I am also in agreement with Dodger..
The problem lies in how to define who is a troll and while it seems obvious
to many of us, the line between a troll and an idiot can be very thin..

For reasons beyond my ken, jinks gives everyone second, third, fourth, etal chances
and then the same shit hits the fan and he finally bans and deletes them..
Why it is necessary to go thru this long painful process boggles my mind..
I would end the misery as soon as the troll showed himself but hey maybe that
is why I am not the moderator here..

We can turn to other gaythailand forums but they can be tepid and dull.. Topics
can expand endlessly about trivial points and the same few posters express the
same opinions endlessly and it often turns out to be a big yawn..
The smaller forums are too inbreed and the posters know each other, dine or socialize
together and have their own private humour, which is deadly boring ..
If I want to read a blog, I will read a blog and not an inbreed forum.

So, my unrequested and probably unheeded advice, is to report all offensive postings
using the report feature (it is the red!) and send jinks your thoughts on pms..btw, my ignore list is much larger than those few listed here and oops is not on it..
also beachlover is in my top ten list of best posters..
Like elephantspike, I have also advised using the ignore feature (foe list) but the constant
quoting of the trolls forces one to see their silly nonsense anyway but it is still a good idea.. :idea:
