A few days ago I found out that Amy became a troll. She used to be one of the most respected people here. She is now hanging out with homophobic, racist, consipracy-theory-believing trolls. To go to the community that she is now on, click on this link. https://worstjokesever.com/community
OUT WITH THE TROLLs
This post may include affiliate links.
A message from Cosmo:
1. Do not fight back with insults
2. Fight back with compliments, and stay in control of the narrative
3. Do NOT make it personal.
4. Remember: inside every troll, there is a human being
5. Do not respond with snarky comments
6. If there are multiple trolls together who are in control of the narrative, ask questions.
7. If you knew a troll who used to be an anti-troll, try to remind them of who they are.
8. Respond with good manners: if someone says kys, say no thank you.
9. Comment in a neutral manner.
10. If someone is getting cornered and pushed to their limits, immediately intervene. But only intervene by conversing with the victim in a casual manner.
11. REMEMBER: conversing like the trolls can cause you to become a troll. Anger causes more anger.
12. REMEMBER: trolls are insecure. They cover up their insecurities by bullying others due to their insecurities.
13. REMEMBER: the best way to help a troll about their insecurities is by making them talk about their insecurities.
14. Try to stay away from troll wars, unless necessary. Examples: attempting to reclaim a community; attempting to integrate a non-troll community into a troll community; trying to stop a troll from pushing one’s limit, etc…
15. REMEMBER: trolls can be extremely stubborn pricks. They stick to their opinions because they truly believe that they are correct.
A community is like an olive tree. It can be used for good or evil. It can be turned into sword handles, fences, stakes, cages, torture weapons, and more. Communities can be evil.
But it depends on perspective. Olive trees are more than just the evil that can be created from them.
If you look at a slice of olive wood, you see one of the most beautiful woods ever. The inside of olive trees represents the deep beauty inside a community. If you look at the outside of an olive tree, it looks extremely ugly. But it is an ordered ugliness. And if you look long enough, it looks beautiful.
The beauty of society does not come from a glance but from a long study of its outer structure.
Now, the roots. The roots expand far and wide. Everybody in a community has their roots.
Back to the wood. Wood is one of the most used building materials for thousands of years. Wood can be used to build houses, bridges, paper, scaffolding, paintbrushes, bowls, and so much more. The wood of an olive tree also represents the expansive dedication and versatility of a community. And the roots support us far and deeply.
And the care we put into olive trees. It takes a lot of nurturing and dedication to grow olive trees. With dedication and sacrifice of resources, comes a good and beautiful(ish) tree.
And finally, the fruit. The olive is one of the most important fruits in society. It can make olive oil, a flammable liquid. It has been in many societies. Myths have sprouted around it. And most importantly, olives are the fruit that brings more olive trees. A community influences those around it and plants the fruits for more communities. I planted my olive into the WJE, and a community will rise. That community is us, pandas.
Wait. No. We will not fight them. There is one more part of olive trees: the olive branch. The olive branch is a symbol of peace We will extend an olive branch. -Cosmo, bp member. Let the community that olive (pun intended) grow!
The downvote fairies are already carving them into pointed sticks :(
Amy is pretty annoying
yeah she is. she used to be such a nice person tho. idk how long u've been around here but hey :) nice to meet ya. she welcomed me onto this site and she was so kind and friendly. a lot of this stuff happens around here and the only thing we can do is pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and stay with the folks who are nice to us. just ignore her now.
Help, the downvote fairies are here! Please try to upvote the comments.
i think we just downvote and ignore, and contact bp staff
regardless of person. theres nothing we can do guys but be passive.
sorry u guys. but i feel this is the best approach
I think Amy was just banned, her apology has been deleted from this post.
wait could someone tell me the whole story? i was pretty good friends with amy and she even welcomed me here when i first joined
:(
So, Amy went on this community, (link in description) that was full of some of the worst trolls I have ever seen. Among them were toast, and wade. Amy, at some point, I don’t know when exactly, Amy became friends with the 2. I came along, made a “controversial” post, and found out the hard way that Amy became a troll. I then committed an old-Amy mistake and got into an online argument which almost cornered me. I then made this post, and told that troll-munity that I made it. Wade(I’m just gonna call him dp for simplicity) then swore to ban all bp accounts that came to the WJE. He already banned approximately 10 of my accounts. And my ips for a few hours.
Who was the old Amy? And what happened? I am still very new here...
Welcome! I love your pfp. People, I understand being disappointed with Amy as I’m still pretty shocked. But please don’t downvote her when she isn’t trolling, unless “soup” has some hidden meaning I’m not aware of.
I think that they all are going through something and just need to be ignored. the last time this happened, they all eventually went away so hopefully that will happen this time. just downvote and ignore. i know it’s hard, but im hoping that this will work out.
it makes me mad honestly because wtf has this turned into :(
ik, i remember when some of the sweetest people joined/welcomed me on here, and now they're trolls :(
Only joined a couple months ago. Disappointed to see the trolls, but also feel kinda bad for them because I don't think they realize what they're doing. Saw some of amy's old comments and was trying to figure out how such a genuinely nice and all-around amazing person ended up with that community. Heartbreaking really. Hopefully they all realize the harm they're causing and try to stop it. Best wishes to everyone.
Yup. she used to be angel, and then came along the trolls.
"12. REMEMBER: trolls are insecure. They cover up their insecurities by bullying others due to their insecurities."
Now that's just wrong
Unfortunately this message can’t be seen by Cosmo so there’s no point in saying it here
I'm back again, also, why would I be insecure being a normal human.
Wow I dont know the BP community at all. I need to get to know u all better :3. Im sorry abt what happened w amy tho. I didnt know her all that well but it seemed totally out of character for her.
