sglad comments:

Really? For all your talk of your loving, saintly boyfriend Pee Pee - and I guess it's just that, talk - one would think you would want to spend an eternity with him, not watching a bunch of whores eat, gather and walk past.

Dodger's comments:

Oliver, if you haven't figured it out yet, sglad is just another Troll, and very possibly another one of Stevie's hydra's.

I've just placed him on "Ignore" and suggest that you and the other members do the same.

sglad, Not that I expect you to adhere to my request, but you are not welcome as a poster on any of the Posts that I have started. Find somewhere else to spread your insulting comments. It's obvious that you're only motivation on this Board is to antagonize and insult our members, something I have little tolerance for.

Moderators, I have placed a "red triangle" on sglad's response to Oliver and would request that his comments be removed from this thread.

Better yet, remove him from our universe.

I think the curiosity that I expressed over Oliver's comments is not misplaced. Like yourself, Oliver takes himself, and more specifically, his sense of goodness, kindness and moral superiority very seriously. The likes of him, and you, are not above berating others for the slightest perceived transgressions against the Thai people even if they are made in tongue-in-ass-cheek (latintopxxx for example). So when he makes statements against his own moral code and years of professed love for his boyfriend, then I am entitled to - how do you say it - red triangle it.

Dodger, I think you're missing the concept of the word "ignore".

Dodger, I think you're missing the concept of the word "ignore".

No, I just forgot to put the asshole on "Ignore" before.

In your case, I changed my mind.

Could not agree more. sglad is Beachlover Mark 2.

sglad was outed as a hydra some years ago after he had trashed a couple of members. Then he was banned. For an inexplicable reason, he was allowed back. Once banned, always banned is surely the rule. Will the moderators please advise members why sglad is still permitted to post?

He has long ago dropped the fiction that he is from Singapore, that he ever studied in Chiang Mai and that he is a "lad". He is no Singaporean and he is no Asian. He is just a cheat (hydra) and Board disruptor . He should be permanently banned. Putting him on ignore only fuels his fantasy life.

Merely as a point of clarification, I note the following -

4.2.3 On a third or subsequent occasion, the member may be banned for a minimum of six (6) months or such greater period as the Owner determines and advised by PM. Additional sanctions may be applied to hydras and their owners including a suspension of PM privileges.

As far as I am aware, this rule existed when the ownership of the Board changed. The rule itself is basically clear. A banning is by PM. Yet in the case of sglad and his alter ego sugargrandpa, the banning by Surfcrest was done in public in a public posts!! And the withdrawal of the ban was also done by a public post.

Later on 24 Feb 2017 Surfcrest wrote this in a public post -

"Members,

If Sglad or Sugargrandpa return I'll know and I'll let you know. So far, this hasn't happened, nor has Beachlover been back so please leave the CIA work to me."

On 26 Oct 2017 bobsaigon2 wrote the following in a post -

"Sglad was banned after it was clear that he was a hydra, and then he was invited back to the Forum, perhaps just to annoy those who merited the owner’s disfavor." And a447 was also publicly banned for a time.

I wonder therefore why all the actions re sglad were in fact done publicly! Then Surfcrest permits sglad back on the Board without notifying anyone - as he had promised. sglad had been outed as a hydra. The fact that the issue had been aired publicly is the only reason I have discussed the issue here.

On Feb 10 2015 Surfcrest publicly outed others who had been banned from the Board -

"To date, the small list of those living members not with us includes; kjun12, Smoothlegs (Ron), Zebedee, Timmberty, Khor Tose and now firecat69"

Incidentally a SugarDad also made a post on 1 August last year. Are we to know if he part of the sglad hydra?

