I visit lots of forums out there in computer land. Many forums use the same software as this one. Occasionally, what are known as "trolls" come along. They post with the seeming intent of stirring up a hornet's nest. Each forum usually has "troll" guidelines. Some trolls are outright banned by moderators. But some think that allowing trolls to post is good for a forum, and free speech in general.
If you find trolls bothersome and a general waste of your time, you can use this forum software to place this poster on your "ignore list" To do this just follow this simple procedure:
Find a post made by the troll. Click on his name at the top of his/her post. Let's see , it's easier to describe if I use a member's name for an example. For this example I will use Patrick H. Crowe. After you click on Pat's name it will take you to his profile. Just below his name in a blue bar there are two options. One is "add Patrick H Crowe" to your buddy list The other is "add Patrick H Crowe to your ignore list" If you click on the latter, it will ask you to save your changes to your ignore list.
And "poof" just like that, you can place any member who continually posts inflammatory messages into never land.
If you find your self esteem dropping and begin to have masochistic tendencies again, you may remove the troll from your ignore list at any time and once again dramatically raise the signal to noise ratio of your favorite forum.
I hope you find this helpful.
