Trolls R Us redux [Now the argument clinic]

[Morgyn]

I wonder if there’s a way to auto-ban someone based on a text string used for their name? That would at least catch this guy, who is apparently so stupid he can’t figure out using different handles.

I’ve already reported the thread, but since you’re here, can you just cornfield the whole thread?

I was going to do it after I finished my coffee, but seems like engineer_comp_geek beat me to it.

@Colibri never sleeps; He waits.

e_c_g is the one who never sleeps. I think he’s pre-banned spammers who were just thinking about registering.

I think there was a way in vBulletin, but it’s not really worth the effort. It’s just playing whack-a-mole. Trolls are usually extremely stupid and easy to catch, but ones as brainless as this one are rare.

[RitterSport]

Well, thanks anyway!

Stuff him and mount him as an exhibit?

Mount the head butt as a trophy.

Traditionally, mods have our jackboots made out of trollskin. And our socks are made out of socks.

Gawd, I do so you mods! No kidding, you brighten this place up after I read all the Trump threads in the Pit.

I see Pictionary has a new title above his name.

[74westy]

Do you mean @Dictionary?

Thanks for handling that bird risen from the ashes, Colibri.

My pleasure. But if someone’s going to use a giveaway name, they should at least spell it right.

I suspect his next name will by Arglye2.

[DMC]

I’m only aware of three of his socks (as well as his main), but might have missed one. You’re getting awfully fast at this.

[Colibri]

I don’t want to give away too much, but there’s been more than that. I can’t take too much credit, since I’ve depended on people reporting them. Thanks for your help. (Everyone who has reported one has been correct.)

That would be Pheonix1, correct?

I was wondering why he was being so unecessarily pissy and unpleasant…

As we say, you can change your name, but you can’t change who you are.

This continues to be true.

So this is all that pathetic wanker kswiss?

No. Several different sets of footwear are under discussion.

Hmmm. What if we could just keep the troll-babies around, but put them in their very own forum. It would contain their spewage,
