RE: TeamPH First Meetup & First Trolling
I think Snook gives some good ideas. You guys can see a brief discussion of the troubles with culture differences in the Pimp server (#pimps room). He wasn't being a troll, he was just using dry sarcastic humor. That kind of humor is mostly understood and accepted in American circles, but I can see how it might be perceived differently by people not familiar with it. I have had my own problems with culture differences having lived in Japan for 20 years (and having taught people from all over asia), so I'm pretty familiar with the topic. A disclaimer on your server for people not very familiar with Ph culture might be a useful idea.

Something people might not know is that although @leveluplifeph is one of the pillars of TEAMPH and is an honorary Filipino, he actually is American and privy and familiar with that type of dry sarcastic humor. The fact he spoke up about it and not even one of the local Filipinos was evident to how much insight he had on the situation. Although I do agree that disclaimers or rules can help... yet trolls exist even in such discord servers with these types of rules.
