You could eliminate most troll trash-talk by ignoring the threads posted in the "Competitors" category of the forum. You could hide all the threads posted in the "Competitors" category of the forum from New Posts if Solution #1 in this Brainstorm were implemented (which is why OrangeBox has cast the only vote against it):

So go there and vote for it:

I... Just...Have...to...CLICK!!!

Especially those of us that try to keep our New Posts empty.
I know what you mean, it's like a tooth ache. You know it's gonna hurt, but you keep touching it with your tongue, anyways.

that would bug me too, for this i sincerelly apologise.

it must be hard being a troll.

I'm sorry. Are you calling me a troll? I must have either missed something, or you missed the point of my post. Which is it?

Make sure you're also blocking his IP address and also by means of other signatures

easier solution: stop spamming the forum. you started 50 threads in 13 days. many of your postings would have fit in existings threads ...

@ vins Problem with blocking IP addresses is, any half-wit can jump on a proxy server.

And a lot of people are on dynamic IP addresses, so the Admins would have to filter a whole block of IP addresses, potentially causing other "productive" members to not be able to get on here.

There are a few other ways to ensure someone you've blocked stays away, but again, it's a matter of cleaning out cookies and changing IP addresses... along with a user name.

Yes, I just have realized that. Been a long time not working in IT. Then I think the solution is to just not let ourselves be irritated by those trolls. Giving option to other user the ability to ignore trolls won't help either. We ultimately need a constant vigilant mod.

Fatalsaint put it best... It's a matter of self control.

Personally, I get a chuckle out of some users here who get their panties tied up in a knot over this guy. It's the Internet, guys! Grow a thicker skin. Unfortunately, most people on the Internet don't have this "thick skin" I speak of, so they create java scripts, (not picking on the OP directly), or just moan about the trolls they run across. Self control, guys. You don't like someone? Ignore them. Simple.


I bet if everyone ignored his posts for a couple of weeks, he'd just go away... and maybe come back under a new username, but who knows.

I mean, do we need a "script" to tell us what threads we should not open? Are we that far gone that we can't use our 12 (in my case) brain cells to look at who made the thread, and pass it up?
I mainly use use the Active Topics -list to keep up with TMO. You can't see who started the thread on that list. As I'm writing this, there are three topics started by this higly successfull attention whore on Active Topics -list

I'm getting pretty frustarated on wasting my time on crawling trough his brainfarts. Big thanks to OP.
