| How To Deal with Trolls (and other nuisances) [WIP] |

This is the thread for ideas to handle a troll or some other annoyance. Feel free to give your own ideas, and I hope it helps you all.
Rule 1 - DON'T FEED THE TROLLS
We all know the golden rule of fighting trolls is to never feed them. Trolls live off anger, and letting them die off is the best course of action. The best way to prevent feeding a troll is to remember that everything they say about you is just to annoy you, and most likely not true. Keeping this in your head will help you stop from getting angered.
Rule 2 - Leave It to the Mods and Report the Troll
Mods are the best people for dealing with the trolls. You may be a master at debating, but the mods are the only ones who can actually get rid of them. If you truly think they are trolling and a mod hasn't stopped them yet, you can always report them.
Rule 3 - Don't Troll Back
(thanks, sowsow12345)
It's not a good idea to rage at trolls, but don't do the opposite of that either. This will only get you both in trouble. Also, don't be a troll in the first place. Trolling is never good, okay?
It's not a long list, but this is still a work in progress.
Big thanks to SoosUnknown and Arson Sasport for helping me with this.

Hey there!
Welcome to the team, MysterySeeker and SoosUnknown!
I'm sure both of you will do a great job at keeping the forum a fun
place for everyone to be in :)

First off, I am very sorry for my long absense.
Most of you probably know how life gets sometimes, and lots of things happened that distracted me from the boards. I finished school, had to find a job, and now that I have a job I work full time from mondays to fridays and I cannot be online on weekends very much due to real life reasons.
As the time of absense became longer and longer, so did my "fear" of coming back to find you guys angry at me for leaving - but as I can see, FloatingEyeball has been taking VERY good care of you guys when I couldn't. Thank you for that!
Since I have been gone for quite a while, I am currently taking some time to get used to the forum interface again. As of now, I managed to fix a few broken images, changed the forum background color a little and added a fixed maximum signature size of 700x300 pixels. I am serry if you had a big signature that will now be cut off in posts, but the pixel limit was established in the forum rules from the very start - signatures that are too big can hinder everyones reading experience and make the board very cluttered very soon. I hope you'll all find nice new siganures that fit the size limit!
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I am looking into finding more people to help moderating the forums because I still won't be able to become fully active again, but don't want to leave you guys deserted.
We'll figure things out! Thank you for reading this.
~Feyrah

As DreamDemon has pointed out, we've been having a few threads with repeated topics lately, so I'm going to be merging the posts in the newer/shorter ones with the others.
For threads with polls on them that were made to continue something, such as the new moderator and shack award threads, I will not move those, but any polls after that should be posted in the original thread instead, and the votes PMed or posted in there. (it also allows you to have more options)

This is for newcomers who are unaware of this forum's culture. Basically, people say stuff, and I add it to a giant forum metalist. Everything is in the first post. Wanna add? Then post ur stuff.
Most frequent during the hiatus of summer '13. Generally seen at IRC and laughing at everyone.

BLARG: Local Kook
He once showed up to the forum and commented on everything in the new posts because it was cool flowing up his post count. He then joined the Bugtropolis crew and was subsequently fired by the head guy. He then disappeared for several months then showed up again. Then he disappeared again, and turned up once more. And he's back for good now, trust him. He is a prominent user and is widely respected for...... I dunno. Anyway, he'll do something great one day. One day he will. Trust me.
He is very into Super Mario and Gravity Falls, and has lots of connections with other users here. He is very upbeat and tries his best to keep everyone as happy as he can.

CodeDecoder is a strange, strange, creature, who lurks on the forum all hours of the day and the night. It is known by other users for its signature, stating that Alex Hirsch approves all of its posts. This is entirely possible, and may explain why CodeDecoder rarely posts. It has been reported by inside sources that CodeDecoder is in fact an exact clone of Grenda from Gravity Falls.
Contributed by CodeDecoder
daJoschi is a shack user, who can be very random sometimes. He likes to talk about Cartoons (espechially 2010+ Cartoons). He seems also be an IT Geek and is every time ready to talk about computer technology stuff etc. Cause he can't really talk about cartoons and IT Stuff in RL because he think, that he is annoying his surroundings, so he like to talk in the Shack, because no one seems to be annoyed from him.

Darth_Vader: Figuring things out
Darth_Vader joined this forum in January 2015. She was shy to join in on the forum's community, and became a rather sporadic poster as a result. Darth_Vader soon became more and more involved in the community, and is now a daily visiter. She can usually be found browsing Random Stuff or Usergames, but does discuss the fandom and episodes at times. She is often easily confused, has no idea what the Synctube is, and doesn't get technology lingo or acronyms. Often begs for Stanford Pines to be turned back from gold. Tries to end arguments but fails. Finally has a custom title. She is a writer, and has several works published on this site. Is a very open person. Makes bad at will.