I feel sad for Armando/fountainhall/PeterRS etc. It's been four years since I declined his advances (when he was fountainhall) and he still hasn't got over me. I think that's why his loyal lapdog a447 has moved his latest diatribe to this forum to prevent him from further embarrassment. In the past four years, I've achieved several personal and professional milestones but what has Armando/fountainhall accomplished in that time? I see he is still flouncing from forum to forum under different names; stomping his foot like the 80-year-old girl that he is whenever he couldn't get his nemeses banned viz frequent/StevieWonders, Manforallseasons/Undaunted, etc. The fountainhall moniker has now been retired in all three gay Thailand forums but he is still so very bitter. Just look at the intricate detail of his post above - clearly he hasn't been able to move on.

Incidentally, Armando registered on this forum on August 2020 and I registered in December 2016, almost four years years earlier yet he seems to know my alleged posting history so intimately. Amazing Thailand! Get over it, fountainhall, and pay someone to like you as you normally do. Use whatever time you've got left to have fun and enjoy yourself. I'm not and never will be interested.

[Brad the Impala]

I do hope someone is keeping tally of all the posters who have posted under other names, because I really can't be bothered. Sometimes it seems as if the majority have posted at some stage under another name.

[arsenal]

Ah yes. I see it all now. foutainhall wooed sglad when sglad was a fresh faced firm buttocked lithe and springy student from Singapore but was spurned. Now revenge is on the menu as an incognito fountainhall disguised as Armando stalks his previous quarry. Sglad, since those heady salad days has transformed himself into a bitter, spiteful and often repellent old queen with a saggy arse and iverbal incontinence but still spurns his former suitor. The course of true love blah blah blah... Meanwhile Matt, our previously untouchable winner of 'board fantasist' is emerging as the rather genial giver of rational common sense. Whatever next. Keep watching folks.

I love a good laugh! Don't you just love it when the hydra sglad spouts the multiple fictions he has been trying to get posters to believe ever since he first joined. He clearly does not know how this Board functions. It does have a decent Search function.

Although no one now on this Board clearly believes he was ever who he claimed to be - just like the finally departed Beachlover, although at least Beachlover made a valiant attempt to keep up his own fiction until he was banned everywhere - the only method sglad uses on this Board is to attack other posters. When there is no one around to attack he just makes up yet another of his attack dog fictions. It's just sooo boring! Give it up hydra sglad. How is your Sugargrandpa, by the way? So many now have you on ignore your fictions here will be of interest only to yourself. Time to go back to your Board. I know Cruising for Sex is 99.99% dead. You might even be of some little use to the gay world by spending your time trying to revive it.

Bye!

[Moses]

I'm really pissed off by this carnival.

Guys, I should remind to all, what board rules are: we don't discuss hydras/clones on public. Use red triangle and provide proof. If you have no proof - well, what we are talking about then?

Should I push penalty for each public accusation in account cloning without proof? Or you will stop this stupid (yes!!! - you are adult) bazaar?

For "short-memory" people I remind: we had proof of Frequent/Sglad clones and Frequent has been permanently banned while Sglad as more older account was punished by 6 months of temp.ban (I think it was 6, but not sure about length and I am lazy to check records).

To Sglad (it is admin's note, no need to answer): your intention to insult people is out of your control now. Please watch it closely: I don't like when one member insulting another member. Post may be provocative or sensational, but it should never be insulting. I made this public warning for to make my hands free: next my action will be temp.ban.

To all: if this carousel will not stopped, I will force 1 day temp.ban for public accusation in cloning without proof.

[goji]

To all: if this carousel will not stopped, I will force 1 day temp.ban for public accusation in cloning without proof.

If I understand correctly:
1 Hydras, clones and trolls are not to be banned (since obtaining proof is impossible, even when it is highly obvious)
2 Genuine board members who call out the hydras get banned ?


It follows that the quality of board content will decline, due to the protection of hydras & trolls, so membership will become less valuable. Hence getting banned would not be a cause for sleepless nights.

A logical response by members:
Put the hydras, trolls and clones on ignore.
Post much less often (which I need to do anyway).
Carry on calling out the hydras, since if the place is infested with them, losing posting privileges doesn't matter as much.

[mr giggles]

Use red triangle and provide proof. If you have no proof - well, what we are talking about then?
.

