[case]

Since it's come to my attention that certain communities have been purposely posting troll secrets for the lulz, I'm going to start getting harsher on what counts as a non-troll secret, especially regarding the fandom involved.

ETA2: No, this isn't only SPN fandom. This goes for everyone else, too.

Just a heads up.

And apologies in advance if any real secret posters get caught up in this.

First you need to evaluate whether or not the situation is actually trolling.

For instance, a lot of the secrets are posted solely to make others laugh.

Secondly, have you read the posts about the secrets? Because I'm a member of capslock_spn, and I haven't really seen anyone mention trolling so much as, "LOL which one of you made this? It has to be one of us!"

Third, you probably shouldn't have made such a big deal about it and gone on to reject secrets at your own discretion, as there is no actual way to tell if a secret is true or not.

Lastly, if you can't stand the idea of trolling or the sort of secrets that show up for SPN, you can always implement a quality clause, which lets those with secrets know that you except the secrets to maintain a certain level of quality. IE: No blurry text, no MS Paint secrets. And there's always outlawing capslock.
