Vic he created accounts before the new rules kicked in. There were like 5 new accounts a day with one liner posts just to start off and build a fake history.

The trick is not to post in a troll started thread. Sad but true. We lost some good stuff yesterday - especially the Vonage/PBX thread. Luckily I was able to PM Pepe at LaCasa Medellin and he helped me out.

If a troll started thread has some good stuff, start a new thread - if possible. This way our content remains safe.

a while back i tried to suggest a few things to deter the trollies as well. however, there is a sizable audience here who likes the trollies. it is an issue of entertainment vs. substance. what is more important?

- i suggested having new sign ups pay a small fee. this would deter trollies who were tight wads anyways.

You can't sign up anymore? I guess that's one way of getting rid of them.

If new people can't come to check it out then this site may get a tad boring soon.

What I have, I do not want to lose, but Where I am I do not want to stay, but those I love, I do not want to leave, but those I know I no longer want to see, but Where I die, I do not want to go;I want to stay where I have never been

"when a newbie you shouldn't be able to post for few 3 months until you establish a good history"

That's a terrible idea. People who need information or have pressing questions they need answered quickly would suffer.

But I agree with the sentiment, some people embarrass themselves with the drivel they decide to write.

What is a troll anyway ( in forum form) I know a troll is someone weird that hides under bridges or something like that, but what does it mean here.

No, it is temporary until we publish the new set of forum rules.

trolls waste everyones time, not only do they take up space, they waste the mods time having to clean up their mess and the members time just trying to read around the crapola.
