Agreed. Which the trolls have been doing.
Ok. So, 'zombie thread bumping ' has the potential to disrupt the board.Had anyone disregarded my plea in red and continued to play zombie thread to control the front page, I would have invoked UR8.
So it seems the troll's actual 'disruption of the board' cannot be dealt with in the same manner you dealt with the potential for Philo's strategy to also disrupt the board.
So you red-fonted Philo, because you thought he would comply, but you won't red-font the trolls, because they will be triggered and refuse to comply. This is my assessment of what you are saying, so my opinion, only. But it's not coming across as consistent.On top of that, the red notice itself would be reinforcement of behavior that I try to avoid reinforcing. So, although I certainly could do as you suggest, I don't think it would be effective in terms of rules enforcement.
