It's also a problem of feeding the trolls too. He was banned after I've personally had numerous conversations with various members who were advocating for his dismissal. Most of them, we rejected because they were trivial ("ban the troll" or "he's full of shit" type of complaints), but some members including
@bonerhope made some clear and compelling arguments to support his case, which we considered and then ultimately decided to take action. Not so much for his (admittedly many) useless and BS posts, rather he was disruptive to our community and our members.
That said, the guy was banned almost 2 weeks ago by me, and yet, you guys are STILL talking about him. If it wasn't clear, trolls are out only for attention, and if you starve them of it, they can't get the satisfaction. But instead, more than a few members continued to engage him and kept on feeding him.
I do understand his BS was hard to ignore, and that biting your tongue is more difficult than just completely ignoring it, but many members just played right into his hands by engaging him, which is exactly what he wanted.
so our recent troll went back to the other site where he was already banned. Setup 3 accounts over last 3 days - banned each time within hours. He’s on his 4th account, he’s calling out mknegative - the troll is just sick.
I'm pretty sure he has account here - just waiting for the right time.
We have put some protections in place to try to prevent that from happening, but if that's the case, report it and let us know. But again, as above, do not engage him.