Super chill and awesome guy. Very into of Metal, NASCAR and wrestling.

DuckHuntDog, more commonly known as "DuckHunt", joined the forum at the end of 2014. He is a nice member of the Shack and usually praises people's work, including fanfiction, fanart, and other things. He is also known to be obsessed with older video games. Despite being a relatively new member, he is on good terms with most users, the most notable being Neighbor9.
Contributed by DuckHuntDog TheDocofEternal, often referred to as Doc or Docco, is a current and active user. He's known to reference, make threads on, or just post about many older (nostalgic) things. During his time here, he has made friends (or at least acquainted himself with) most of the active users today. He's friends with JoKeR, DuckHuntDog, Neighbor9, Evadren, MysterySeeker, DrKillPatient, Valerie_Faller, and Razi (which is no longer a common user.)
Contributed by TheDocOfEternal
FunnyFany isn't actually funny, although she tries way too hard to be (she still didn't learn that random differs from funny). Previously an insignificant theorist and analyst in the Brazilian MLP community, her character analysis skills have been proved useless in the Gravity Falls universe.
She also doodles fanart sometimes and is obsessed with a band called They Might be Giants, going as far as mentioning them or referencing at least one of their songs in almost every comment.

ICouldntThinkOfAName (AKA WaR.O.B) is a very active user who is a big fan of Wario and Project M. He mostly posts in the random section, and talks to JoeKarta and Dimmu Pines a lot. He enjoys chatting with other users and talking about games.
Also, JoeKarta is a scrub
Contributed by ICouldntThinkOfAName
JoeKarta was once known as JoKeR. DocofEternal, Ontheceiling and ICouldn'tThinkOfAName are cool people according to him. He loves Rhythm Heaven.
To this day he is still very active, and is mostly posting in the "Random" section.

Laughing Hyena joined in 10-12-2014, but was also a visiting lurker for some time before then. Hyena became aware of the forums due trying to find more chapters to Mairzy Doats's 'His Name was Billy Mischief' since Hyena reads a ton of fanfiction. Since becoming a member, Hyena likes to theorize with other members in the conspiracies section.
Hyena is also among the much older fans of Gravity Falls, so she has seen a lot in various other fandoms she was an active member of.
Hyena is also very well known in the Rage CCG community as an artist and card trader/collector.

Mabel-icous is a veteran of sorts on the forum, having joined back in July 2013. She is one of the very few members of her time to still be active around these parts. A (mostly) serious and dorky girl, she is very passionate about her interests, including her number one show, Gravity Falls. She loves to discuss and gush over her favorite characters and episodes with everyone else, as well as suffer at the wrath of Alex Hirsch. More of a loner, she isn't as involved in forum matters as everyone else, but she is kind and friendly to most everyone and will engage in shoutbox conversations often.
She has a hard time recognizing her talent, but she's an excellent artist and fanfic writer. (and a huge procrastinator)
Contributed by Mabel-icious (with small edit from Floating Eyeball) Magpie, formerly known as GravityFallsGirl has been an active Shack user for over a year and a half - well, she spent half of 2016 inactive, but anyway, she's back now. She likes Gravity Falls, cats, magpies, RPing, Star Wars, Coldplay, The Cat Empire, Steven Universe, Gruen and cartoons in general, as well as other stuff. She tends to post a lot about Australian TV shows and celebrities and is a fan of Todd Sampson. She is also an INTJ and can sometimes be an asshole, but most of the time she's fairly friendly - over the internet, at least. She codes and makes graphics, and is a complete geek. Also an active user of sarcasm and a firm believer in logic.
Contributed by Magpie MysterySeeker is a moderator on the forum who is part of the Mystery Trio. He is German and has the most posts in the forum. He joined in summer of 2013, however he only became active in spring 2014. Since than, he has posted pretty much every day and was, together with SoosUnknown, made into a moderator. In the Modstopper 2 usergame, he's the equivalent to that boss no one can beat unless they spend hours playing in two-player mode.
Temporarily took the names Floating Eyeballs, MysteryCheeker and MysteryCreeper.
Contributed by MysterySeeker & Ayaze The Mystery Trio was a group that consisted of KingOfStickers, MysterySeeker, and ValerieFaller. SoosUnknown was the unofficial fourth member of the group.
It was created since the members joined the forum, or became active again, around the same time. However, KoS soon became inactive, and the Mystery Trio disappeared.

