Trolling in the Verizon Forum
How lame is it getting? Between BB2709, AveJoe, and pwfb there's not room left for any legitiate posts... Hopefully Rich pulls his head out and sees what's going on here.
...
everyone is sick of your trolling. it will only be a matter of time before you're banned.
...
why can't i express my feeling about working for verizon wirless. a new person comes on phonescoop and you bash him. come on
...
You can express your feelings about "working" for VZW. However, it seems that you only have negative things to say and do not offer any real or valued advice, That is the problem that I have with your type of posting. People come on this forum to discuss legitimate concerns and share information, all I have seen from you is negativity. Rich was right, maybe you got off to a BAD start, you are now being given a second chance. So, try to be productive and if you have a negative comment try and put it in a non-inflammatory way. If you can do that, please also try to use spell check so we can understand what you are trying to say.
Thanks
Thanks

The steady stream of threads and posts about trolling do not help.
If you see something that you feel is inappropriate, please report it to us instead of posting about it.
I personally review every message that is reported. If it really is trolling, it is deleted. There certainly has been some of that recently, and I have dealt with each case that has been reported to date.
However, a lot of people in this forum have apparently decided they don't like certain other users, and are reporting every message from them as "trolling", even when it is not. Please don't do that. If you have a beef with a certain user, please keep it to yourself. Venting in this forum - or to me - does not help.

I sort of a agree with you. I understand that all opinions good or bad do facilitate discussion.
My problem however has to do with the spewing of senseless facts that can be proven wrong, but are continually defended to the point of senseless regurgitation with the only goal being to disrupt the forum. THIS has gone on more then just "negative opinion" and was the basis of my post. Thank you for taking the time to respond. This is a wonderful website and we all want it to continue.

That's all fair and good it's just when some people are being negative to just be negative, with the alterative motive of disrupting the fourm...which I believe is what is happening here lately. Sure share your negative opinions but when it's done a hundreds times a day, is it really contributing to the forum or just a sneaky way of trolling? Just my opinion, but it's clearly trolling.
...
I'm not being negative. Verizon does not have rollover and all verizon phones are crippled. This is a forum and I think I can tell u how I feel about a phone or my job at verizon wireless. Everyone one on verizon gives there opion. thank you

case in point... contradictory statements
...
We all get it though. We're not stupid, we all see the nonsense that you are spewing out of your mouth on a daily basis. We know what you like and dont like....so now move on and contribute something of value to the discussion.
Just because you disagree is not why people hate you and your posts. Its the manner in which you write and deliberately start flame wars.
Its just said to see someone who is so self centered that you have to ruin hundreds of peoples experience so that you can get a few cheap laughs or feel cool cause you disrupted this forum.
Its just really sad...

I think u started all of this. You say allot of good stuff but you hate it when people talk down about verizon.
...
i call b.s. chris is one of many people on here that are more than helpful... he, like others, are tired of your tasteless and incideous rants about nothing....
...
he did what?
I know how he feels the curve... and yes, some of it is opinion, but he backs it up with facts as to why he likes the phone.
You just call it junk... with no reasoning for your comment.

i have reasons. It feels allot cheaper, the battery is not as good, and it came at a year ago on ATT. Thats what chris got pissed at that I said ATT had the phone a year ago.
...
well.. you like the centro and that came out a while ago... it feels cheap, and i'm sure its got about the same battery life... so? what's the difference?
...
i just feel like its a better phone. Its still not as good as ATT or sprints.
...
thank you for proving my point that you have no reasoning, merit, facts, or truths to back up a word you say... Hopefully Rich takes notice soon.
...
i know... but i consider chris a "class act" on this website and I'm tired of this sh**. And rich just won't do anything, so i guess i'll just talk to the guy.
...
yeah good luck man a troll is a troll, Chris is a big boy he can handle himself đ
...
You're not gonna mess up my rep in this forum. I have worked to hard to help people and provide value to this website for over four years. One worthless troll won't put a stop to that.
Actions speak louder than words my friend, and right now neither one is speaking very loudly for you. I hope your happy ruining a formerly great forum. Congrats buddy đ

im not ruining anything. From what I remember u dogged me on my first post chris. U say allot of good stuff but my man we feel different about the curve and u dogged me. U are right about one thing. verizon does have a good network. lets start over chris. PEACE
...
BB,
I have no problem with you not liking the curve. Its not for everyone. My problem is the way in which you post and start flame wars. Just starting adding constructive comments to these forums or please, just stop posting. Were all just sick of the nonsense

CHRIS CHRIS CHRIS -
I feel like I am adding constructive comments. People don't always have to take the same side.
examples
curve
rollover
Iphone
bad verizon phones
phones dont work in Europe
working for verizon
we don't have to agree on everything. this is how i feel

i get it....but you dont need to share the same old tired opinions every single freaking day! I'm done, i dont even know why I try sometimes. Have fun doing what your doing. Apparently the mods like people ruining their website.
Later guy.

then how come there are still repeat threads here like the hofo alltel/vzw poll which was posted by the same user 3 different threads in a row. Wouldn't that be considered trolling or am I wrong here? I still see the threads up, I would just like to know what really constitutes a troll here so I don't over-report đ
...
Exactly and I'm not even being a smart ass, I really would like to know too. I know it can be difficult and a gray area a lot of times, but some trolling seems so clear cut and is aloud to continue.

