I personally don't care for banning a guy with opinions that differ from most. It is obvious this person is just trying to be irritating. What is more irritating is people actually respond to him. It's not like you are going to win any argument against him. Half of his ramblings make no sense. All he is looking for is attention and those that respond to him are giving him that attention.
If we stop responding then he will go away. Why don't we try that before we recommend the ban option?
As I said, all it takes is self discipline. Just don't respond and his posts will die.Originally Posted by ikestops85
FWIW:
1) My enjoyment of this forum has gone down lots since he started posting. I can't escape his drivel, and have no desire to read it.
2) There will always be someone one (or two or three) who won't ignore the guy. There's no way this forum becomes the 1st in history to make a troll go away by ignoring him. It's like economic sanctions - SOMEONE is going to break rank.
3) Putting him on ignore therefore doesn't work - he's like oil in the Gulf, his stuff seeps into lots of threads "just below the surface".
4) So the choices are: a) he gets tired of winding everyone up and leaves on his own (never happen), b) he keeps posting as he does and whatever happens to the forum happens , c) he is banned.
I agree with one of the posters above - he brings a certain attitude to this forum that is reminiscent of the Triblive before it imploded.

P.S. Maybe he should be suspended for at least 4 weeks, pending results of counselling![]()

We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!
HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!
I vote for a 6 week suspension that can be reduced to 4 weeks with counseling and good behavior. :POriginally Posted by SanAntonioSteelerFan

You can keep a thread alive without ever responding to a single post from a troublesome poster. They can post a hundred times but if you don't quote them or respond to them they are essentially froze out of the discussion.Originally Posted by papillon
That's true and sometimes that tactic gets in the way of the flow of the discussion. I agree with you, don't respond if you don't like the message or the tone. It will all work out at some point.Originally Posted by Oviedo

I think any member who is here merely to speak about one subject and obviously just stir the pot needs to go. Cruzer is right...free speech is not a given on an internet message board. I think every community has a right to keep itself troll free. We have a couple guys who just signed up to troll during the Ben fiasco. Who knows if they are Raven trolls or what.
But, personally I just ignore those guys...skip past their posts and don't respond to them. Anyway the community decides to handle it is fine by me. They don't even raise my eyebrow.
