanatics here who like to start threads with opening posts calling anyone who uses any other platform "sheep", "robots" and various other insults. So I guess that isn't considered trolling on this forum? Or is that type of trolling just acceptable because it's not negative towards Blackberry? Because these types of threads are way too common.

    Please don't take the post as combative. There are a lot of us here who use multiple platforms who are not hostile posters in the slightest, and who participate in these forums. I think a lot of us contribute with useful posts, and don't deserve those attacks.

    I can, it would be just nice if a thread started to address trolling mentioned the issue since it is a pretty prevalent issue, and ends up resulting in a lot of threads turning hostile.

    Such insults may not have been a frequent problem when the original post was made. That minor detail doesn't stop us taking down posts, handing out warnings to the offenders, and "isheep" has certainly been the last straw to bring at least one ban.

    Yeah I know, I was joking, I have a tendency to do some stirring myself.

    I thought someone might get a laugh. Looks like I'm MC'ing at a mortuary.

    Here's a thread that is a perfect example. "iToy" and Apple user insults all over the thread. Do those need to be there to have a discussion? Those posts aren't considered trolling? They sure don't have much base in facts. http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...ild-up-719447/

    Not liking a product, or posting review points about why you don't like it is not the issue. Insulting everyone who uses a product simply because they use that product is. Is this considered ok on this forum as long as you are only insulting non-RIM users?