Neighbor9, mostly referred to as Neighbor, plagued the forum joined the forum in early 2015. He enjoys watching Ninja Turtles and GF episodes, reading book series such as The Last Apprentice and Narnia, and drawing. He's also speaking to himself in third person right now,so there's that.
He's mainly buddies with DuckHuntDog, Doc, and Laughing Hyena,though he trys to scar maintain a friendly report with every user. His welcoming phrase is,"Welcome to the shack,Bub!", because wolverine references RULE!
Contributed by Neighbor9
Ontheceiling, more commonly known as OTC, to his slight chagrin, is a user that was briefly banned for being just a little too trollish. About a week later, he came back on fussing up a slightly smaller storm, then left due to "personal troubles". He hates (?) several other users, but will deny it if you ask. Aspires to pick apart Gravity Falls, the forum, and any notions that he's just as much of a random jerk as when he first joined. Also the main operator of the usergame/roleplay hybrid Montsborough.
But then again, the stuff he says in the shoutbox is pretty open to interpretation...
Contributed by Ontheceiling
Razi was a dedicated member to the shack, wasting all of his days online. He is famous for apologizing and expressing inks with multiple sentences. A lot. He writes fanfiction and does mediocre fanart but mostly just likes to sit around and talk. His profile pic is colorful and he like science fiction. All of it. He is also a member of the wholock and tfios fandoms.
Supposedly, his mother did not allow him visit the forum anymore. He did return in march 2015, but only for a short while.
Contributed by Razi & MysterySeeker
ThaShackCat, like many other Fallers, is a paranoid conspiracy theorist who's more than little insane. He posts in all of the Mystery-Shack forums, most often in Conspiracies and Random Stuff. ThaShackCat is relativitaly well known, espicially for his "Burning Pines" theory. (He thinks.) He is obsessed with Gravity Falls, World of Warcraft, and cats of all kinds. ThaShackCat also enjoys chatting with other users and cats. Did I mention cats?

Smebulock Senior is a self-proclaimed madman who carefully scans every episode for theories but can never find any.He posts in the conspiracies section the most and read books like Lord of the Rings at age 10.His catchphrase is SHMEBULOCK..SENIOR.

sowsow12345 is a lowkey emo teenage loser. She tries her best but she doesn't succeed and, though she is rarely ever active, can be found in Random Stuff and sometimes the Discord or CyTube. sowsow likes alternative bands and other trashy things, save for herself. (She refers to herself as garbage but has too little self-esteem to appreciate her own trashiness.) She makes grammatical mistakes because of her crap computer and sometimes disappears for several months at a time for screwed-up personal reasons. She's also terrible at bio-type things, but hopes this one is at least sub-par.
contributed by sowsow12345 SoosUnknown is a moderator. His catchphrase is,
I am a pie disgused as a octopus disguised as a human.
Contributed by Ayaze & SoosUnknown
In 2016, TanookiNick joined the forums extremely late. Known for his general badness and failed shitposting attempts, he's usually more active on the Universe Reborn and Count To A Million threads than others.
Contributed by TanookiNick
The Funny Trio is supposed to be as a parody of the Mystery Trio. The members are daJoschi, Boom !!! and Hanaurie. Dimmu Pines is the unofficial forth member to fit in the parody. Their destiny is to be funny and silly
Valerie_Faller is the only female member of the Mystery Trio. She loves video games, music and theories, amd a self-described conspiracy theorist. She is very enthusiastic.
Together with KoS, she disappeared for a while, but eventually made her return, although she is known for taking long breaks.
Contributed by ValerieFaller and MysterySeeker
Welcoming catchphrases are a running gag from the members of the forum, who use them to great new members.
MysterySeeker*: Hi welcome to the Mystery Shack, i hope you have fun here! But bewarb: not all of us are sane!
Dajoschi: *insert WELCOME TO OUR CLUB video*
Floating Eyeball: Welcome to the world of Mystery!
SoosUnknown: We put the fun in no refunds!
KingOfStickers: Also we lied about the free pizza.
ValerieFaller: Hope we don't scare you away!
BLARG: Welcome to the Shmystery Shmack! Where we put the Pun in no Rupunds!"
*MysterySeeker had multiple welcoming phrases, which he usually combines and mixes up these day.

I don't really know where they're coming from, but I told DesertFOX to
look into it. We thought the safety question and capcha code would
do the trick, but somehow they've found a way to get through these.
Just keep reporting any of them as soon as you see them and please,
don't reply to them. They don't read it anyway since they're not real
people. ;)
Also, I am really sorry for my absence lately. I check for PMs and reported
things every day, but I can't really post a lot. I am just out of my exams and
I have taken on a summer job and have to work early/late and nightshifts, alongside
job applications and my college's final design exhibition.
Please keep reporting any threads or posts that you think should be moved,deleted
or corrected, signatures or profile images that are too large... really anything you
stumble upon that you think isn't in order.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Feyrah
