@Moooosey

I doubt Miraheze has the proper tools for it, either.

Besides, the more I think about it, the more I am convinced that the only viable solution could come from the human factor in the community. Technical tools like blocks and deletions are great supplementary tools, but they won't be enough anywhere.

And speaking of the human factor, there is something that Edwin had written which I feel to be quite relevant to getting the proper perspective on the current situation. I'm sure he didn't mean it that way, but that just makes the irony of his statement even more worthy of a reply:

@Edwin

"In 4 decades, where will you be? How about a century?"

Dunno. How about you, Edwin?

Where will you be in 4 decades? Would you still be trolling and making a fool of yourself? Or would you finally snap out of it and start making actual progress in your life?

My goodness, I just realized that you'd be older than I am now. Terrifying thought, ain't it? Just imagine: A wannabe psychopath nobody wants to be around, broken, old and alone. Is that the future you want for yourself?

Luckily this future isn't set in stone. You can change. The question is: are you willing to do that? Or will you continue on your current path of self-destruction?

And what about a century from now? If you believe in an afterlife, where do you think you'll end up with your kind of behavior? The nice place, or the... other place? I'm sure you can figure out that one by yourself. And if you don't believe in an afterlife, what will your legacy on earth be? What will be written on your tombstone?

These are excellent questions for a person to ask themselves - at any age. It's too bad that you could only see them as a weapon for trolling, instead of grasping their true power.

So let me ask you again:

"Edwin, in 4 decades, where will you be? How about a century?"
