Age phrasing indicators

You can tell most things about someone who causes trouble by their second line reply Knowing what you're dealing with is useful.. This might not be 100% accurate but it is close.

To the question .. "Hi,.. What were you doing ?"

Age 12-14 "F*** off you F*tard C** "

Just a knee jerk response. The key point is the question gave no indication that they were under attack but knowing that they were 'being bad' they lash out not thinking they could talk their way out.

Age 14-18 "Oh F*** off. Ban me if you want " Or " Don't worry I won't be back here" ( making it sound like it was their choice to get banned )

Only teenagers do the ' I don't care/whateva ' sulk. Over the age of 18 people feel less invincible and become aware of the limitations of burning all bridges. ( 'Ban me I don't care' can be an indication the person is drunk. Alcohol takes away peoples fear of consequences ) After the teenage years people focus on achievement and ego replaces angst.

Age 18-35 " I wasn't doing a F***ing thing. they attacked ME !!!!! " Or "They had no sense of humour I was just having fun' Or even "That was RP F***tard"

Common phrases used my trolls. The feeling that they have a right to do what they do is self delusion to sooth feeling of inadequacy.An inflated sense of 'entitlement' is the root of most problems which you will never se in anyone younger. Be cautious of anyone using multiple exclamation marks ..This is a recognised indicator of mental illness.

Age 35-100 " Oh sorry it got out of hand,

Trolls have realised apologising can be a good smokescreen to allow them to continue. But generally 99% of people who apologise never do it again realising that you only asked to find out the situation overall.

As people get older their sense of themselves as the center of creation slowly fades until you find old people see themselves as part of the background and not the star of the stage.

You have to take a long view as to whether you ban a person but most of my decision is based on the second line of reply. Truth is if a person come in all fists and fury the best you can do is calm them down with assurance but they can't stop themselves doing it again. If you talk in reasonable terms then a ban is overreacting.

The hub doesn't really have rules or mods.. Rules are never read by people who break them and are unnecessary for the majority people who know right from wrong and would only feel patronised by rules.
