To maybe illustrate the problem Argent Dawn currently faces a bit more in detail:
Someone makes a friendly-natured thread, sharing how much they enjoy their time within the community and urging people to be more compassionate. Of course it’s a bit cringy, but I think it’s done in a really sweet way.
You can read it here: Denouncing Perroy and The Rotgarde
Then, after people joined in a bit, had a bit of fun someone rushes in to take a snipe at the thread opener’s guild. Denouncing Perroy and The Rotgarde - #18 by Zhongdae-argent-dawn
Of course people flag the post and all, but it’s not a perfect solution, the thread derails afterwards. A thread that was done in a completely innocent spirit turns sour. And there are many other occasions like this happening on the Argent Dawn forums in an almost similar manner. And as Fairbanks pointed out the bans that are handed out are easily circumvented for the most dedicated trolls.
I know there is no easy solution to this and nothing really comes to mind for me for how to solve it instantly, but it’s still a pretty dissatisfying situation overall, especially because it has been like this for a while.
