User blog:Rachim/Answers and Explanations

We need to deal with a serious problem that has been happening recently on chat. This last weekend I have come to witness a series of Internet Trolls on the Wikia's chat. Trolls are one who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument. An example was FabianRutter2434 who said he was asking out people on chat and flirting with them. Now this is the House of Anubis Wikia not a site where you meet other girls and ask them out. Plus we have had numerous amounts of users asking these personal repetitive questions to the users.

Some examples were:

 § Where are you from?

 § How old are you?

 § Shouldn't you be in school?

 § Can I be your friend?

 § What are you doing right now?

 § *User just joins chat* Excuse Me I'm new... Why did that person get banned? They seemed nice.
