On the subject of trolls, I treat them like a game of Lemmings... they come in one at a time and have no idea what's waiting for them when every single member of the community has the ability to flag them as a rule breaker, and every single member of the community has the right to vote on it but they are not told who they are voting about, only the offending comment + the rule it has allegedly broken.

Having trolls log in and be informed that they have been turned into Arnold Judas Rimmer and are now stuck like that is funny! It probably doesn't mean anything to the american audience because Rimmer was a highly annoying (but still oddly loved) character on a British Sitcom called Red Dwarf. He is a hologram, made up entirely of light and still manages to irritate everyone, oh and he's dead. Brilliant.

Couple that with the gigantic scrolling banner "Noob Mocker Device", and you got plenty of lulz from the trolls. But then the site I'm building is primarily a comedy house, not a "serious" work place fully of stuffy suited business types and long haired hippy programmers who put way too much personal emphasis and character basis on being an awesome wizard or a goblin or whatever, I can afford to have a more relaxed attitude.

Oh and btw when I fell out with John from TPUC over shall we say, religious grounds; He want's to turn off the internet, I had a whole bunch of TPUC monkeys doing their best to troll the hell out of ahoynoob, and the defences worked fine (once I'd finished them).

    Which is effectively down voting, something you previously (and I quote):

    claimed did not occur under your system.

    And out come the vague attempts at insults, that didn't take long.

      I give up you think whatever suits you.