Agreed

[arsenal]

I will continue to call out the nefarious behaviour of the collective mrgiggles et al and take the 24 hour ban. Probably starting now. As goji has pointed out, the appeal of posting here is diminishing by the day.

[cdnmatt]

I know you have me on ignore, but what constitutes a troll goji? You think I'm a troll and would have me banned in a heartbeat, so there's that... How about MFAS? He only posts nagative shit, so is he a troll? Or is he cool in your book, because he's a bitter old man, same as you?

We can't have Moses just going around banning someone everytime an 80 year old has a mood swing. Then you're just going to end up with a small group of 80 year olds complaining there's no activity on the forum.

Most importantly, it's YOU guys that are causing all the noise and disruption, not the so-called trolls. It's YOU guys. Seems like everytime I come to this forum now I have to put up with a bunch of cranky old guys flailing their arms like rabid lemurs, "there's a troll, there's a troll!". Stop doing it, and ignore those you don't like.

This is basic shit we learned when we were 4 years old and going to pre-school. Ignore the not nice kids, and go play with your friends. It's really not that novell of a concept.

IFor "short-memory" people I remind: we had proof of Frequent/Sglad clones and Frequent has been permanently banned while Sglad as more older account was punished by 6 months of temp.ban (I think it was 6, but not sure about length and I am lazy to check records).

I endorse Moses comments and will self-moderate comments about other posters.

So now we know that sglad was banned because he was a hydra posting at the same time as sugargrandpa AND he was banned again because he was posting as sglad AND Frequent. I don't expect an answer, but I wonder how many times a hydra is permitted to return and continue with posting privileges before a total ban is put into effect.

[Moses]

That's typical "proof" for inquisition, witch-hunting or for lynching...

For your surprise: wanna see who of users log-in to forum from the same IP what are used by sglad?

We forever ban clones but we don't ban "puppeteer" forever. Most old account from clones we count as puppeteer and only temp.ban it as a penalty for creating clone.

That was all explained in detail at the time, if you were here as a different member name back then. I’d encourage you to use the search button, instead of rewriting history.

And please don’t confuse publicly with transparency.

Will you tell us what other handles you have posted under? You seem to know a lot about the history of posters for someone who only registered nine months ago!

Perhaps we should have our version of the Truth and Reconcliation Commisission whereby everyone comes clean and we can go back to posting, and reading, about the more important things in life.

I'll start it off. I used to post as Charles, and then about 15 or 20 years ago we all had to re-register for some reason and needed to choose a different handle. Clearly I could have chosen something imaginative like Charles 2, but for some reason I went completely over the top(possibly pissed), but have nevertheless stuck with this name ever since.

[Moses]

I'll start it off.

I'm here from 2009. The same nickname as I have now. In about 2011 (?) Neil banned me because my email is from Russia and forum was under spam-attacks from Russia. In 2016 I reregistered.

[cdnmatt]

I'm easy, I've always been cdnmatt and have never posted under another handle.

Oh, that's wrong... I did have another handle here for a bit, I think the name was Dante or soemthing. Was only used temporarily while I helped Surfcrest out with some of the tech stuff, or at least tried toe as much as my time permitted at the time.

Darn it, I was going to play, but I just got my heart broken by CDM. All this time I thought he was the drunk that was always on the gay boards (especially Neals) and who ran the bitch board. That must have been some other asshole. Armondo two things:
1. Have you ever for a moment Considered that sglad may not have to be a hydra if he had friends who work with him for reasons of their own. It could be just to fuck with you.
2. John Lauder aka Lord Fountainhall was a brilliant Scottish Jurist. He did not get crabby or judgemental in his older age. Just a thought.

Ah heck: I was on the bitch board as a different persona but always khortose everywhere else TO THE BEST OF MY MEMORY.

An IP lookup website shows all of those IP addresses are in Australia. I've never accessed this forum from in Australia and do not use a VPN. Almost all of of my access this year has been from Thailand & the UK. I believe it's the same for another genuine member on that list.
A third member is blogging from Cambodia.
So how can that IP data be useful ?

