I've been this close to dropping the ban hammer on all of the above more than once.

You know the reality is that you don't want to get rid of the trolls.... Because if you did you wouldn't make a post publicly for everyone to see... saying "trolls to get rid of" This isn't a democracy we aren't going to vote on it. Patrick/other staff get rid of users at there digression. So for you to make a post about it is rather pointless. What would be more effective, is if we as a community stop giving them the attention they want and they will stop trolling simple as that. But making a post such as this is completely opposite of that, why would these trolls stop trolling when other users are talking about them? See how this isn't effective.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.

Seriously, the trolling is really hurting this community...I'm guilty of this too - I wrote a couple of obviously sarcastic posts about prestige being more important than anything else / comparing GS TMT to MS M&A as a way to make fun of some of the ridiculously skewed views on this forum but I guess it turned out poorly

But the "u jelly" posts that derail entire threads meant to inform and turn potentially useful threads into shitshows and the constant bashing of various banks (which can actually skew a kid's perception of which firms to choose for an internship/full-time) is really detracting from the community. I guess i'm being hypocritical here but I'm stopping my trolling posts on here since it seems I'm contributing to the negativity instead of making fun of it (which I was trying to do). WSO has helped me tremendously in finding a job/doing well on the job (been using it since soph year and has helped me find multiple internships/jobs) for which I'm really grateful, and I do want to contribute to it in a positive manner

Lol. I hate to admit it, but the phrase "u jelly?" always makes me laugh. I love the lingo that people make up...

duke is the only one that really needs to go... the others are like sort of... thoughtful trolls. To some degree.

Agreed.

Unless the trolling is egregious (racist, hateful, or spamming) I don't advocate the banning of any of them. The new BIastoise aka biastoise is annoying but its not a huge deal. Last troll (not spammer) that I remember banned is mark klein md and he ended up getting reinstated and simply doesn't post on here anymore. While this may seem a good outcome, some trolls are funny IMHO as long as they don't cross a line or repeatedly bash users, spam, etc.

Reality hits you hard, bro...
 

Am I the only one that this the trolls are funny? Someone just asked if HBS is still prestigious, that is fucking hilarious. Come on, this is some of WSO's charm IMO, that is, ridiculous prestige whore high school students willing to take a chubby (Source: Arrected Development)) for a spot with GSTMT,MSM&A, etc. Can't everyone just filter threw the bullshit and enjoy?

Seriously. These guys are completely worthless and derail a lot of what could be quality threads. Please get rid of them.

Hi, Eric Stratton, rush chairman, damn glad to meet you.
 

Hey dukeduke, boutiquebank4life already caught the ban hammer square in the face. Something tells me you're next.

I for one love to point the trolls out, while the trolls them selves are funny what I find really funny are people on here who think the trolls are real and then want to bash their heads into their desks for being so stupid.

The problem with banning them is that they would simply come back with new screen-names, and we wouldn't know who they are. (maybe not dukeduke, who is nice enough to not hide). At least now we know they are trolls. I have to say, I also laugh when I see "you jelly?" but I do have a problem with clearly bad advice being given to new users.

It would be nice to have a 3-tier system - certified users, regular users, and trolls (as denoted by a monkey shit instead of a star - or something along those lines). Or some way to keep newbies from listening to these idiots.
