Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

Discussion in 'Feedback' started by baro-san, Jun 11, 2015.

  1. Its not personal disagreement. No personal attacks. Just conversation. Just because your argument has been destroyed by facts you call it trolling. Sad but true

    Its fact vs superstion, its science vs myth. And your side has lost.

    Great solution and such is used elsewhere.

    I know for fact I haven't started a thread at ET in many many years as others due to the fact I know I can't police my own thread. In addition, I know that any one on my ignore list...their messages is still viewable when "someone else" quotes that person.

    I thought the latter was fixed unless I have a glitch. :confused:

    If its not a glitch, the current ignore feature is very limited. Its like going to a party and you tell yourself to ignore someone. Yet, the person you're ignoring is standing next to you like something out of a Stephan King creepshow...a troll.

    Until that's fixed, I'll never start a thread at this forum...place around here getting a little scary.

    Being able to block specific users from your threads will be implemented this weekend.

    That is your opinion. So far. If you can demonstrate that, for example, the SLA entries are flawed, do so. Otherwise, you're just being a troll with a stealth vendor agenda.

    The jury's still out on this one. It might even gain traction

    Actually it's more like going to a party where there are a lot of small children who are unsupervised and particularly obnoxious, pulling on your pants leg and spilling things on your shoes.

    Or a plane full of same. Long haul. And filled to capacity.

    You just made MS's year. The Surf Report will now become an effective marketing tool for him.

    Any negative comments against "Price Drivers" or questions related to trade/risk mgmt.... <Click> another one added to the block list.

    It would be interesting to see a list of "those" blocked on each self moderated thread. Would be quite revealing on how "biased" a thread becomes.

  9. Thanks Baron. However, good news and bad news!

    Good news is ET will have a new and useful feature!

    Bad news is my own thread will have only myself alone! lol

    According to him, it's already an effective marketing tool. Why he isn't expected to pay a sponsor's fee is a mystery.

    As for negative comments about PD, who cares? Makes no difference to me how he trades or whether or not he makes money trading or if he trades at all. I just want to be allowed to carry on discussions with like-minded traders without having to filter out so much noise.

    If this new feature works, I'll be more than happy to try again. There are after all only a handful of people who qualify for the Ignore list (everybody else is too busy actually trading).