Meanwhile, it remains obvious that certain handles are clones.

[cdnmatt]

Wouldn't worry too much about the location of someone's IP address. Here, I'm in Australia now too...

[cdnmatt]

Now I'm in Thailand.

For "short-memory" people I remind: we had proof of Frequent/Sglad clones and Frequent has been permanently banned while Sglad as more older account was punished by 6 months of temp.ban (I think it was 6, but not sure about length and I am lazy to check records).So “frequent” was “sglad” all along? Amazing!

So now we know that sglad was banned because he was a hydra posting at the same time as sugargrandpa AND he was banned again because he was posting as sglad AND Frequent.

With respect sglad I am neither twisting other people's words nor do I have an agenda. I have merely taken Surcrest's suggestion literally and read precisely what he wrote.

If you care to take some of your time to look back, you will note that on 19 February 2017 Surfcrest wrote this -

"Members,

Sugargrandpa and sglad have been banned as they are one and the same poster...or a hydra.
As you know, I don't ban members very often and certainly not without violating any of our few..."

That sglad is fact. As far as your also posting as Frequent, I refer you to Moses post #14 above which includes the following -

'we had proof of Frequent/Sglad clones and Frequent has been permanently banned while Sglad as more older account was punished by 6 months of temp.ban."

Now I am curious. In what way have these two very clear statements obfuscated in any way what the two gentlemen actually wrote? Since they are direct quotes, I fail to understand your concern.

[Brad the Impala]

I think that you misread Moses' comments to mean that "Frequent/Sglad were the same person. I didn't read his comments that way, but understood him to mean that he was referring to two separate posters, as he went on to refer to his separate actions against them individually.

Now, as you are pointing the finger, perhaps you could also answer the question about your own posting history.

I did indeed assume that Moses comment meant that if one of the two was banned, then they were probably the same person posting. But I am not sure what a clone really unless it is one person using another's name.

As for me, I did post many years ago when the Board was run by or about to be run by Neal but I have no idea what name I registered under. Like quite a number of posters, I have used different names for different reasons. As for history, did you not read Surfcrest's post - and indeed my earlier post? The Search function in this forum is particularly good - unlike another board I could name. It is easy looking up names and posts. And it is easy finding out the background to a particular course of action. You could join today and with an inquiring mind find out the course of a topic of discussion a number of years ago. It does take up a bit of time, but then when others make allegations that are incorrect, it is quite easy to find out if they were indeed incorrect to correct. You should try it.

[Brad the Impala]

But you don't remember any of the names that you previously used here?! Unlikely.

That all sounds pretty obsessive to me, if you are really spending your time backtracking over everyone's posts in order to prove, to yourself if no one else, that A once posted as B. But not obsessive enough to remember your own previous names.

Hmmm. Perhaps you should use the search function to remind yourself, apparently it's very good!

[Armando]

But you don't remember any of the names that you previously used here?! Unlikely.!
You remember all the passwords you have used over the years for all your various cards, accounts, memberships and so on? I certainly have no clue what I was using ten years ago.


That all sounds pretty obsessive to me, if you are really spending your time backtracking over everyone's posts in order to prove, to yourself if no one else, that A once posted as B. But not obsessive enough to remember your own previous names.
That is not what I did and not what I said i did. You put words in my mouth. You clearly have no idea how the Search function works and how easy it is to find the posting of ONE member. Sometimes that can lead you to another what another member wrote. As i said try it. It can take up 5 - 10 minutes of your time. But then if you don't believe something, nothing is going to persuade you. Fine.

Even if I did remember, I see no reason to reveal whatever posting name/s I might have used in the past. It's irrelevant. After all, did you not write this earlier in this thread in Post#11?


I do hope someone is keeping tally of all the posters who have posted under other names, because I really can't be bothered. Sometimes it seems as if the majority have posted at some stage under another name.

