- elboru 13y agoI think there's a big difference between making fun, sarcastic, or clever "trolling" comments, and making stupid nonsense pure trolling comments.
- MartinCron 13y agoWhat provides entertainment value to "sometimes" trolls is pollution to everyone else. May I suggest that you find a better hobby?
- pgrote 13y agoI don't understand your point. The ability to comment is provided along with the method of voting them up/down and hiding them. Do you really think that forcing a G+ account to comment will make things better? I had a similar thought when our local paper started using Facebook accounts for comments. My thought, "If people use their real names ..." It didn't happen. Stupid people will post stupid things. It's up to those who want valuable comments to weed through them.
- MartinCron 13y agoStupid people will post stupid things. It's up to those who want valuable comments to weed through them. I wasn't talking about stupid people posting stupid things (although that is a distinct problem). This is about trolls posting provocative things specifically to provoke drama and outrage. What is entertainment value for trolls is noise to everyone else.
- yareally 13y agoThere's still plenty of asinine comments in the Android Marketplace after Google forced G+ for ratings/reviews there. Only thing it has done is make it easier to track down bad reviewers if you're a developer to get more feedback for the negative reviews that look like they might be helpful.
