Exclamation <<>> Trolls ! ! ! ! <<>>

Alright now that I am back to take some workload off of Dave and Brett I have been reading about and getting messages about troll usage.

They are all well and good from time to time but now it is getting out of hand. Enough so that some people are not coming back anymore because of it or posting less. This is not going to be allowed to happen !

It has taken to long to build up our forum and it has always been a notch above the other tech forums in many ways.

So with that said I am going to give the people who have been abusing the trolls a chance to knock it off. Every once and a great while, fine. Using multiple trolls, not so much. If this continues I am going to start banning the troll names that I know of for sure and get Zate on the ass of the others I do not know about for sure. We there several other things that can be done to filter trolls but I do not think we need to go there since we are all adults here. ( minus BAMF ) .

Everyone agree here or have anything to add ? Just trying to get us back on track here before summer is over and the activity ramps back up.

Thanks

I don't think the trolls got any more out of hand than certain people on their normal screen names did. But I see where you guys are coming from.

Trolls FTMFL. If you're not man (or woman) enough to say what it is that you're meaning to say on your own fuggin' screen name, then you shouldn't say it at all. I personally think it's a childish cop-out, I think it's heartless, and I think it's gutless.

Anything I say, good, bad, or ugly - I say under my own name, and under the pretense of knowing my own reputation is at stake.

Funny, I stopped coming to Ford Tech (until now) because some 53 year old man under his usual log in decided to get drunk 3 nights in a row and cause a bunch of shit.

I never had a problem with the trolls... they are funny. People need to lighten up... and the admins need to focus on the trash that should have been taken out long ago.