[Dodger]

Indeed. Having you post the news, followed by Dodger repeating it a day or two later, becomes tedious. Especially when the repetition is accompanied by the whole jaded expat schtick of running down the country you have chosen to inhabit.

Brad, I have the Board Troll and his hydras on ignore. So I don't read anything they post.

If you don't like the repetition, then don't participate in this post. Up2U.

As far as your dig about my jaded views, and putting down Thailand goes, I look at everything in life objectively...give credit where credit is due...and criticize conditions when I think it's warranted, including the place I call home. That's my prerogative, and I respect people who do the same.

There are a lot of wonderful things I love about Thailand, otherwise, I wouldn't be here. But I see it for what it is: The good, the bad, and the ugly. Ignoring these aspects of one's environment is where "jaded" comes from. Maybe that's your cup of tea - but it's not mine.

It's fine for you and Goji to have other posters on ignore, it's just not great for everyone else having an echo on the board that repeats what someone else has already written/linked to. There is obviously no way of checking a duplication without reading the post!

[Nirish guy]

yeah - and just imagine how good it would be if that one poster didn't bother posting under their usual multiple handles, leading to people to not HAVE to put them on ignore in the first place !

Just imagine if they perhaps started posting just like a sane normal person for a change, who didn't sit replying to their own posts under different names and carrying on conversations "with themselves" like a crazy person - wouldn't that be just great - in the meantime while that's still being allowed to happen people are quite right and quite entitled to put them on ignore - for the sake of THEIR own sanity if nothing else.

It's not just me and Goji that have the Board Troll and his hydras on "ignore", it's the majority of active members who do most of the posting here who have them on "ignore". So for us, there's no concern about reading duplicate posts.

If you're bothered by having to read duplicate posts, then why are you reading duplicate posts? The posts that have you upset now both pertain to "the reopening of Thailand". It says so right in the titles. That being the case, you didn't even have to bother opening the duplicate, making the basis of your complaint meritless.

It's not the duplicate post that has you upset. It's something else. And that's something you'll have to work out with yourself. Don't continue to derail our discussions with your baseless complaints. It's getting to be a bit much.

Now that you've involved yourself in 2 posts pertaining to the same topic, is there a reason why you didn't contribute to the topic?

Just what the board needs is an amateur psychiatrist with faux buddhist philosophy and a power complex.

[goji]

1 I'll carry on using the ignore feature as I see fit. I highly recommend it to ignore people who never add anything positive to the discussion. I have just added one participant in this thread to the list today.

2 It would be preferable if people refrain from quoting those on IGNORE lists purely so we don't miss their posts. We INTEND to miss their posts, so please only quote them if there is a specific reply you are making to their content.
Of course there is no obligation to do that, but anyone mainly quoting ignored members can easily be added to my ignore list.

3 If I or other members occasionally & accidentally duplicate something by an ignored member and that is unacceptable for certain people, they are free to put me or the other members on their ignore lists.

Complaining is unlikely to be effective, particularly when we don't even see the complaints.
[Long list of ignored posts to follow]

[Manforallseasons]

In the many years I’ve been on this board only lately do I use the ignore function however, by continuing the conversation about said trolls you in fact feed them the attention they need to continue so ignore them as well and don’t bother with a discussion about them.

[arsenal]

I'm sorry Goji but you don't have the right to expect others to not quote those on your ignore list. It's an infringement.

[Mancs]

If every member kindly sends me their full ignore list I will endeavour not to quote anybody on it.

yeah - and just imagine how good it would be if that one poster didn't bother posting under their usual multiple handles, leading to people to not HAVE to put them on ignore in the first place !



The thing is I, for one, don't believe all the paranoia about so many posters being someone else. You suspect that some posters may be multiple hydras, but Moses denies it. We know, or suspect, that some posters have previously posted under other names, but no one to my satisfaction has demonstrated beyond reasonable that anyone has posted under multiple handles at the same time.

