I like this thread. RVF has a fun culture, the first of the month humour being just one example of that.
I gotta say: I'm not sure exactly how Roosh and Tuth sniff out the trolls, but it seems to work. The quality of the posters here on RVF is super impressive to me.
Dealing with trolls is kinda like dealing with telemarketers. Staying on the phone and trying to rationally explain why you don't want to buy "credit card insurance" is a losing battle. They want to make their quota and its their job never to take no for an answer.
Trolls might range from subtle to obvious, but regardless, there will be no reasoning with them. Better to have a low tolerance for suspected troll and preserve the benefits of a community of like-minded men, without the distractions of those here only to nitpick.
Trolls should only exist for the entertainment of the active and contributing members. The moment a troll begins to enjoy themselves, the battle is lost. Better to just ban them up front the moment they begin to show their true colours and avoid the headache.
That said, I can't help but be super curious about exactly what went down with each banning. That's just because I'm a nosy asshole.
However, I want to echo some of the suggestions that we keep a record of the more interesting banned trolls for the general entertainment of the established membership. I think that this could make for some hilarious fun.

I'm actually surprised the trolling wasn't worse after all the feminine hate Roosh got last month and it's April 1st.

I was too polite to get banned. I mailed Roosh telling him I was using two names.
He asked me which one I wanted deleted
Too BETA to even get someone mad at me!!!

What if the trolls are trolling us by not trolling?

My favorite troll, thus far, was the one expounding the virtues of sofa beds.
I prefer a good 'ol murphy bed myself, but I weighed the good points and bad points of the presentation.

I'm not sure what Sharky did, but I was rooting for him to make it through. His stream of consciousness thread had some promise and he seemed like a bit of a character.

My opinion of Ukraine has really gone down, especially if you are an older guy (40+) . They are sort of like dumb versions of Russians.
You get more coarseness and paranoia, and far less respect in and understanding of high culture.
There's a reason why almost all the great Slavic composers and authors are Russian, not Ukrainian.
so how do we take advantage of theor "low brow" culture ?

Im wondering how May 1 will be for the forum? Roosh, you really haven't pissed anyone off (besides the usual) these past 30 days so Im wondering exactly what kind of trolling intensity will occur tomorrow. Maybe you and Tuthmosis might have a light day.

Hope not.

Well that wasn't much fun this month. It's almost like these reasonable moderation tactics are working or something.
