    What is the story with all the random trolls and weirdos posting threads on here lately. I was in work last night and there was about 12 threads by the same dope. I found it hard to enjoy after-hours.
    I'm wondering is there a way to control the amount of stupid trolls posting on here in the late hours. It really gets on my nerves having to read all this dirt.....

    I find the scab pickers more annoying. Those who get their teeth into a thread and keep picking and picking away at it.:)

    Don't let them know it bothers you....that's what they want.

    They will never stop if they get the reaction they want.

    But when I log into after hours and all the threads are ****e heads, pasting random stuff into the send box. I think we should have a time limit where you can't post a topic for the first 24 hours after your first post in after hours

    Don't feed them, just report them

    An admin would probably get rid of them for a while if it is continous crap

    I know but I mostly read boards at night. I would love for a post restriction for new posters for at lest 24 hours. I'm only saying this because of what happened last night which really pissed me off.

    I was on my break in work and wanted to browse boards after hours. But nearly every topic was some dope posting dirt. It turned me right of the forum for the night. I love reading boards most nights but these fools ruined it for me last night. It seems to be getting worse lately. :-(

    It was given exit directions, someone fed it, it stayed and crapped everywhere.

    think of them as spoilt children, who constantly need attention and approval :)

    ' Look at me, look at me...'

    Some people are just like that, they believe they are superior and that we all want to hear what they have to say.

    I know they're a joke but they really ruin people's opinion of boards. My head is wrecked with them. "Rant over"

    I have found that the biggest 'Trolls' on here are often those with such a big post count.

    Yeah you should have. Get over it.

    Sometimes it's hard to tell if someone is trolling, or if they are genuinely stupid.

    What is a troll though? Sometimes people who produce valid arguments against the AH consensus are labelled as such for going against the grain.

    Trolling in it's pure form only exists outside of moderated message boards and sites. Take Youtube for example, soundboard prank calls resulting in daily phone harassment. Frank 'Duncan' Garrett, Fred 'Bailsonsh' Herbert, East Texas Hillbilly, The 'Respected Gentleman', The Satanic Racist. All prank call victims.

    The 'Satanic Racist' (nickname given by pranksters) has recently taken legal action to no avail, youtube removed a few calls but the sheer size of the prankster community means it has no impact. Up to one thousand users are currently engaged in soundboard prank calling worldwide (Realm of Darkness figures). Many more just listen to the the calls online on the likes YT.
