    Default How to make new pips forum safe from Trolls?

    Anyone that gets out of line will not only be banned from the forum but they will also lose their pips account as well.

    Hello Bryan

    First off all , i thank you for updating all members here on Rolclub.
    However, trolls are willing to go to any length to know about pips activities. For them paying 450 usd is nothing. So i guess this plan is not so safe.

    These trolls seem to be realy dedicated to bring pips down.
    I think some of them will pay 450, if they already arent in pips, and Copy past all from your new forum to their forum, and do what they always do to "hack on pips".

    I request that you deal with this problem in some onther way.

    Regards

    hi admin!

    ....Principally, I agree with your ideas!...but it works only in theory!

    I have had several businesses that had a few partners investing heavily;...several hundred thousands USD each!
    Now, depending how you define trolls!...I would caraterize some of my partners as trolls!...and finally some of these businesses failed due to their troll behavour.
    I have a friend, a stinking rich one. He loves to invest heavily in startups and ventures. He always ends up in court with his partners and investments, and many of them collapse due to his troll-strategy!

    ...so I guess that Bryan will have a quite a difficult task to define who is a "friendly" investor and who is a troll!

    I have come across a investment concept that deals with this to a large degree!...but you will not easily find a vacine against "troll-free investors".

    If Bryan PM me, I will give him this information and the web-site.

    I don't feel like locking the membership is the proper thing to do because you'd be defeating the original purpose of Pips which was/is to help everyday people to rise to a better standard of living and to help other regular people to do the same.

    Based on his latest post, I think he's got the right idea. Limiting members to a monthly withdraw (at most) prevents the "rush the bank" approach that the greed merchants used to overload the system and bring withdraws down to a crawl. It also gives time for each member's activities to be monitored and attempts at fraud to be dealt with.

    If someone wants to spend the price of admission to cause problems, I believe they'll find it much harder to do this time around. Just my thoughts...

    Humbly yours,

    Everwiser

    OK but if we lock the membership and clean house that would help because the people that complained were members so you clean house and then when you open the doors to new members you make it harder for them to cause the same problems I don't know how that could be done but I'm sure BM could figure away for this to work. I just don't want anyone including BM to go through what we are going through right know.
    I hope BM brings PIPS back soon and we'll all get to have the greatest Xmas ever and I wish every one the best and MERRY XMAS.

    There's really nothing to stop the "purged" ones from finding ways back in either through alternate contact information or through accomplices. I'd leave it open and let the trolls hang themselves over time. Who knows, some of them, over time, may change their tune.

    Lastly, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or whichever holiday celebration you subscribe to. I too am looking forward to some good news.

    It seems to me that once BNm clears Pips/Picpay of any "wrongful acts" the real trolls (not people who asked questions, expressed worry, frustration, etc) but those who were truely making constant problems with the U.N., banks, etc., won't have much ammunition to hurt Pips anymore. Maybe I am missing something here...I never really thought that Pips members with $$ at stake were the big problem, that never made sense to me.

    My wish is to have Pips cleared by the end of next month and then there will be a lot of work to do so we can get WD's again... Hopefully by my bday in the merry month of May! That is my wish cause then I am giving it some time to get the job done and it helps me not be too anxious.... What can I say?

    I really never thought that anyone would have an issue with PIP's to begin with.

    What I've learned from all of this is that truly No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.

    The effort that Bryan and Sharon puts in on "All Of Our Accounts" is really something that everyone should deeply appreciate, not something that should be disected and criticized.

    I believe that we will see trolls no matter what, because some folks just don't appreciate things for what they are.

    We all need to show our support so that the program stays solid..

    They are doing this to help us all !!!

    That's just my 2 cents..

    Thanks for reading..

    Doug
