For example, the discussion on Grin Bulletin board solutions for ‘offline’ transactions (not really offline, but same convenience). > [@Grin Bulletin Board: Discussing three options and select one for bounty](https://forum.grin.mw/t/grin-bulletin-board-discussing-three-options-and-select-one-for-bounty/9822): > > In the Community Council meeting of today we discussed the possibility of introducing a Bulletin Board system for Grin as sugested by @satoshocrat.

The trick mostly used by the trolls is to mix valid arguments and ideas from the past with bullshit arguments FUD and a false sense of ‘there being a problem’ while in reality things are fine as they are. Often the objective is to … I discussed it with other moderators, we will start a stricter banning policy for trolls, three strikes and you are out (2 months ban).