I call it ( and presumably the Mods call it spreading information about a buy out.
You call it trolling becasue its not a rah rah Verizon comment or reference. I am not rah rah VEriaon. I will share all the information that shows the OTHERside of Verizon. The dark side, The arrogant side,

You want to call it trolling go ahead. That word does not bother me, IN fact name calling roll off my back like water off a duck. So why bother?
I don't believe the mods saw those references as anything but sharing information. Just becasue you DON"T LIKE the information.....We thats too DAMM BAD. If its wrong REBUT it. Instead becasue you cannot rebut it you choose to mention Mom's basement and crap like th

Point taken. I will do my best to overlook the disruptive behavior of certain users that clog up the screen every day. Thank you for taking the time to give us all a heads up about people getting a Bad Start. Let's hope they listen to you as well.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

So when someone asked about the curve is the future are they going to be considered a troll because it was asked 2 days ago?
...
what.. don't act like a child
RICH... this is case in point everything that is wrong with this forum.
One post like this is ok, but 100 a day?

thats what your saying a troll is right??? u cant single one person out when everyone is doing it.

not everyone is doing it. I have been on this forum for a long time. yes trolls have come and gone, but never have i seen so much disruption form ONE user ever.

Stop whing and ust either answer the question make a comment based on the question or IGNORE the posters you don't like......IT' simple really
Whining to Rich is not going to help you with your frustration.

There is nothing wrong with a genuine negative opinion presented in a civilized way.
but it's not civilized that is what is causing the undo forum disruption imo.

u just don't like me because I feel differently on some issues. U also call avgjoe a troll because he think nokia is the best. come u guys. u just don't like it when people say things about vzw. come on

We all know you are aware of what you're doing, glad you're have so much fun.

I'm really not enjoying this. But I have to defend my self when tnt2k1 says go kill yourself. I think that is a troll
...
Just knock it off and redeem yourself then, when an entire forum is slamming you there is merit for doing so. Do you see any other users being treated this way? You created your own reputation, now prove us all wrong and show what kind of productive member you can be.
...
Don't u get it. If anyone says anything negative verizon u people go off on them.
...
well when you say anything negative you are usually wrong and thus those of us who care about the site are quick to correct you. Then you respond and respond and respond, even though you've been proven wrong 16 times... don't YOU get it?
...
he is just laughing his ass off at this point, lets just stop he is getting the attention he's seeking.

don't u get it. If anyone says anything negative people on this forum go off them. look at what u people say about avgjoe because he uses nokia

Nokia has NOTHING to do it. It's the inflammatory way he posts sometimes. We don't discriminate against Nokia users. You sure don't understand context.

Why should it matter what others think. OF COURSE when you have a negative opinion in a forum where fan boys reside...You are not going to win popularity contests. Thats not the point.
Productive does not mean LOVING VERIzON and drinking the KOOL-AID for some of us.
I believe Rich Brome understands that more than the three or four Verizon defenders who are who are constantly whining about me and anyone else who h...

Can you please drop this? Also you may want to read and pay attention to the post I left you at 12:46 today!
This is getting so old. I feel like I am dealing with a child!

i agree with you... but that "time to go" thread from pwfb sure became rather troll-like
...
I'm a verizon wireless employee just like some of u. avgjoe is no troll and bb2709 is not.
...
I think you're an ex employee. Or someone that knows someone that is an employee.
...
If you really are, frankly you should be fired. Im fairly sure there are rules against disparaging the companys image or acting in a way that embarrasses the company. You may want to check your code of conduct. Especially since you told everyone where you work.
...
Dude. With the amount you are posting, you are definitely not at work. and you do this everyday, which leads to believe that you are not a VZW employee. Especially since you claim you do this on a blackberry.
We aren't idiots here. A lot of us here are smart, professional individuals. If you truly want to reset and start over ... delete your account, start a new name, and be civil and intelligent instead of regurgetating BS.

Unfortunately, VERY!
Trolling is becoming an issue on almost every single forum.
HOFO and Sprintusers won't put up with what regularly goes on in here. While I welcome open discussions, it's very obvious that certain posters are using deceptive means to misrepresent who they are and what their intentions might be.
It would be sad to see PhoneScoop become a tabloid forum where the latest and greatest controversies are endlessly hashed out. âšī¸
