Punkass Trolls

My guess is that they aren't really reading the threads before joining and posting though. So Gunny might have to go commando on them.

How would Gunny not wearing underwear have any effect?

Well, he is the big swinging dick here....

We could be going from the Frying pan into the Fire here......

that was what i was thinking.

But that's ALL I wear .....

Everybody ***** with the Gunny... but only once!

Meh, some of us are brave enough to risk a second screw. Not many though.

That depends on if the slot was stripped the first time.

 

[RadiomanATL]

You know better.

Is the open registration policy the one where all new member's posts are moderated prior to posting to the main board?

You mean they're checked to make sure they aren't automated trolls? Yeah, that one.

I think we're talking about the same thing, yeah. I just know it from the user side of things. Previous boards I've been on have put my posts in limbo until someone in authority sees them and approves of them.

What's the downside of instituting that temporarily?

Open registration is fine.
One trick that works pretty well is that new members cannot create threads until they have made a minimum of 100 posts in existing threads.

Doesn't happen here.

Except the script trolls were doing it in existing threads and not starting new ones.

I can handle the annoying Emma trolls. They just post words on a screen. Harmless if annoying. The script trolls though... I'm not enough of a computer geek to know if what they are trying to do is malicious or basically just harmlessly annoying. But they worry me a bit more than the purely annoying Emma-types.

Good.

I hate that shit.

We don't need no Democrat approach to the forum!

It takes a lot of mod time to go over all of that stuff. Good trolls know to behave themselves until they are let out of their caves.

Most would leave if that kind of restrictions are put on them.

 

[California Girl]

Yeah, they are causing me to have all kinds of fun

For the record, you've done a shit hot job of keepin' 'em at bay.

There is a different word for them: Hacker.

We got incoming.... ahmod.

It is annoying.
Especially the storm-front types. These idiots occasionally try to setup camp, but they are easy to see and aren't all that bright.
We had an infiltration of pro-Palestinians on another board - that was a little rough. It took a good 2-3 months to get rid of them.

I classify them as wannabe hackers.

Hackers don't need to create an account and post something in a thread. They attack from another direction.

I agree.

A Mod.

uh-huh.

Not my fault, I could only find a hammer. I'm a girl. I don't know my screws from my nails.
