It only shows badly when summer hits and we have nothing else to debate except a FST-style "SEX IS BAD IF YOU DO IT FOR FUN!" thing or Karinizstan's religious bullshit. At least it's better to look at compared to the garish spam we get from these guys.
Aside from that, NSG is probably more judgmental to people that annoy them faster than any mod could be annoyed.

You've got it turned around - second came after first, iirc.
Means copied and pasted wholesale from elsewhere, with no input from poster. We frown on it.
We try to discourage it, hence ... why you may not see it so often.

Sorry to go off-topic, but what does "iirc" mean?

How does one get "sig-blocked"?
Why is "sig-blocked' a special group?

I have now raised this internally with the rest of the team.
I won't promise a specific course of action in advance, but we are looking closely at the issue.
I'd like to note for the record that I really do think that going ahead and adding euphemisms like 'Mr. Summertime Noposts' or 'Ah, summertime' to the existing rules won't help anyone. Given that it can take several hours for moderation to lock and/or review threads for evidence of trolling when reported in Moderation, escalation can become an issue in 'summertime' threads, leading to a lot more work for the mods when they do slog through the thread and a lot more warnings for the people who get baited into a heated argument with the day-old poster with a default flag and unpleasant views about immigrants.
Considering that said mods often complain (rightly so) about people 'feeding the troll' or about having to slog through said 30-page argument about how Hitler was actually on to something, perhaps it'd be better if posters - particularly considering that many posters here have been here long enough to recognize 'summertime' visitors - weren't completely barred from trying to point out to others that the poster with a default flag ranting about Obama might not be arguing in good faith.

More likely outcome? Thread goes sideways while the supposed troll questions what's happening. Don't believe me? Refer to my example from earlier.
Trolls want attention. They don't want to be treated as though they're honest posters (i.e. receive measured, thoughtful and substantiated rebuttal/commentary) and they don't want to be ignored. Calling them trolls or denizens of summer simply gives them what they want, sends the thread off track and accomplishes nothing productive (in fact, I contend such posts crowd out the sort we want).The Batorys wrote:IIRC and copypasta are used in a wide variety of online communities, actually.
NSG, F7, NS Summer and the acronyms/short forms of various posters (such as FST, TCT, ASB, Neo, Kare Bear etc.) are probably the only terms that NSG specifically has that aren't common to other online forums. Raiding/Defending and other gameside terms are a different matter of course... they are quite likely to be misunderstood in NSG as well.

If I ain't mistaken, didn't he constantly spam about some ridiculous revolution against Max Barry and constantly complain about the mods?
