There is a "ban button", though. Just hit the "Flag" button underneath his post, then hit "Report" on the drop-down menu. Then pick whichever of the many, many breaches of the Forum Rules he's committed that you'd like to report (I chose "Sexual Content" myself, but whatever floats your boat) and hit "Submit". No, it's not going to hide his comments. But if enough people report him, the mods will eventually wake up and ban him.
- No Swearing. Foul language will not be tolerated. Swearing via substitution of key letters with symbols is against the rules. (Example: If "horse" were a swear word and it was posted as "h****").
- No Flaming. No Trolling. Flaming is intentionally posting hurtful, insulting, or harassing messages to others. Trolling is deliberately posting sarcastic, off topic, or rude remarks in order to incite a fight on the boards. Take the high road and be polite. Respect others even if their opinions differ from yours. If you disagree with someone, you are free to do so politely, but please don't make it personal.
- No Spamming or Flooding. Flooding or spamming means posting disruptive numbers of messages, including posting the same message in multiple forums. This also includes "bumping" threads multiple times. "Bumping" a thread is when someone posts "bump" or anything similar in their thread to keep it on the first page of threads. Doing this once or twice is fine, but multiple times within a short period of time is considered spamming. Use your bumps sparingly.
Was this just for show? A performance?
I can tell that they take their rules soooo seriously.
Ignoring them would go a long way. Even if they get banned, seeing all the hoopla about their previous visit makes them happy. That's the response they want. Now having said that, its just not going to be possible because way too many people frequent the forums and not everybody is going to be on the same page. My method is to calmly report them and maybe taking a break to get away from the forums for a bit. Maybe by then his sugar high might calm some. If I were running the forum I think I would be closing down account creation for a bit and maybe putting in some new rules, like accounts under 30 days old can not use custom avis and can only post every 5 minutes. I don't know much about IPs and VPNs, but if they could ban reliably by that it could at least slow the trolls down.
Here's another idea too, using the Report function of the Flag button doesn't give them any indirect indication that we are bothering to waste our attention on them either.
I don't understand what everyone's so upset about. Here's how you deal with trolls:<br />
<br />
IGNORE THEM!<br />
<br />
If they don't get a reaction, they wont come back.
