We'll put YOU in charge of "posting guidelines".... yeah, right.
Just DON'T READ them, jack.

One thing that is quite unreasonable IMO is to expect all postings to be desirable or likable. This is a public forum, all are welcome, and someone may annoy you.
Try the ignore button?

There's an "Island of misfit toys" where the trolls end up too but I would get in trouble for telling you more about it. LOL

They ask for car advice and then do exactly the opposite, leaving a trail of destroyed vehicles and depleted finances in their wake. Eventually, their screen name is banned. Within a month, they have another one and are back on, using BITOG to fulfill their need for attention.

I think it's a couple. After all, the screen name is Mrs and man.
Or it could be Caitlyn.
I kill myself

There are plenty of pointless posts here, but this user is of another ilk. This board risks being seen as irrelevant when the signal to noise ratio drops too far and Mrsandman adds only to the noise. A thoughtful, reasoned post I disagree with adds to discussion much more than any of the drek he posts.
The question remains. What is done about trolls?

The worst ones seem to get vacations, that guy is well on his way IMO.
The ignore feature is wonderful and how I best deal with it.

He's on ignore personally as is HerrStig, but that doesn't really help the "neighborhood".
Don't forget the "notify" icon at the bottom right of each post. Use it when a post violates forum rules.

Yep, GHT, and even Carnoobie were really funny. I didn't consider them trolls either, more entertainment, it was really too bad they were not welcome anymore someone claimed that GHT was actually stalking them here, but I don't really see GHT doing that, he was too good natured.
