I am a troll!

[Enter]

this is a big forum the only way is that someone checks every new user that signs in!!!

Yes, but that wouldn't be effective.

I am not sure this guy is capable of going without mentioning his country.

Either that or use a variety of VB hacks and mods to make his experience here miserable (see: Tachy Goes to Coventry, Miserable Users).

Tachy sounds pretty cool (maybe he won't even bother making a new account?). Miserable might just make him more angry.

I don't believe that you can simply filter words that easily; workarounds are always there.

Like with all trolls, it's just a battle of attrition (see: cases you can read at TheAdminZone, Google "stop forum troll proxy")


It's good that this thread is generating some discussion, though. Helps build awareness, and maybe someone can come up with a good solution.

If you want be be a successful troll, you need to be more subtle.

I like your new avatar :3

I banned him twice without him having posting anything public in like the past hour. Not the first time either, probably not the last.

I mean, it's great that I'm giving out free bans to meet my ban quota (don't worry, we don't have these), but geez.

make a manual login only for new members just for a week or two he will then probably give up!

:fpWow...

 

[ExoCorsair]

I've been changing my mind on it every so often; I can't decide what to put there!

 

[TheCubeMaster5000]

But the edit is informative and funny...

I think this troll kinda backfired on itself.

 

[ExoCorsair]

Doubt it, we've banned dozens of accounts from this guy to date; I'm still wielding my banhammer for future ones, at least until something gets implemented.

 

[Edward]

Lots and lots of questions upon signup?

 

[ExoCorsair]

That would annoy legitimate users...

 

[Dene]

lol ban quota.

And lol this guy he is so determined, and for what? Do we think he is a cuber?

 

[ExoCorsair]

No idea, but if it is a Serbian cuber, there's only five of them.

 

[BigGreen]

one fish two fish red fish blue fish!

 

[Samania]

So does that mean I can't cross your Serbian bridge?

 

[Ashmnafa]

[Chapuunka]

I dunno, it can be kinda funny for a little while. I doubt anyone's taken him (her?) seriously.

 

[The Puzzler]

Darn, I was hoping to read another batshit insane rant.

Indeed
