If you do encounter any trolls, ignore them, don't talk back to them - this could get you into trouble as well. If you just ignore them, they'll get bored and leave.

6. Moderator's and Administrator's words are final. If you wish to argue, at least do in a civilized way either by PM or the chatbox - don't post in the forums and cause drama. Its okay to disagree to mods but do not criticize their decisions. 15% Warning- arguing with mods.
