I sent a DC Mail to the admin but the my connection went screwy and i'm not sure if he got it or not so:

I think THE best way to reduce troll account being made on this site is to restrict new members from making ratings and reviews for at least 1 or 2 days.

If they have to wait each time they want to troll then they wouldn't even bother.

Does anyone agree this would be a good idea?

That doesn't prevent account creation though. They can still spam the forums as they wish.

So someone makes a troll account, waits a week, then bombards a bunch of games with zeros before it's banned.

No intention to sound rude, but I highly doubt it would work.

Trollers are very impatient people, i know you don't mean to be rude.

And you weren't being rude anyway... but i still think its worth a shot.

You could make it so accounts with no activity get deleted, but there is a restriction on specific uses.

Really, just about any efforts to stop trolling by changing the system will be defeated. People can evolve past and defeat any system you make.

You can stop trolling by making an environment where trolling can't survive.

The best way to reduce troll accounts would be to disable account creation.

Of course, that would also mean no new members.

A compromise would be to allow new members only by invite from existing members. If the new member misbehaves, the inviting member gets a warning for it.

Do we really want a closed system like that though?

Yeah, that's what I think too.

The best way of dealing with trolls is ignoring them. Then they get bored.

Actually, I have an idea as well. If you download a game,you are given the option to initially Rate AND Review. If you do not, neither will be given. Also, there should be a anonymous group of review personell, to scan for bogus reviews. If you try to download, or review another game, you will be reminded of the last game you downloaded. You are told you cannot review another game until you have reviewed the one your assumed to be currently playing. If you decide to not review, then no rating or review will be given. In other words, you must rate, and review at the same time.

These are very excellent examples by other people and are very informative.

TBH I thought "trolling" could be done by anyone, and it was just like spamming and basically living in the forums?

Why can't we do a system that gives more voting power to people who have a higher reputation. Reputation could be judged by time here, and valid content submitted. (If your content such as games, articles, and so on... receive good feedback, your reputation goes up.)
