Suggestion on how to get rid of the troll.

«13
Ok so as you all know we have a bit of a troll problem so I figured to give some helpful advice though this thread. So my advice is by completely ignoring them. They starve for attention so when they realize there is none here they leave (usually) by doing this no one should comment on how gross the picture they have is, dont comment on their posts, ignore them and dont give them any of your attention. Just pretend they aren't there don't even talk about them anymore. I know its hard since its disturbing but please ignore the trolls it will give them nothing to troll about since they wont get any reactions. Though my thread kinda ignores the dont talk about the troll but I think in this case its fine to bring awareness on how we can get rid of this troll. Any other suggestions are great but remember to not acknowledge them if they post in here which im sure they will comment on this thread since I am acknowledging there is a troll but just ignore them please.

    There are already several different threads about this, and each one just makes it worse.

    I believe these threads are exactly what trolls live for. This thread alone is giving them more adrenaline to keep the trolling alive.

    HA! I didn't think about that! It really is, isn't it? Lol! xD

    Is this thread needed? You're the only the millionth person to suggest this, you srsly didn't need to make a thread about this.

    What he has been posting is a little hard to ignore when it's right in your face. I guess who ever is patrolling the forum will just have to stay on top of it if they return.

    I still say that along with all the other new shiny buttons.. we need an "ignore user" button.

    While I know this thread has the right idea, it's so hard to just ignore something when all you really want to express your frustrations with their actions. Sometimes we need to let those feelings out. :(

    An ignore button would be ideal.

    I'm also going to say we might aswell just have an ignore button.

    Yeah. If everybody literally stopped talking or acknowledging them for a week they would go away. Pretend as if they do not exist (although, naturally it is sometimes difficult).
    Failing that:

    An interesting article here http://americablog.com/2014/02/dark-psychology-internet-trolls.html. Trolls are sadists, they are there to upset people. One person posted how upset she felt about the images so he specifically targeted her. He thriving on all the turmoil on the forum even going to the extent that people are arguing for even stricter controls on new users because of one rogue poster.

    So if he posts again, don't post your reactions report him instead.

    In other word keep calm and flag the troll.

    I agree, don't post, just flag. no remarks, say nothing just continue with the forum topic like nothing just happen.

    Yeh - next time, I'll say nothing to the troll.

    However, I did think chatting to the troll was a reasonable option - I thought it kind of worked - I'm sure it slowed him down with the pictures.

    EDIT:
    I'm talking about the previous one.

    Actually, it's for us to patrol the forum. Mods don't know about inappropriate posts until we flag them.

    As to disposing of the troll, may I suggest this?:

    I don't mind the pictures. It's not like I haven't seen a naked body before in a sexual situation.

    But in general yes... the trolls can be annoying.

    As other have said, they live for attention. It's one thing to reply to him in established threads, but making a thread about him - even to try and help people deal with him - is the worst thing you can do. It's like closing the windows in your house to try to get a fly to leave.
    What'd you just say??

    Guys really. Ignoring now won't do anything-just like with my little brother-he already knows it bothers people.
    Besides, he/she knows for a fact (without comments) that it bothers people, those pics are very vulgar and hard not to react to (if some stranger came into your house running around in their birthday suit, you shouldn't ignore that)

    Usually, with bullies(in real life), you're supposed to humor them and the situation. It's the second option to ignoring (since that's not gonna work)

    Hammering the plum out of them can also prove an effective deterrent as well as being personally satisfying :)

    An "ignore posts by user" feature would be nice.
