Raid rules regarding trackers

I just can't agree with this. You and I are posting in this thread right now. It's taking us, what, 30-60 seconds to post? How long do you think it takes to look at a post, see if it contains someone saying "durr fuck your guild" or whatever, and click Ban or Suspend User? It would take less time than it takes to write up a single reply that we are doing right now. And when that happens, lets say, 3-5 times, and people start to realize "oh wow they are banning people for trolling" then the trolling stops. It's that simple. Literally 30 seconds a day would fix a lot of this.

I just can't buy into this "lack of free resources" thing. How is it that the players can have infinite free time while the staff is always tied up elsewhere? How long are we going to accept the "staff is busy" argument as a legitimate reason for putting up with trolling, almost no clear rules, the constant breaking of the few actual clear rules?

Hell, I came here asking for clarification about a specific rule and got 4 replies, the first 2 people actually gave their opinion, the 3rd person (you) ignored the question, and the 4th gave a troll response of allowing porn on the forum.

I expect trolling in RNF, but elsewhere (or more specifically, in a Raid Discussion forum or thread) it should be bannable.

Again, all that is unrelated to my original query. Which was about how Trackers are considered. Going by the "rule" I'd say zoning out and back in clears the "Tracker" status. Otherwise, the rules would favor people with "tracker bots" over people who track using their actual playable character, which would be ridiculous.
