This really has turned into an interesting discussion, probably the most people we've had in one thread for a while.
Jez mentioned that trolls used to be chased off in the past by WF members, instead of relying on the mod team to remove them. I've been a member here for, must be around 4 years, maybe a little more now, and that's always been the case, at least as far as I've noticed. Most trolls get bored and eventually leave. Daz, and most of the other members here aren't in favour of heavy handed moderation. Indeed, the one time I got drunk and decided to delete a whole heap of crap a troll had posted, it wasn't well recieved at all. However, if someone is seriously bugging you on here, pissing you off with personal attacks, and leaking into other aspects of your life, then speak up about it. Don't just bite back, and complain that we've done nothing about it, but actually get in touch with one of the mods, and we'll see what needs to be done. Otherwise, you'll be treated like adults, who have the ability to communicate your thoughts and resolve conflicts.
It was WF that helped me make some new friends when I first started to discover the Perth matel scene. I loved the raw vibe that existed here, the conversations, the commnity and the abuse. WF is more than just a website, it is a legacy that will continue to leave it's mark on the local scene, regardless of which trolls are currently trying their luck.
I noticed just the other day a gig review was posted to the main site. It was great to see things like that are still happening. Jez's album reviews were always a good read. We've a lot of creative bastards around here, and we could do a lot more for the community if we put our minds to it.
