- What kind of percentages do you think will leave or go dormant after a successful BB10 launch and review? It is a well known fact that ******** about something is easier. We are all guilty of it at one time or another (myself included) but there is a difference between venting and calculated negativity. I wonder about the folks that are on this site solely for the thrill of trashing...
Alex07-13-12 07:06 AMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired Mod30% however they won't go quietly. They will stick around for a while to tell us
all how much BB10 sucks, how the platform is the death knell for RIM and how we
are all suckers for still using BlackBerry.
We for our part will pity them until the "Troll Patrol" aka the Mods dispatch them.07-13-12 07:29 AMLike 4 - A lot of people that are Blackberry fans here are leaving, reducing time here, being banned and/or exploring other options available. Trolls are running rampant here and seem to be given more preference with some of the mods than people who own Blackberry phones that are simply sick of the constant "RIM sucks", "RIM is dead" postings by the same group of people. Kinda sad really.bungaboy likes this.07-13-12 07:57 AMLike 1

When investigating certain individuals I found errible behaviour on other sites, which led to banning. Not surprisingly, this person doesn't see personal trolling behaviour but blames everyone.e else, appearing the victim.
A troll is a troll is a troll...07-13-12 08:33 AMLike 3 - Disguises? Naked? Sounds like Mardi Gras. (jk) I read their comments, chuckle, and most of the time, keep moving. I can't stay agitated. It's at a point where I ignore most of it. LOL. Same as I do those that post comments about other devices not being worth a ish. Anyway, RIM is still working on the next line of BlackBerries and a new Platform that may become a game changer or at least that is/should be the plan. If/when they are released, I'll get one. Until then, the over-the-top-dramatics about leaving (by some) is not going to help RIMs situation or cause CrackBerry to padlock the door.07-13-12 09:11 AMLike 0
- I am one who will be gone if I don't see a successful launch and review of BB10 by the end of February (I want the QWERTY one!). That's when my birthday is and that's all the time I will give RIM to get it right.
I love BlackBerry and really don't know where else I'd go, but if my girlfriend gave me this many broken promises I would have kicked her to the curb a long time ago.07-13-12 09:26 AMLike 0 - I doubt they'll go anywhere. Hopefully it won't be as many, but this is the intert00bz and there's entirely too much money at stake. Corporations aren't known for their consciences nor social awareness. This astroturfing thing is sadly enough probably the new "normal"...I've adjusted my filters accordingly.bungaboy likes this.07-13-12 12:55 PMLike 1

If the moderators didn't have to waste time dealing with repetitive and wildly extravagant disruption by the self-appointed vigilantes we would have more time to deal with the real trolls. There are some who are well overdue for banning, but after several HOURS most days cleaning up spam and the highly visible droppings left by fanboi-vigilantes I don't have time to find the evidence which will support a ban when the inevitable appeal lands._StephenBB81 likes this.07-14-12 09:41 AMLike 1 - On most occasions where members have been banned the worst of the offending behavior has also been removed from view. The ex-member then proclaims innocence and unfair banning. I have seen several such cases in the last two weeks, where a member has a disgraceful record of warnings and timeouts before finally provoking a permanent ban. In some cases there was even an indication that the ban was provoked deliberately in a desire to appear as a martyr to the cause. Putting it simply, a few of the whining ex-members have told a tale of woe which omits many significant facts like persistent profanity, multiple warnings, harassment of other members...

As usual....well said.

Back to topic. I think that 30% will be pretty darn close.Last edited by bungaboy; 07-14-12 at 05:30 PM.
