Who was that masked Troll? I think the Alert feature should have something automated on it that when at least 2 or more members click it, on one Troll, in a short time....say 30 minutes....that the member being reported should automatically have their IP address blocked or something until a Moderator can get to it and make a decision. That idiot last night posted 50 some odd posts in a few hours time. He was on a roll and took advantage of the late hour to do as much damage and be as big of a nuisance as he possibly could. Might save the Mods a lot of work closing out threads the next morning....LOL

Yeah. I'm almost sorry they banned him. He was kind of cute in a pathetic way-too-desperate for attention kind of way.

But seriously, he was a particularly nasty breed of troll, and was handled pretty quickly. I've been reading the carnage all morning. :P Saw where he got after you a bit, Max. At least he had good taste.

M A X,

Are you sure you wouldn't make more money as a systems architect? You seem to have the knack...

The problem is that any board's staff has to sleep sometime.

It was apparent who this asshat was once he posted more than 2-3 rude replies.

Although I have only briefly looked at vbulletin and php code, I'm certain there are experts in this site who could answer whether your idea can work or not.

The problem I see with this is that all it takes is for a "posse" to register a few handles and then find someone they have an agenda against and hit the RTM button and presto, the target is banned until a staff member wakes up.

Do you think he really wanted to fuck all of the providers up the ass?

Guest071613-2 · 06-16-2010, 02:42 PM

I think shizzle is next. Wishful thinking? Perhaps.....

He's only slightly more charming than asshat or whatever his name was.

Bets, anyone???

I can't believe he got all the way to 52 posts before he was banned. Especially one of his first posts that mentioned a racist group. I hit the RTM button on that post as he had already posted 11 times at that moment.

I'm a night owl.....hint, hint

I thought the RTM button was like the bat signal.

It seems asshat is back. Either that or an asshat like substance.

Edit: That was quick!

I Like that....we need to rename that little RTM button TBS for "The Bat Signal!" LOL

@BS...thanks.....what a nice compliment! Brownie points have been awarded....

@tracie....thanks hon....I think I just pissed him off though....he's now on a mission...he found my number and has texted and tried to call me a couple of times...sigh. Guess he didn't understand I have no intent on feeding a wormy lil' ole Troll like him. Poor thing seems to have comprehension problems.
