Is there any way to report someone OTHER than clicking the little exclamation mark at the bottom of their post? Because if I sees one of these trolls that have been around recently, then I don't wanna have to go to the bottom of the post to report them.

Also, are you guys ISP-banning them? Because if you don't they could just keep making other accounts..

Are you sure you don't mean "IP" (Internet Protocol) and not "ISP" (Internet Service Provider)? Banning an entire Internet service seems a little over the top, don't you think?

for now, if you have firefox, get the imglikeopera add-on. and then there should be an option that says "don't load images."

If you can't get to the bottom of the post to report it (or in some cases can't even load the page) it's perfectly fine to report another post in the thread.

It just doesn't help much for people to PM me, because if I'm not on, none of the other mods can see it, and it's also harder for me to know if someone else has taken care of it by the time I read the PM.

And we do IP ban but that doesn't help much when everyone these days has IP masks or proxies or whatever you call them. We just have to keep our eyes peeled.

I think that's what I meant.

So, then what's stoping them from just keeping doing it? Unless some of them don't know about those or we just hope they get bored eventually.

You guys delete their posts when you ban them right?

Well, it says prolapse's account doesn't exist but the posts are still there, and there's a loud sound loop of "HEY EVERYONE I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO"

In the User Control Panel, under Board Preferences and Edit Display Options, there's an option you can choose to block out Flash animations from appearing. That's what I did ever since some people started posting annoying loops of Captain Falcon's theme in a BBC thread.

Can one of the mods post on this board when it's safe please? (assuming it's still going on)

~~Also wouldn't it be ironic if they did it to a thread about them finally being gone~~
