How a troll is allowed to destroy a forum section

    As all of you know, there is a new troll here who has waged a war on this section, and even though many of us have complained, this person is allowed to continue the assault. I received this message earlier:

    ""Spam" means they are using ET to advertise in violation of our policy. "Troll" means they are being a nuisance, annoying, etc. If you are referring to _____ I haven't received any reports of his emailing promotional material to members. Have you? As far as the trolling and the large number of threads best to take Tsing Tao's approach and use the Ignore function. That way you won't see his posts nor any threads that he started."

    Ok.. The problem is, he's waged a war here, and yes, I have him on ignore, that's why I only see ten threads at this moment. If I log out, I can see the full thread count which averages 19 threads/page.

    Since the "annoying nuisance" is going to be allowed to pull his shit, it seems the posts here will dwindle, and that's a shame. My reply to the PM:
    "So would it be cool for me to post a bunch of useless, annoying stuff in an attempt to run his threads down the page as he does ours? Is this what we'll have to do in order to keep actual discussions going? He's waged a war on the politics and religion section, and it's literally lowering the post counts. So, he's winning..."
    :(
     
  2. I think he's great. Anything to counter the overwhelming stupidity of the right wing morons that infest this sit.

    fraudcurrents is the resident troll. I am surprised the resident troll is not jealous of the interloper troll.
    I guess its proof, misery loves company.

    Both just happen to be queers. Imagine that...
    And if this is how we've got to do business on et, looks like some here should start blasting in meaningless threads when the gopher shows up. Of course those of us who are working, will have a difficult time dealing with someone who's job title is "emailer." what a sad soul he must be. I see his as a loss for et for allowing it. Of course, being a queer, he is in a protected, coddled group, so looks to me et has no choice but let him do what he wants.

    Yea yea, anyone not posting right wing drivel in this section is a troll.

    Says the guy who insulted anyone who bothered to post that his Romney landslide delusions were unreal. No apology, no regrets while continuing to post from the same sources that predicted the BS.

    Who cares? Keep him on ignore and you can't see anything he says or creates. It's a perfect solve.

    Where is stu? Barely a week ago he was accusing me of "spamming". Apparently I added too many posts to existing threads. Now that we have a genuine spammer, nary a peep.

    of course the troll is misrepresenting the point of that thread in which we stated the early polls were very slanted and predicted they would adjust but election day. Which they did. Predictions of a landslide? Not serious ones.

    Even with the jem algo adjusting the polls to balance, Romney at best had a lead of just a few points outside the margin of error.
    And, it bounced back after Christie gave obama the hug after the storm.

    That thread was all about the polls being slanted. I kept reminding ak that polls do not make predictions... they sample what would happen if the election were the day of the poll.

    and note your are a spammer because you post multiple shit threads at once and then we have to post counter threads to cease you from occupying all the top spots.

    No shit I've got him on ignore. That's why 19 threads turn to 9-10 all of a sudden... Open your eyes. He's driving down threads with his spam, and that's caused less posts as most don't have the time to wage a war with the paid faggot. I don't have the time, nor will I make the time to do "battle" with an hiv-infected queer who's literally decimated a CAPITALIST BOARD where TRADING is the main theme.

    On a side note, if I were truly a genius, I could have made friends with the queer, as they get their growth hormone for "free," and usually sell it at a VERY cheap price to bodybuilders vs actually using it. Yes, their tissue-sparing growth hormone is paid for via courtesy of your tax $.
