Offer them cat food.
(We love cat food.) :evil:
I just found this great plugin to remove troll posts on youtube called Hide fedora
It works great really great to cleanup the cesspool that youtube comment section have turn it to lately, just add some of the most annoying posts in the block list if the server block list haven’t blocked that troll user already, like for example all troll “who are watching this in………bla bla december” idiots who copy and paste large aschii art posts all over the comment sections.
Just add watching for example or a part of that ascii art and you will never have to see one of those again :bigsmile:
EDIT
I wish we could block users here actually, not just from messaging us but from seeing there posts also.
Fortunately the worst offenders have already been banned, but that can take a while sometimes before a new troll screw up so bad he gets banned, and it would be great to just be able not see there posts at all when we have had enough.
That would also help those who really dislike some of the commercial parts and users here, they could just block all those users they don’t want to do business with anyway, and not have to see them everywhere 
Now to be a Troll first and foremost
One must find out what angers the most
Make a thread go astray
In a horrible way
Inject venom into every post
You pretend to be really engrossed
Then put up a sarcastic riposte
When their wrath they betray
You are well on your way
In the coals of their anger they'll roast
Of your Trollery soon you can boast
You've disrupted things to the utmost
At the end of the day
You can then proudly say
That your work is all done
Well , almost ....
Good one, Jack! 
It is time for another…
;)
Time for another bump I guess. Entertaining oneself by picking fights, making up gossip to throw at others, or escalating insults is just some of the behavior we need to be avoiding by request of the management as well as being the best way to remain a cohesive community. If you feel this is directed at you then it probably is so take heed huh?
Has this been happening recently ? If so, I’ve missed it.
The last flame war I recall was the infamous 30q thread of not-too-long-ago.
The way its going the troll of the year award goes to the Cometa the flashlight has successfully trolled most of BLF 
I take it you didn’t participate in the Cometa group buy…?
Two threads closed so far. Personally I think this place could use a couple of moderators and an ignore-user feature.
Whats wrong with the moderator we have now. If you have any issues PM him as he has requested and the problems are dealt with.
Nothing wrong at all, but perhaps he could use a bit of help? If you have more than one, they can discuss issues in a group and be around a bit more (as I guess sb isn’t here 24/7). Obviously this is totally up to him, it’s his forum after all. I would like a Cometa thread (as mine finally arrived, and so far it looks and feels absolutely awesome!) that hasn’t derailed, but if certain people aren’t told to tone it down a bit, I guess we will end up with another closed thread in a few days if I start one. 
The forum has been here for several years and one of the reasons this forum started, was because the owner here disagreed with the way CPF was structured and he started this one. He is the only moderator and I believe it will always be as it is. If you have concerns, address them to him and that is how it works. If he agrees, then something will change and if not, then at least you got your answer. Some people feel more moderation is necessary, others do not. Internet forums will always and forever be a source of aggravation and animosity, as well as a source of fun and openness to vent and they will always be a source of controversy. It's what we are, that makes this what it is. Sometimes I agree with it and other times I do not, but I have always come back here over and over, where I do not in other more controlled forums. Some people here have gone on to start their own forums, because they do not agree with how this one is run. Everyone is free to like it or not, no problem either way.
We’re supposed to be self moderating adults. I’m glad he has a light touch or this place would have a completely different atmosphere. Occasionally things go sideways but by the time a thread is closed or someone does get the axe it’s pretty obvious there was a need for him to act. In some cases just bumping this thread is enough of a reminder for people to remember the forum rules and chill but some think they are entitled to mouth off anyway. It seems to take either egregious behavior or consistently trollish posts to get tossed. Simply being an occasional irritant doesn’t seem to trip the alarm. Threads that degenerate into sadly useless conflagrations lose whatever good info was in them unless it can be posted again elsewhere so protect the resource that a thread represents. If you haven’t been here long, please keep this in mind. Those who have surely do.
Rufusbduck’s post #116 doesn’t rhyme, but it is poetic. Read it guys. Heed it. A little personal responsibility goes a long way. We should all be grown up enough for that. If I am, everyone is.
I intentionally skip any Cometa threads. Their lights do nothing for me. Seems like I missed a couple of flame wars.
