I have to admit, that occurred to me as well. I wondered if perhaps we were being set up to have an attack in "retaliation" for a banning, but thankfully that did not happen.

can someone remove the posts? especially the first one he posted in the dance thread. it has offensive language not suitable for young children, and is very insulting to berserker.

Sanitised.

We generally prefer not to remove posts, as it disrupts threads at least as much if the posts are removed as it does to leave the rubbish in place. E.g. should we remove the troll feeders' posts as well?

(Oh... and it would take time and effort, and we're an incredibly lazy bunch.)

Exactly. We rarely remove posts. We're quite happy to remove a whole topic, as it does not leave any confusion.

There seems to be quite a few trolls the last few days, is it a seasonal thing on WP?
The last forum I belonged to was called Convergys Sucks, back in 2002, 2004, that I had to mod, it was getting out of hand with the trolling, so I gave up and quit that forum

I've also noticed the trolls, that are feeding off of us.

Well... they only get scraps. You have to feed them occasionally, or they wouldn't perform their dance so well.

That's funny, no one's reported any trolls to me.

I prefer to let them starve, it's much more fun watching them flail about like a fish on land.

Go to the profile and under the post count is "find all posts by..."

Yeah, and then if you scroll through, you should find what you are looking for.

Ive come to the conclusion that Liverbird is quite a Troll as well. The stupid b***h only answers in sarcasm to serious inquiries and continues INSULTING other male WP members. Maybe she think she can get away with it cuz she's gotta uterus and allegedly can piss standing up :roll: .
