Given that this is an Info thread, can we try and keep the conversation on-topic?

The three "troll" accounts are KralieAlex, ToTheBark, and FromTheGarden. They create and respond to practically EVERY troll thread. They're the same person, I'm sure. It would be real handy if they could be IP banned.

Any author with a totheark wordplay username is going to be a troll about 90 percent of the time. It would be nice to IP ban the guy, but I remember hearing somewhere that it's either strongly discouraged, or flat out against UF policy to do so. I don't see why, though.

True, that was a sweeping generalization. A quick look at post count is the best way to determine who the trolls are. That, and all the usernames are suspiciously similar, hence the generalizing. I respect the few tothe___ users that don't post stupid things, though.

I think some serious rethinking needs to go into the "Not deleting threads with replies" aspect of this site, seeing that there are tonnes of usernames that now exist ONLY to reply to troll threads. There must be several of them now clogging up this board.

Thoughts?

Honestly, I'd be surprised if it did.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was some spiteful butthurt ex-member of the forums who was called out on being a dick or one of the ones who made a nonsensical theory and then got called out on it. If that's the case, then way to go on being the bigger person. *internet sarcasm*

No way of proving that of course, but I wouldn't be surprised.

It's like SpaceBass said a few pages back. Whoever it is is seeing just how much they can get away with.

Which, in this case, happens to be quite a bit so far.

Ignore the trolls. They live for seeing their name mentioned on the page.

The more you pay attention, the more you complain, the more they will post.

I think you're correct. I also think the admins aren't going to go for that, and they're not going to let the mods have sufficient powers to do what needs to be done to sort out the fake entry situation. I've given up hoping for improvement of any sort on this issue, the admins are so hopelessly unwilling to tread on anyone's toes that it's just going to keep happening.

There's always the "leave Unfiction and make an MH-only board" option, but that will never work Sad

And I've given up on trying to explain to you why we do things the way we do. Why not seize a little ownership of your community participation instead of constantly complaining that no one is forcing it to happen the way you think it should?

I'm happy to assist if anyone wants to start their own MH/SMM or other board elsewhere.

You know, I see you come here a lot to tell people what to do or what the rules are or any of that, but I've never really seen you do a whole hell of a lot.