If all these names that are bandied about as heads of hydras actually were hydras, aren't the Gang of Five just drawing attention to them by continuously stating this. What is that going to achieve......? Can't you all just ignore, in the normal way, those people who you believe to be hydras without making such a song and dance about it!

Have we had many new posters joining us recently? No because as soon as they appear they are jumped on as clones by the Gang of Five. They may be or they may not be, but can't people just take as they find! If you don't want to engage with a poster don't, but just because you don't want to there is no need to exhort everyone else to ignore or abuse!

Apologies NIrish, this is not all directed at you alone, but at the group who share your stated perspective.

For me, a couple of the people referred to as clones are actually the most perceptive and knowledgeable about real Thailand as opposed to Pattaya of all the posters here, and they have very different viewpoints and are absolutely not the same person. I say that, puffing out chest, as someone who has been visiting Thailand as backpacker, as employee, as businessman and holidaying as entitled visitor, for 50 years.

I would just note also that the Gang of Five have all been on the wrong side of a particular acerbic tongue, as have I, but that doesn't justify a campaign to get said poster banned or ignored. It's the internet, it's a forum, it isn't a fireside chat, get over it. I, for one again, am happy that writing complacent bullshit is called out on this forum.

[Nirish guy]

Apologies NIrish, this is not all directed at you alone, but at the group who share your stated perspective.

I would just note also that the Gang of Five ....

Noted - and nor should it be and as far as I'm concerned there is no 'gang" of anything - I think for myself and the fact that others seem to have reached the same conclusions is just not so surprising as far as I can see. The fact the you hold a different view doesn't make you a gang of "one" ( or two or however other many people may share you view) - that's just your opinion, which you're as equally entitled to hold as I and others are of course.

And re banning anyone, I dont believe I've ever called for that, I simply believe we should all have one profile and post under it as per the rules for the long term good of the board in general, it's really not that much of a thing to expect perhaps with such a small number of posters and the subjects that we cover I would have thought.

But as I said to Moses when I last commented on this topic a while ago now ago ( as like others I REALLY couldn't be arsed even getting into it anymore here as the whole thing has just become farcical in my opinion and personally have just started posting elsewhere now again when I feel like it to avoid all this nonsense). Bottom line - It's Moses' board, his rules and he's made his view very clear on the subject so that's that - and as I said to him back then - "good luck!"

As to whether posters use the ignore function or "literally" just ignore a poster ( and their hydras) is of totally up to them each of course and this is the whole point of the "ignore" function and why it's provided . We can't really complain about someone posting a topic close to a similar topic that may have coincidentally posted already by someone who THEY have on ignore, when of course they wouldn't have seen that post in the first place- that's hardly that 2nd posters fault.

Also when posters then decide to "repost" a posters comments "for information" ( or no good reason some might say) that too simply defeats the whole purpose of the ignore function surely for those who have chosen to use it, meaning those like myself who dont bother using the ignore button ( for the very reasons outlined above ) just end up having to read the same post concerned multiple times over - with THAT then perhaps leading to posters starting to use the ignore button ! This then just adding to the problem of the communication between members just going round and round in ever decreasing circles until it disappears up it's own arse - perhaps for good.

But anyway, like I said to Moses "good luck" - I for one simply ignore what I dont like here and move on as best I can - just as you seem to be suggesting- others can and should and are entitled to do just whatever THEY please too of course.

[goji]

...when posters then decide to "repost" a posters comments "for information"

The "for information" quotes are all I am suggesting people stop. ie Quoting something because they KNOW others are ignoring it.

Merely a suggestion, as if people choose otherwise on a regular basis, there is always room to expand our ignore lists.

Just because you have no sense of humour that’s no reason to impute such a failure to others.

As a Pastafarian with a particular devotion to Saint @TitaniaMcGrath I've always found Dodgems' insights into Thai Buddhism, especially the role of the Spirit House, invaluable.

The fact that a moderator was editing Matt's comments about his abuser at the same time as these posts were made, and within an hour of Matt's posts being made, makes me think that that moderator is partial in his role. Both posts are breaches of rules, but one is edited pronto and one is allowed to stand as is.

