I tend to agree a bit, and I think the troll hunting on here of late has been fierce. And although there have been several trolls on here who have been causing a ruck lately; I believe that there are a few people who are genuinely looking for help. Maybe regular users with new names, but not trolls.

However, I think that the fierceness of the troll hunting has been because of a couple of really nasty trolls who caused a lot of trouble over the last few weeks, sending vicious and nasty PMs, insulting the posters on here, and reposting old posts of theirs from many months back, with personal and sensitive issues in, to try and hurt their feelings.

One troll in particular was dreadful. He thought he was smart and funny and was getting one over on people by making up new usernames, but he was very easy to spot, and was soon PPRd each time. The thing is whenever people suspect it's a troll; 9 times out of 10, it is.

Well this troll got a lot of peoples backs up, and so anyone who joined was instantly laid into, even if they may have been genuine. You can hardly blame the troll-hunters can you, when there has been such horrible behaviour from a certain couple of trolls.

It's been quiet for a week and a half or so since one main troll was banned. They did try to return under a few guises about 5 to 6 days ago, but were soon obliterated.

Hopefully, they won't come back, because they were ruining the boards.

I don't think though that the mods delete a thread because a few posters 'gang up' and report it. The threads that vanish are going because the OP IS a troll, or because the OP has requested its deletion.

I am seriously hoping that this thread does not rile any trolls that have been making this forum unpleasant for the past month or so. Personally, I think starting this thread was a bad idea, as the forum has calmed down this past week or so. I believe that this may make things flare up again.

Goodness, I had no idea such evilness existed on the boards.
Who is this person that is wreaking havoc here? Please name and shame. You could of course just get on with life in the real world and ignore such nonsense.

Do you not see the irony in your post? :rotfl:

You accuse the poster (sarcastically) of responding to such trivial issues, and then do exactly the same thing! Priceless!

Kettle, the pot is calling you.

I see no irony at all. Posting on forums is not the be all and end all and who is a troll and who is fake or a wind up merchant matters nothing to me.
