So, it appears the mods took out the fire hoses and washed the hell out of this forum last night. It’s so nice and clean in here this morning. ---

Ref your sig: I love the smell of burning trolls in the morning. 🆒 ---

There’s a retard at another board who has been caught trying to sneak back in here several times. He claims he has sleeper accounts at the dope for shits and giggles time. I’m betting it’s him, a close relative of the Cheshire Cat. ---

Rather than erase the threads started by banned trolls, I wish they’d put them in a new locked forum “Island of Misfit Trolls” so we can see what was said and the replies but not make any new replies. ---

That would incentivize trolls to start threads just to see how many they could get exiled. I can see where the mods would not want to do that, but it would be kinda fun to view. ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > Make access a perk of paid membership. Like getting a season pass to the zoo. > 😃 So, now we give the board and the trollers a perverse incentive. Board: to make more money, they’ll tolerate trolls. Trolling galore. Trolls: bulletproof trolling, with an entire board of captive audience. And also, the only thing that would make this work would be the already-overworked moderators. Like having an unpaid and understaffed animal-control department responsible for rounding up every rabid rabbit and ill-mannered grizzly bear that gets baited into town by FREE FOOD! and rousting them off to the zoo. Sounds like a lot of fun. Why do you hate the SDMB so much? :rolleyes: 😃 ---

[Poor semi-newbie](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=843434) is being so persecuted, when all he wants to do is debate assenting the US president. And he’s making a mess of ATMB in the process. ---

> [@snfaulkner](#): > > He doesn’t take moderation well. I almost responded to your post about it not ending well, but figured after all the moderator instructions, best to just stay away. We can mock it here, as needed. This is from one of his ATMB threads: “I’d appreciate any mods (or anybody else) who would like to offer further guidance.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omnibus-trolls-r-us-thread/755489.md?page=249) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omnibus-trolls-r-us-thread/755489.md?page=251)
