Troll season is definately here!
The only way to deal with them is to ignore and delete, don't fuel the fire by replying to them in any way.
Ways to spot a troll....too many to list!
Grammar is a big thing, you can't hide your style of grammar for any great length of time, it WILL sneak out in the end.
Email addys, look out for random ones. It's hard to keep track of email addys so they always fall in together and are somehow linked.....keeping track of more than 4-5 would be too much bother, thats why the life span of a troll on any one forum is limited to a few days at most.
Search the web with any info you have, it never fails....caught someone out recently with that tactic!
Admin and mods can see IP's etc etc, this is the nail in the coffin for any troll....especially when they try to say that you must be mistaken by thinking that they had 5 userID's.
Some will just hold their hands up and laugh about it before vanishing, others will just insult you to right to the end....one twisted individual even told me that I had the morals of an alley cat, trust me when I say that was a very rich comment coming from that individual.
(stones and glasshouses spring to mind
)
We have had lots of trolls on this forum over the years, some are very persistant, and others lack vigor....most strike in the wee small hours and are sussed out and deleted before morning....they're gone before you guys even notice in most cases!
You're a mighty suspicious bunch lately though!
