> [@Noel\_Fonulique](#): > > Now this is a wonderfully worked bait post, perhaps the best one I have ever seen, you pulled all the levers too. Wonderful stuff, you really are a master of your craft, I am going to like it because I have never seen one done so perfectly. I am in awe. Yup, that person is definitely a master at baiting, with a little help from friends and or alt characters, knows how to Meta-Game the forums. Funny thing is it’s always done in a passive aggressive format filled with sarcastic innuendo’s intended to insult and demean, all the while looking to draw out a defensive retaliatory reply that breaks forum rules so it can be flagged and then removed. Then afterwards will do the same to all other replies with the final objective of either chasing the player away from the forums or getting them banned. Guess the best defense is don’t engage them and just flag their reply, then afterwards file a complaint with Customer Service. ---

Yeah, I was going to say Master-Baiter but that would probably get flagged. ---

I wonder if some of the ISN could work out just how nasty that really was as a bait post. You have him sussed completely. My mentor said the name Linus Gorp when I mentioned Destiny. ---

There’s a few here in the forums that have made an art out of Meta-Gaming these forums, they know they’ll get back-up from others so they’ll instigate an altercation on a personal level. Like I said earlier, best advice is don’t engage, just flag it and then send Email with links to Customer Service. ---

I have Nicolai doing a flag war on me at the moment. He does a post with a direct insult whch I flagged. He then flagged one of my earlier posts with no direct insult, it is the one where I am saying what a great bait post Destiny wrote. I was not being sarcastic or nasty, it was a real work of art. So I put stop Nicolai on it and he did it again. I am guessing that at this point an ISD would come along think these two people are having a flag war and un-flag both. Which destroys the entire point of the flagging system. And now we get a meme attack too. I am not an experienced Eve player and I have been picking the brains of a very experienced player. There is nothing wrong in admitting that. And trying to make a thing about it is his issue. ---

My last interaction with you, you just hurled personal attacks at my face cause I called you “DMC”. In your paranoid mind, I had to be an alt of someone you had a beef with. Let’s be honest here DMC, you’re kinda toxic as well. Maybe get off that pedestal. ---

> [@Jayce\_Fitzpatrick](#): > > cause I called you “DMC”, I had to be an alt of someone you had a beef with. Very convenient that you immediately post a reply right after Nicolai so yes, I believe you’re an alt character of his. Especially since you call me DMC and your creation date is 04/28/2020. > [@Jayce\_Fitzpatrick](#): > > Let’s be honest here DMC, you’re kinda toxic as well. Maybe get off that pedestal. To be honest I reacted the same way as how you approached me. Furthermore you purposely went to that thread and initiated an altercation with me. Now how about you get off of the soapbox and leave that in the past. ---

Some of you (@Destiny_Corrupted, @Jonah_Gravenstein, a select few others) should consider taking the high road and just disengage, let your opponents have the last word. Your opponents are not worth your time, effort, or dignity. Yeah, trolling/baiting/foodfights can be engaging (for better or worse), but only up to a point before it gets stupid, especially when Barstorlode, whom most if not all of us respect and regard well, has asked us to cut it out. Don’t mind me, I’m just nudging the ‘team’ I want to ‘win’ in this skirmish 🏆 [Previous page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/moderation-of-the-forums/244360.md?page=23) [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/moderation-of-the-forums/244360.md?page=25)
