unless calling someone an autist because they clearly don't understand something they think they do understand is trolling, i'm not sure i troll a whole lot around here. it's not like i need to actually make anyone rage - the community as a whole does a dandy job of that itself. i supported and initiated the original shitstorm that occurred for about the duration of my ban that revolved around cupcake, but i certainly didn't condone the later actions. i've actually repeatedly told certain people to stop being bad because it's just annoying and pointless. (if you look, you'll notice that i've contributed a select few times on Cupcake's page, the majority of which was a song from me and shadow as a sort of "the community is willing to forgive you" present that he saw as vandalism and/or spam.)

however, the point should remain that you don't want to fuck with anyone on this site unless you know you are going to win. i'm not the only big bad wolf around here.

as for innoruuk, the shitstorm that lau started around him was retarded. i called him an autist and told him to shut the fuck up at the beginning, but that's because he was just being annoying. once he chilled out, i actually explained everything to him and he relaxed. (the fact that lau decided she wanted to call in all of her friends was extremely unnecessary and ended up only hurting her image around here.)

the fact is that admins enforce policy when needed and/or when they feel like it. misery, who i talk to regularly, has banned me more than any admin, i'm pretty sure. whenever i get out of hand, he's more than happy to give me a break. the issue isn't the lack of policy enforcement, it's the community as an entirety. i wrote two policies to help correct some of the issues when i initially returned, and both were shot down as "unnecessary" or "pointless".

basically, pvx doesn't work because it is innately elitist. there is a set order to things, and anyone who comes in from outside without an invitation is eaten alive. pvx is basically an oversized chatroom that is vaguely centralized around guild wars and discussing the levels of mental or social retardation that afflict our fellow users.

you can't fix pvx because you can't fix people. you can't expect a community that is a minority of a larger community whose members are generally between the ages of 14 and 26 (i'm making a random assumption) and who have probably been to /b/ 100-times too many.

what it comes down to is that pvx has never worked and policies have never mattered, but things have only gotten worse over time. pvx is a wiki that doesn't acquire new contributors because there is nothing new to be done. everything here is janitorial - all that ever needs to be done is document and update the meta. theorycrafting builds rarely works and barely matters. if you want to clean up the trolling, give edit rights to admins only. it's really the only plausible solution other than everyone up and deciding to be upstanding citizens who never use the words "nigger" or "autist."
