I don't think anyone believes he's for real, and the show is starting to get old, eh?

[Koumei]

Well I just used the ignore function. I hear it was implemented for that reason.

Remember, this isn't a reality TV show, we don't vote people off.

True enough, but I'm not sure he counts as a person....it's some sort of joke, obviously.

Okay, I wanna vote Mystic Mongol, Darswinism, and Books off the island.

I can do without people showing up en masse to just say we're stupid if we don't like 4e.

I'm up for banninating Darwinism, Piel and probably Books. Mystic Mongol is a tool, but at least he has made some actual arguments. I'm OK with people who make bad arguments. Darwinism is just spamming the board without making any arguments at all or even reading the posts he is claiming to refute.

Well, I find it interesting that we have a rule keeping us from bragging about trolling other forums, but someone coming here to brag about trolling us (Darwinism, Red Mage) is apparently fine?

Red Mage actually admits to registering just to tell someone they're an idiot.

1. Use Ignore. I do.

2. It should surprise nobody that people not worth reading flock to an edition war thread. It's easy enough to avoid a single thread. And edition wars are pointless, as I would hope anyone who cares has decided whether 4e or Essentials is worth using or not for quite a while by now.
When people start spamming into other threads and disrupting discourse elsewhere with the nyah-nyah-yah and "am not" "are too" style argumentation from that thread, then it would be time to consider banning.

3. "Red Mage actually admits to registering just to tell someone they're an idiot." This bugs me a little, but is well within parameters of prior arguments on this board. So long is also a poster doing something else besides just calling people idiots, I'm for letting them have their say.

[Prak_Anima]

Neh, Fair enough Josh. Though I wish we had that ignore thread feature that was proposed at one point.

I see he is trying to stack the deck. We had 7 people join the boards today and I think most of them are only posting on his thread.

Let's see
Books has 7 posts, 6 on 4E (1 here)
Mystic Mongol has 22 posts all on 4E
Piell has 6 posts all on 4E
Red_Mage has 1 post on 4E
Halloween Jack has 4 posts all on 4E
Crawfish has has 2 posts both on 4E
MadScientistWorking has 1 post on 4E

I think I see a pattern here.

If this isn't a solid argument for being able to ignore a thread, I don't know of any one that's better.

[Prak_Anima]

It's more a matter of not wanting to see it when you look in the board, or not having it register as having new posts.

Zherog, is there a way to check the IP addresses of the Red_Mage, Books, Darwinism, etc.? There was a scandal-thing on GITP where one guy had a bunch of accounts and did some trolling--this could be similar.

Is there any way to check?

Are you talking about the trolling incident where the dude faked his own suicide? Or was there another trolling-based scandal thing?

Yes, it's possible for an admin to check the logged IP of a post, and I've already gone through the list of names tzor posted. Each has a different IP.

yeah, the faking of the suicide. That's what I meant.

hmmm they're all different. Well, I have no idea! I'll just not be clicking the edition wars page.

For the record, my ignore list has 31 people on it. So to all the other trolls on SA: BRING IT THE FUCK ON.

Do banned people get deleted and thus removed from /ignore lists?

[Novembermike]

As one of the "trolls" from SA, I just have to say that we aren't trying to troll you. There is no concentrated effort to come to this board, it's just that the discussion was linked and we've independently decided to post our own opinions. If you think anyone is trying to troll you, please ban them, although from what I know they've all acted within the limits of what this board supports (Red_Mage called an individual out, but as far as I know that is an acceptable action on this board).

If the moderation feels that we are being disruptive feel free to do something about us, but as far as I know everyone that has come over has tried to make constructive posts.
