    I'm late to the party, but there's a certain irony to counselling frequent use of the "ignore list" and having a signature that talks about getting over butthurt.

    Anyhoo...

    I remember many many moons ago on forums where "troll" or "trolling" really meant someone with no intention of positive contribution.

    Nowadays the term is just thrown at anyone who you disagree with.

    I'm old and boring so I welcome all the feistyness anyone can muster up from others.

    That is all.

    Proceed with the derailment...

    Actually name calling is a pretty good tactic, you identify your enemy with a descriptive name that's easy to use and has a negative connotation about it. Makes it easier for the less informed to grasp and hurl about. I'm sure it's been in use for a LONG time but there was this fella named Hitler several years ago that really raised the bar.

    Just stopped by for the free :popcorn:. Sure wish RK would use real popcorn salt instead of table salt. Just sayin...

    Thought about the ignore list once, then I wouldn't know what gems they are posting...

    Well, IBTL.

    I dunno. Can a thread not started on the tracks ever be derailed?

    dontfeed

    Tired of trolls and the way they treat you and others, stop the feeding and put them on your Ignore List, after a while the troll withers
    from the lack of attention and seeks out another source to feed upon their unsuspecting victims.

    Go to your User CP settings.

    Click on "Edit Ignore List" in the left column under "My Account"

    Under the middle column Where it says "Add member to your List" there is a box beside Username.

    Enter the trolling members name, then click OK on the right side.

    VIOLA, You'll never see what the Troll says again, you'll see that a post was made, but not the content.

    Of course this has been a test of the I.A.T.R.S.

    Instant Anti Troll Response System.

    If this would have been an actual emergency event, you would have received explicit instruction to prevent the nuclear option.
    This post has been made as a joke, if you take offense to it, then maybe, just maybe, you're the troll.

    That is all, these are not the droids we was looking for, carry on.:ingo:


    Bacon for the win, because bacon wins every time.:patriot:

    I couldn’t see the OP, can somebody Cliff it for me?:):
