No, I figured I would change account names because I did not want to use my name for every post. I used my name on IMDb because I actually have acting credits on there. On here, since I do not have to put any credits, I decided to go with another account name. Once trolls get a hold of my name, who knows what they could do with it or are all ready trying to do.
Yes, it could turn new lurkers away. I never thought of that.
Well, that's a bummer. I am sorry you think that. I am someone, who you knew yesterday, and we were both being trolled remember?
If they have a mental ailment and that causes them to troll, they should be banished. If that is the excuse used, then they need to overcome it. In the real world, they should be accommodated. When I am trying to write to people online and they border on being stalkerish, it is a whole different story.
Actually, on this site, one can use one email to have multiple accounts. I know myself because I had done it today when klownz and I were trying to figure out if we could use our old IMDb account names on here. There should only be one email associated with an account name.
Jim,
This was brought up by several users here. Instead of letting a third party decide who to ban, why not consider an ignore button? This button could be open to every user and really, the troll would never have to be banned at all. I am not FOR trolls by any means, BUT maybe then only the people that actually want to write to the troll can. The users who ignore the troll would not have to put up with them and I am sure the trolling would also die down. Not a bad idea.
You do have a point. Actually an ignore button and report would be good enough. Really, the ignore button would be the best bet, so no one ends up being banned and the troll can maybe improve his/herself. If you knew that everyone in the vicinity ignored you and only new users had you unignored, I am sure it would probably make that troll stop.
No, I was just poking fun at the reward they gave you. I mean they give you a t-shirt when you are helping moderate and I was thinking to myself "So what could a t-shirt possibly be useful for?" So then I thought, "well instead of giving you a t-shirt, they should give a more intimidating look to the account names to really scare away the trolls."
You think of mods like cops. But behind a computer and giving you a shirt for all your work, it is not really doing much. It's like a cop without a gun and only a bullet proof vest.
Ben could be Dan, Gameboy, Betty, and bradnorton. In fact, he could be all of them because I think the same troll uses all those account names.
That's true. Then again, how many Americans can actually get women?
