Default Do not respond to trolls - just block them out

Every newsreader has "block the poster" function.
Use it to block the troll and remove his posts
from your newsgroup instead of discussing with them.

People using this group for years (like me) filter
trolls regularly to weed them out. If you reply
to trolls you give them what they want: attention.

If you use "block sender" each time he changes
the person he pretends to be the group will be
clean and trolls stop being the problem.
I do not see troll after initial message he posted.

Responding to trolls you fuel their behaviour.
Try to resist temptation to react :-)
Ignore them like there were not here.

Good luck!

p.s.
please, do not respond to this post unless you are
a troll and you have to do some trolling... :-)

Not too bad...

Troll has been added to the permanent filter
in my reader. Each of his new incarnation, too.
I do not even signal this event with the "plonk" msg.

Some other newsgroup users geting involved into
anoying discussion with troll like Gill, TheRock and
Tristan ended up in the filter for 2 weeks only.
To let them cool off and give them 2nd chance later :-)

So far it is not more than 30 entries in the kf.

Best way to filter the crap is to have your filter filter out anything
posted to more news groups than just rec.aquaria.marine.reefs. Legit
posts posted for this group are not crossposted.

That way, one can see whatever usefull stuff Tristan may post here, and
still not have to deal with the crap.

Well, I guess thanks for that (even though you won't see this Pszemol as
I'm in your killfile)....As I'm setting up a new tank in a few weeks
time I have a bit of a vested interest in people being around to share
my experiences and help with my newbie questions (and I don't like the
format of forums)

One thing that might be necessary to understand, certainly in the case
of me and Tristan, is that we have seen soooo many of our newsgroups go
down to this troll (ponds and freshwater groups) so yes, it might appear
to those that haven't shared this experience that we are over-reacting
when put in context it is to a certain degree understandable AND 2 1/2
years of putting up with it pushes even the most patient....and yes, we
should know better than to respond or join in.....I guess we are just
over zealous in our determination that this group doesn't follow the
others....We could see exactly what was being done.....and got very
frustrated that the troll seemed to be winning.....I can't answer for
The Rock as I don't know him very well......I have a sneaking suspicion
that I might have seen him on the freshwater groups which, if true,
might explain his reactions.

Anyway, I'm not going to post for a while on this group, as I'm pretty
sure that the troll will respond and carry on its vendetta if my name is
seen - especially as in just by replying to this I am acting as troll
bait....so, sorry for that.....

Just one other point....as the RFD and creation process for a new
moderated rec.ponds progresses (and hopefully comes to fruition) I am
worried that the troll activity will increase - especially targetted at
me as I am one of the proposed moderators....I hope that you can all
bear with these attacks and not give the troll the attention that it
craves....Another reason why I am going to go quiet on this group.....

Thanks for all the help that all members of the group have given to me
in my little Nano venture....I hope that there will be a troll free
group when I get my 350L tank in the next few weeks....

Sorry if I caused any problems for anyone - not intended

Gill

Its not really me that the problem lies Add homonym.......y'all talk
kill filters for me, its CArol Gulley and her million sock army that
trashed this place.I only added verbal discriptions of what was going
on as I have seen it all before more than once......I do not possess
any magic or super powers that enable me to see what the troll Carol
Gulley is doing. I just know her from her habits what is next and
what happens.....It also hepls to have a good fast server that keeps
up with posts as the are made instead of slow servers, and no
MOtzarella certainly is not may major server, and neither is shared
secrets and the others Carols prime news server.....Read it on one
post it on another....Block away, all you want, filters are defeatable
with very little trounble contrary to what old Genius Pszemol would
like to have you think.......But then y'alal don;t nbeed any help as a
"fix" was offered to Wayne that would effectively stopped this troll
but he decided he did not want to belong to any group as long as Gill
was involved..Now tell me what the hell did Gill have to do with this
or the price of Tea in china........Wayne was afraid his little world
was going to be sucked out from under his dominance and he would not
be center stage.........but his gamble failed........and differ all
you want, this group is trashed and eacnand every day, cross postsing
here and oddball screwed up crap is going tocome flowing into this
place, and its going to be old making filters on a daily basis, all
becuase of one idiots refusal to do what was right........and that
idot is Wayne and its not his refusal to issue an appology it was his
ignorant refusal and insinuation he made in regrads to putting this
troll CArol Gulley in her place........NOw this post and all others
will be pulled out and shot to all the other groups in an attempt to
stir up trouble in those groups for this groups bull****..........so
you can see this crap is not ever gonna end as long as CArol Gulley
continues to play her games, and I am not gong to p oint out each and
every nym used by the bitch as its plain and simple to see who she is
and what her intentins are....

This group is probablaaya more endowed with ignorant ****s that do not
have a clue as to who is who and what is posted by who than any other
usenet group I have ever seen. Idiots like Wayne, Pszemol and The Rock
and Inadum dune yunes can be thanked for that.....and of course your
arbitraily dropping in folks like Cheez Wiz who has neve rposted here
before.......and then all of a sudden show up with so called expert
advice and of course old katreena, who is yet just troll CArol
Gulley.....y'all were doomed from the git go to go tits up!

He posts too much bull**** about his x-wife Carol or whoever the hell she
is. The guy's obsessed. If he's not going on about the woman, he's insulting
other regulars. Who needs the aggravation? The guy's a slick troll. Better
to killfile him and move on.
