This forum post has now been taken away from its original purpose. I’d like to bring it back and have it acknowledged that the rules state no trolling and yet Adam has been allowed to turn this forum into his own playground of trolling with no consequences.

This is simply untrue. I don’t believe I have called anyone a troll, if I have, then I regret that because that is generally not my style outside a forum topic to specifically discuss trolling. My comments normally relate to topics where I differ in opinion and where I can bring an actual fact based argument or evidence. I also don’t know Wenzel. Maybe I agreed with his views on occasion. Certainly not all of them. And certainly only on topics where I have some background to contribute.

I honestly appreciate your Meta-rant-post about meta-ranting on the forums. To be honest I am yet to see anything meaningful to be contributed here by you or Wenzel or Snoopy. All I see is you calling out and pointing others because you find it uncomfortable to read mean words but have no issues with encouraging and supporting scams/rugs
There are so many spam posts here by these few people who are just posting verbal slop on the forums. Have you ever tried summarizing your topics to a few bullet point or being clear and concise? If I wanted to look at Slop non stop I would go to Twitter and look at Slop there.
Maybe just let people use their free-speech instead of thought-policing like wenzel or snoopy?

The forum isn’t a “free speech” platform like twitter. There are rules and guidelines to follow and enforce.
I would suggest the trolling moves there and leaves the forum all together

And I would suggest you to stop defending rugs and the swamp
That isn’t for you to decide. Even Twitter has rules if you are not aware of it. You want people to discuss governance here, and you come and say this? Irony.
Not once did I defend a scam. That is just wrong.
My whole issue is seeing someone break rules regularly and not being held accountable. Now you are 3 days old here so I understand you might not know how the forums have been abused by regular users before but each of those users have been banned and censored. But with Adam Dfinity is giving him free reign to act out as he pleases under posts that have nothing to do with the hotornot scam.

No I’m not getting any special treatment. It’s hard to find a post of mine that hasn’t been flagged by Wenzel, Snoopy and all their flying monkeys and alternate accounts.
Please focus on the threats to the IC, not trying to censor the people fighting against those threats.

I have never flagged anyone’s posts. Not yours nor others’. I am all for free speech. But free speech also requires a certain amount of decorum. A forum thrives on openness, not dominance. If we keep treating dialogue like a fight, people stop showing up, and this is not what will drive us forward as a community. And if anyone saw the need to create an alternate account, this might be a direct consequence of the latest atmosphere on the forum.

So not because you’re part of this corruption and want to hide your identity? I thought it was that but if it’s because of the “atmosphere” then I apologise.

I believe there is going to be an official update on this soon as the rules need to be more clearly defined, along with possible penalties for breaking the rules.
The nature of the IC means that we have a lot of people who are on the spectrum, highly intelligent and passionate. That is not a bad thing and I am not criticising that in any way. It is just unrealistic to expect everyone to always agree. There should be disagreements, which are allowed to be openly discussed without being flagged.
Flags should be used for activities that break the rules, not for opinions that you do not feel should be expressed.
Also this is not specifically Developer forums, these are forums for all of the IC ecosystem. That is why there are different sections.
If you wish to only interact with developers, you should probably bookmark this URL which would ensure that you can easily focus on developer related discussions.

We need an “Autism DAO”, it has the potential to create a lot of positive impact.

Do you think what Adam has been posting on here has not broken any rules?
Trolling btw is specifically against the rules of this forum. If you hadn’t seen what he’s posted under the Kong swap update I can give you a rewrite of a few posts.
Adam you did great posting about hotornot.
Your trolling has gotten out of hand and your witch hunt on other people and projects have made you act childish and rudely to those that also wish to protect and participate in the ic. There are times and places for things. If you wish to troll or be a child go into your own servers or twitter. Here should not be your place to trash the community and or troll.

Hmmm you are speculating so I should flag you
Let me ask this, without Adam and Thyassa posting in the way they have what would have been done? Up to this point nothing had been done. And that would have likely continued.
The degree of “trolling” thats has accused is only due to there actually being fraudulent projects and people trying to get it sorted out. If there was some due process where we could get these sorts of things dealt with quicker then there would be no need to make these more passionate posts on here.

The trolling needs to stop. He doesn’t need to be posting drunken forums on making his friend ceo, he doesn’t need to be talking about bribing Jordan under kongs q1 update. He has mocked the forums enough and it’s time to stop.

So trolling is worse than dodgy projects killing the ecosystem? Imaging you have put 100k’s ICP into these projects, you would probably want to troll as well…
Money doesn’t mean rules do not apply.
There are plenty of platforms he can troll on including his own discord server

Rules are not more important than sorting out fraud.
