Hey David I saw you were online and I was wondering if anything could be done about the troll problem that seems to rear it's ugly head around here periodically? I know that you banned our latest winner but it seems like something that is worth cracking down on. I'm not sure what your policies are but are there any measures in place to ban a troll who is another identity for an exisiting member? Would just the troll screen name be banned or do you cut the head off so to speak? I know it's a difficult area because what constitues a troll? I guess I just wish there was something that could be done about this. Any info would be appreaciated. Thanks for your time.

I agree. Some are getting quite offensive.

Marting_the_winner and The_Expert, go ahead and get rid of Bill1967 also

Per David - "Please also use the report function (the yellow triangle) to point out posts that are offensive. It's the best way for us to handle problems."

I do that, often. I usually end up sending an e-mail to someone in charge of the asylum. That usually works.

Thanks csmithnj and wacco for that. Something I'll deffinitely have to start using.

Smokiethebear,

Thanks for all your hard work.

What are you talking about?

I'll be happy to name a few names here:
Can we please add Ghostface and Chickenhawk to the list of trolls. These guys provide exactly 0 content, and try to stir up trouble in every thread they post in.

Thanks!

Excuse me?

I'm not stirring up anything anywhere. Raven and I got into it, I apologized and moved on.

SmokinHot took offense to one thing I posted and I also appologized, but if you read the thread's original post, I was dealing with the subject matter to a T. It was about poor drivers being mostly women. I baisically agreed, she didn't like it, I apologized. Then in her next post, she states that poor drivers are usually women and old people. Go figure.

Chickenhawk is gone.

Many thanks.

For the record, I took offense to you saying that ALL women needed to be prohibited from driving and should stay home and knit.

I also said that plenty of women have made stupid driving mistakes, but that plenty of men have as well.

I was never disputing the original intent of that thread, because I agree that women CAN BE terrible drivers. I was disputing the prejudice against ALL women in your post.

UltraMan is a Troll....

Actually Raven, I believe you're the troll. You've already been banned at other boards for your volatile posts. Why they keep your account active here is beyond all of us.

I have only been to 2 Forums this one and another one and I was never banned I left due to jerks like you. I have never been baned here. If your going to cause trouble then I advise you return to the other forum. Debating views is one thing but to assault people here for no reason will get you banned from here.

By the way when I left I did request that my account be closed and I have no clue why they keep it open for I never plan to return. Maybe you should ask them.

Ultraman, we're going to try you on moderated status from now on. You're a bit combative for an innocent newcomer.

Just a post to see if I'm unmoderrated yet. Sorry again SmokinHot, I didn't mean to offend you.
