Tel - I did say *vaguely*.

AB - blowing yourself up, or maybe at a stretch something else *and* yourself up - was exactly what i had in mind.

The current Trolling is getting tiresome now.

Too much of the same old stuff !

In the good old days at least it was tricky to spot some of the trolling !

Time for a good old New Labour stylee witch hunt

What? NAT would only affect more than one person if they're behind the same NATting device/firewall during the lease. Perhaps you're confusing it with dynamic allocation.

I think it depends on the person and their intentions/posts is it lively banter and a bit of a wind-up or do they want to insult and ruin threads along with causing trouble.

The problem generally isn't the trolls, but the people who are stupid enough to fall for it - usually every time.

Humorous, intelligent, original trolling (is that an oxymoron) is great to see. Soem of the best threads on here could probably be counted under that.

Ill-informed, ignorant, repetitive and abusive trolling is a pain in the proverbial and wastes bandwidth.

Trouble is, as has been pointed out already, it's a problem when someone joins in on a trolling thread and then gets their knuckles rapped. Especially if they are regulars and just getting into the swing of things when the thread gets locked. I'm glad I'm not a moderator...

No bottle either when it becomes a bit difficult, just runs away!

Nothing wrong with a bit of clever trolling anyway.

I have spotted an Inverse Troll, someone who posts on a thread purely to calm others down, anyone else seen him ?

Anyone Daryl90 posting a picture of his own poo ?

Depends really, as most have said. Trolls can be funny, but I reckon that's a small majority... on the other hand they only work if people rise to the bait, so you've got to say it's a two-way thing.

Who cares. They are only a problem if you don't know how to use the Ignore function.

What you've got is 'troll fatigue'.
Don't worry though a BBS has enough of an intake of fresh fish to provide good trawling for your above average friendly neighbourhood troublemaker.
