We're happy to have you ben and hope you have many years of happy baiting and very poor lads.

As for the trolls.....sometimes it may just be arrogance rather than a troll Wink

Normally they hit the radar the moment they sign up

Usually followed by the sound of many other items either being hit or being used to hit, after which one of the duty mod's scrapes the remains off the floor (a messy job that one) while other mod's, who, as "as luck would have it", just happened to log on after the event congratulate each other on another job well done while imbibing large quantities of Pimms.

Yay for our mods! happy crowd

Oh, I've upgraded my stick to a bamboo model. Should splinter nicely.

^^^that depends on which species of bamboo you use....

Hopefully you guys arn't seeing this as a knock against the Mods. because they do a good job...but the people in question are those idiots Rezo the red and the bullshitmerchant...they in my eyes are trolls, I'm just saying in the replys have been too nice..but in my agressive nature would've gave them a swift kick in the ass...oh well. I would have to add to the romance folks they are vicisouse and luv to sharpen their teeth on the bones or the Lads and Vlads...keep up the great work!! Twisted Evil

Don't worry nothing you can say will upset my believe in our Moderators but you should learn that with 6.000.000.000 people here on this small ball, there might be a few different opinions, even here in the eater, don't worry, if you don't like it don't answer or better don't read it, if you want to throw mud at certain members, wrong forum, we are a weird bunch but we only take it out on our other "friends" Twisted Evil

All help welcome to keep a few extra scammers down, baiters are not hunted here, wrong forum again. You don't have to love them, leave them is good enough.
Welcome here, grab a few from the surplus, ask for a mentor if needed and come back when you have questions.
Have fun, bait SAFE

I didn't

As I said, sometimes it's arrogance rather than trolling.

Ben, you are being very selective and have missed a couple of suspects. Laughing

I'd like to see the trolls. They are good for a laugh every now and then, but you have to remember to follow the big signs nailed all around:

BEN FOR MOD!

You need a campaign. I've had previous experience in these matters. But, Breddan is right. You missed a few.

It was a pretty good call......

Warning!!!! Cricket analogy in the next post!!! Laughing

The last time I had a knock against the mods I was caught at deep midwicket for just 17. That was back in the days when lotta wore green and usually fielded at fine leg. I see JMR has settled in nicely at silly mid-off.

I have to say I haven't said anything about the other arrogant trolls on the site just to see hows it handled, but like I've said I've lurked and posted and read enough to see these parasites and recognize there bullshit (thanks to Youall) to call bullshit....and now will call bullshit on them.....just need to get my curses right

I for one enjoy seeing a troll from time to time. It helps to reinforce (to me at least) that one of the main reasons why we do what we do is because of the lack of understanding and education of the general public. It makes me realize that there is so much to be done and I am where I want to be on this issue. Smile

Trolls are dealt with quickly and quietly?
Quickly yes, but some of the screams do reverberate round for a while.

Most of them you never see or hear. A few always slip through when they start out normal and then take sharp turn and drive right off the cliffs of sanity. My favourite are the nutters. Especially some of the PM's we get from them. They are great entertainment. Very Happy

@ Ben - I wouldn't worry about them. That's why we're here. We try and make your forum experience remain troll-free as possible. Now would you like anything from the drinks cart? A pillow? If you need anything please push the 'any' key. Leave your curses for the lads. They actually read them.

<coughs> I was a troll once. Not on here, despite what some may think. It was on the 'Eastenders' discussion group. Me and a mate 'John The Bank' decided to play merry with the fact that Pauline Fowler never changed her cardie or buttoned it up correctly. Big mistake! She died in the end. Nough said.

I know I am not one of the Trolls. I was gone when this discussion started, so I wasn't here.

I do admit that I keep some sharpened sticks nearby for just such occasions. The sticks can be sued for skewers or for just jabbing as needed.

I do like that Eater doesn't let Trolls become sport so that we use our energies and jabs on the lads. They are the deserving ones. From what I have seen Trolls don't stand much of a chance here, as their antics are easily identified.

I would, however, like a one week pass to the Troll cemetery. Very Happy

Someone should save the troll posts in an archive. Some of the troll stompings are classic and worth re-visiting from time to time for a giggle. Razz

Troll?, I wil go and fetch my sticks, I sharpened them recently waiting for the next one.

There is one member who has been named above and who has a name befitting a troll that I noticed recently in the romance forum, as my sticks were not sharp at the time I resisted the urge to poke him but it was quite obvious why he was here.

I've seen how Trolls are dealt with here... It's not pretty.
