How do you feel about questions that clearly should be modded?

If it’s clearly a troll, you mess with them.

If it’s not a troll, you mess with them.

I completely agree with Eambos, I just love messing with people like that. :)

Now, I’ll chuckle, and then it’s on to the next. I’ve only answered one troll’s question since I’ve been here that got me a lot of lurve while it was still up!

I might respond with a smart remark, but I usually flag the question too.

I’m not one for the monkey shines here so I just ignore them until they’ve been removed.
You people really need to grow up.

Ha! Ha! You’re so funny AC, WE need to grow up? :)

Recently i’ve found Ive been on the iPhone when I spot these questions so all I’ve been able to do is make smart remarks.

Flag it and move on. Lif’e’s too short to spend time on trolls.

Then again sometimes I just can’t help taking a bite out of em.

I feel that your definition of “clearly should be modded” does not at all necessarily agree with mine.

@MrItty: Who are you talking to? I didn’t give a definition…

How do I feel about such questions? I generally feel as though they should be modded.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun, first.

[Mod says] Flag, flag, flag! Mod eyes can’t be everywhere at once, so we count on you to bring things to our attention. Thank you.

Katawa, that’s kinda my point. There is no definition of what “clearly should be modded”. What you think should be modded isn’t necessarily what I think. What I find inappropriate, you might not.

Lets give an example: Say a question is asked about a company being “gay.” I think that we can all agree that this is a question that clearly should be modded. Within said question, we should troll the troll has he attempts to troll us, without him realizing that we are the ones who are trolling.

Fun first, then flag: that’s my motto!

@MrItty: I was referring to questions that blatantly violated the terms of service. For example, one that has a swear word in the question and is written by an 11-year-old (not to mention all the stuff Eambos said:P).

I attempt to throw in a sarcastic jab every now and then to those kinds of questions. There was a couple of occasions of late where I finished formulating an answer and when I tried to submit it, there was a message saying that the question was being moderated and I should browse around and come back later. It was like immediately after the question was asked, practically. Anyone ever experience that?

@Bluefreedom – Yup. Earlier today, in fact.

@Darwin. I’m glad I’m not the only one then. And it’s a little disappointing too because some of my sarcastic, off the cuff answers in those instances are pretty good also.

@Bluefreedom – I know what you mean. All those intellectual gems wasted.

You guys somehow managed to make me feel bad about removing the crappy questions you would otherwise complain about if I/we had left up.

@omfgTALIjustIMDu. I apologize then. I wasn’t trying to make anyone feel bad and I rarely complain about any specific questions on Fluther. I just wish some of my ‘intellectual gems’ (as @Darwin so aptly put it) stayed up long enough for everyone to enjoy. I’m shameless today, by the way.

@Bluefreedom, Haha no worries, I was just joking around :)

I haven’t had a question removed in a long time, I feel I have failed, or maybe I have matured somewhat. Nah, must be that I have failed. sigh
