Has anybody else noticed the sharp incline of active trolls on the board latley. We usually have one or so popping in but the past few days we have several making there presence very well know. Its turning into Trollville. Anyway more of a rant than an informative post but I am sure everyone has a little frustration about them too.

Yes I've noticed, and it's infuriating, which is the whole idea.
It's hard to believe that the last one is 24. That's probably it's I.Q.

I agree

Everyone thought I was a troll, when I joined. Even with a supreme effort I could'nt come up with the inane remarks, and pure B.S. that the real ones do.

There are many long time posters who were at one time considered trolls. Sometimes folks are a little hasty in a rush to judgment. There are others who are obviously trolls. Trolls who spam the boards are an even bigger pain.

If you see someone spamming the boards, especially with nonsense, PLEASE PM a mod. While none may be on at the moment, we do check throughout the day and evening and are more than happy to clean up if and when needed.

I think that part of the problem is that the trolls are in cahoots with one another because some of them seem to know each other. Then there are those that would probably have moved on but we get fired up and keep telling them they are idiots and that just encourages them to keep coming back because they know they are annoying us. There are a couple in the cat forum that would have been bored and left us long ago if we didn't keep firing them up. Then their friends join in. But they fly just below the radar and never say anything bad enough to get banned.

The ones who know one another are either one troll posting as multiple posters or kids who find baiting folks fun and invite their friends from school to join in.

The mods edit, delete and/or ban when we see them out of control, but we still needs members to let us know if there is a problem we've overlooked.

It's something of a pain, I know, but since this is an open forum, it's the best way we have of combating it.

It is very, very, very annoying. I therefore am not on here no where near as much as I used to be. - Hopefully, it's just a "phase!"

I do not see the troll thing as all of the sudden. They have been around since i joined my first forum. The bad part about them is that some of them are children. Its bad enough when children play their games to the point of disturbing others, but even worse when an adult will stoop to such nonsense. Makes me wonder what a sad life they must lead that they have nothing better to do than cause a disruption, and then feed from it. When its children, i wonder where their parents are, that they are using the internet without supervision.
If you are a dog and your owner suggests that you wear a sweater, suggest that he wear a tail.

Worst part is...summer vacation is approaching. Its always bad then. What happened to playing outside with your freinds.
People are like slinky's, not really good for much. But its still fun to push them down the stairs.

I agree LPN. When i was a kid, we didnt have the internet and video games. We played board games when the weather was bad, and on nice days, we played outside with our friends. We played games like kick the can, mother may i, or red light green light. Fun stuff. I think kids were healthier back then. Not so much childhood obesity either. We darn sure didnt talk back to our parents either, or we got the what for ! Awe the good ole days.........

Soon after I posted this that very thought came to my mind about summer break. I reminded my self it may seem bad now, wait another month and I will be rethinking the current troll situation. Lets mentally prepare ourselves now.
