A Forum made for Forum Trolls

[Shawn Gossman]

What do you think about the idea of a forum niche for forum trolls?

A forum troll is someone who disrupts a forum. Some do it intentionally while others do it because that's how they behave, badly at that. Typically, we ban trolls to keep our forum from becoming significantly negative.

But what about making a forum dedicated to trolls. A free-for-all if you will. Join at your own risk because this is where the bad people are.

Of course, there would have to be some rules to protect yourself against liability and prosecution but for the most part, a lawless forum made for lawless people.

What do you all think about this kind of idea? Could you run a forum like this? Why or why not?

I'd name it "The Kids Table".

I think it would be an amusing forum to run, but I think it's something that probably wouldn't really be feasible in this day and age. I don't think there are as many forum trolls out there as there used to be, they're on Reddit and Discord now I think.

Didn’t Aws run one with Justbs? I think it could work well.

It would probably have to be a private forum meaning the content is restricted to registered and logged in members, only.

I could see a public troll forum becoming an issue enough where people start reporting it to your hosting service.

Maybe, make the titles visible (for hooks) and then requiring a login to see the rest.
