I'm a moderator on a website which caters to anarchists, dissidents, travelers and alternative types. I am impressed with the amount of bull**** which goes on here at times as it makes that other website look very civil in comparison.
The "no trolling" rule here is like the "don't be a dick" rule there except there it is enforced, virtually eliminating asshattery.
I'm not sure why it is tolerated here, but I can imagine there are choke good people who would like to participate but don't. Instead, they glean useful little tidbits without offering anything in return (not even cash to keep the site running). I can't blame them, it iis what they are comfortable with.
