So yeah got confirmation basically the trolls went over the line and its against On3 policy to ban IP addresses so they decided to nuke the OT board. Based on the conversation with Kakert he asked if I had an idea to control the trolls, and I said its to ban them but you are unable to do that. I don't see that board ever opening back up again.
It seems like a weird policy to not do the thing that would solve the problem.

Should just use the ignore aggregate stats to ban posters.

My only concern with this whole migration is whether Brian is going to post 50 late-night threads asking questions like 'have you ever had a toenail fungus?"

The moral of the story for all is, going forward, perhaps best not to jump into the name-calling, uh-uh/yuh-huh dynamics and instead to simply not take the troll bait.

Or at least, use the "yes and" principle of improvisational comedy, and accept a ridiculous point but build on it in a comedic way that illustrates its ridiculousness.

Now it sounds like these individuals just constantly were griping with the mods and their focus was as much on harassing them as it was the board. I mean if you are going to make an AI video of a mod and make comments about his wife you got issues.

Wish they would have gone to posting pictures of their hands and going to meet at a bar for fight night. LOL

Not to mention he easily had 30+ handles ready to go. All w/ the same creation date. When you have someone with the combination of mental issues and too much free time, it usually doesn't end well.

Indeed, "don't be a whiner" is pretty sound advice as well.

Our mods have a very laissez-faire attitude towards the more right wing trolls.

equal opportunity, actually, to the degree that i've never even perceived there to be mods.

We've had several left of center posters banned over the years (I'm not going to say they didn't earn it) and we have a lot of rule breaking comments from the right wing trolls. I'll confess that I take an exceptionally dim view on sexism and homophobia.
