Troublesome user...


Image

as you can see this is a very abusive person and i've tried everything to get rid of them...

-banning the first 5 digits of the ip
-banning individual usernames
-banning by email address

what can i do? and i'm not going private...doing it temporarily won't help either because i want to be public when the new season of lost starts, and when he sees us promoting he'll just come back again...

emoticon

btw i'm maddie

i should add that even after all these usernames are banned, they still appear at the top of the page...that's my beef. i don't mind banning them over and over, but they should disappear once banned

I'm sorry you're having such a problem.

The who's online feature lists everyone who looks at your board, regardless if they are banned or not. They will also still be able to read the posts.

You could reduce the listing time to 2 minutes for a while - that should shorten the list and maybe discourage that person. Alternatively, you could just disable the who's online completely - but that would also mean loss of control.

thanks, i saw you over there, he was gone by the time you go there though! that always happens...

i'm gonna try to get him to leave us be by talking it out...but i might eventually go with your suggestion of reducing the list time

Well, it seems you got a professional troll there.

I hope talking it out works. Just in case it doesn't: Usually, completely ignoring a troll, banning him and deleting his posts without comment will eventually make them stop their behaviour. It's attention that trolls want, and what they live for. Take away the attention, and the troll leaves eventually to look for other playing fields.

Either way, I do hope you can resolve the problem.

It's really the best advice I can give you:

Ignore him. Delete his posts, ban him and do nothing else. Don't answer mail by him (and ask your fellow admins and mods to do likewise). Don't start a thread on your board on how annoying he is unless it's hidden - shun him.

If he gets no stir out of anyone with all his efforts, he will leave. That's been the experience with almost every troll on Runboard.