Here you go again, defocusing from the real issue and blaming others for your own actions.

You’ve been connected to the hip of our Board Troll for many years - going back to when he called himself "frequent", and now you act as if you don’t know he has multiple handles and is trolling our Board. You may be able to sell that crap to the fans, but you can’t sell it to the players.

You’re either in total denial about Stevie having multiple handles and trolling our Board, or you see it, but continue supporting these actions anyway because it serves a greater purpose for you personally somewhere down the line. That’s your prerogative. Nobody cares, including me. That’s what freedom of choice and freedom of speech are all about.

I asked you a question the last time you had yourself all upset that you never answered: Why don’t you just put me and the other members you have issue with on “Ignore” and just call it a day?

From your own mouth:…” it's impossible to ignore when you guys keep banging on about it all the time.”

Brad, this is just another one of your deceptive and manipulative comments. The choice to “read” or “ignore” is totally your decision, and you known it. I’d tell you to grow up, but after spending the past half century in Thailand (as you claimed) you’ve certainly reached the point where most people become mature.

Brad is upset that the Board troll and most of his hydras are gone, and he now appears to be going through a withdrawal phase.

Further updates as they happen..

Annual updates would be sufficient.

You gotta luv the newest of the Trolls tactics.

1) Post a new topic as a "New Member" (using another alias moniker of course)
2) Makes sure that the content of the post is so ridiculous that it will draw negative feedback.
3) Use that negative feedback to support bogus claims that new member's are being discouraged from posting on Sawatdee.

Take a look at the recent post about "LGBT and Buddhism" posted by a supposed new member. The OP (I'll let you figure out who it is) jumped the gun and started complaining about members being negative about his post - before members even started to get negative. Opps...just too funny!

My solution to this childish behavior is to simply use the "Ignore" option again. Works like a charm.

Matt and Brad, before you even respond with your meaningless dribble, don't bother. Your both on "Ignore" where you belong.

Good call.

One way to encourage genuine new members might be to set their accounts up with a standard "ignore" list so they don't see all the output from the trolls. If anyone cares about getting some genuine new members.

Another PM from internet bunny boiler steviewonders. It's like being pen pals with one of the inmates on death row.

I don't even know what it meant. It was so garbled that after a couple of lines I stopped reading.

Yet another pm from internet bunny boiler. I didn't read this one. The last one was strong medication induced incoherent and I couldn't be bothered to try and decipher more of the same.

Well, you guys constantly bitching and complaining about hydras got what you wished for. I haven't seen the board this dead yet, I don't think.

Personally I'd rather have it like this ( or something like that) rather than reading one man crazily posting posts (to himself) and then arguing and answering them to himself again and again, whilst also intentionally wasting other peoples time in trying to suck them in to answering his made up posts, while trying to start rows and suck others in to his own little world of slightly worrying craziness - but maybe that's me.

Well, if what you suggested is happening, then Moses would ban any such Hydra immediately.

Has he done that, no? Or do you doubt him?

Or do you just enjoy stirring the pot?

Another PM from steviewonders. Again, deleted unread.

As you know, many of the other Board members had the Troll on ignore for quite some time before he vanished. It's possible that he can only send PM's to those who have not placed him on "Ignore". Only Moses would know the answer to that.

If by chance the Troll can still find a way to send his victim a PM after he's been placed on "Ignore", than that falls under the definition of "Cyberstalking", which is a criminal offense in certain jurisdictions.

You may want to check with Moses to find the best way to handle this.

You may also consider saving an electronic version of any/all messages sent to you by the Troll as evidence if ever needed for legal purposes.

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

[Patanawet]

So where has he gone?
His ego would not let his words of wisdom disappear.
Is he still here as a hydra or emigrated to another board?
I do like to keep my ignore list current.

[Nirish guy]

So where has he gone?.

Who cares, as that particular silence is just lovely so lets hope it stays that way for a LONG time !
