Re-post: How to deal with trolls

Love it! Thanks Jack!

+1 Well put jack.

sniff sniff! My nose senses troll with political agenda :person_facepalming:

I’ve noticed with my short time here some people just don’t mesh well. Someone’s humor doesn’t matches another or what have you.

Sometimes it’s best to choose to be happy. Not respond or continue on with a conversation.

BUMP

That troll just cursed me out in another thread. He told me to go f myself. BTW, where’s SB? I’m sure this guy will get banned soon enough.

He/she has been booted and banned.

Cheers David

Thanks David. I see some, if not all his posts got deleted. He was a real piece of work.

Definitely true that there are different types of personalities that don’t get along here. But this particular thread is referring to malicious trolls that come around with the express purpose of causing discord.

:+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:
Absolutely this! Everyone, please make a concerted effort to do this, which will really take the wind out of the sails of a troll that is trying to cause problems here. Just flat-out stony silence is what (s)he needs to see as a reaction, until I come along with the ban hammer.

All of them. Please feel free to PM me if you see anything similar. Thanks, and sorry your for unpleasant experience.

SB, can you ban his IP address?

Thanks SB for taking care of business

What’s always interesting when I see this flare up is noticing, in myself, the “hey how did I miss that fracas!” — the evil urge to have gotten mixed into something better left alone.
Just walk away — silence — is for sure the best and hardest response. Good learning here.
Glad I missed whatever it was. Thanks SB.

Bump

Today seems to be an adequate moment to bump this thread :slight_smile:
Simon55 = Melin32 ?

I reported Simon55 to SB

Good!
I was having a bit of fun though. :smiley:

Simon55 is gone. Thanks SB :slight_smile:

Bump! Just because …. :person_facepalming:

New member LedBuy is a troublemaker. I reported him/her to SB. He asked me how many flashlight I have, and I told him/her around 60. He/her then went off telling me I had mental problems and accused me of being female. Whe the hell is that all about?

Lately it seems there are lots of “harsh” posts, derailed threads, misunderstandings and word abuse!
I do understand that we have “free speech”, and that we are free to express our ideas, even if they are conflicting with those from other members.

BUT, I always remember 2 threads when I have the impulse to answer to some of those:

It helps me to keep my track here, and I guess it may help to keep the friendliness that we have on this forum!
