It’s not only this board. I find it’s best to just put his socks on ignore as the signature stench arises. Let other, more interested people drive to have it banned.
I always suspected Figgy was Carnal, but at least Figgy tried to change a few things about his posting style and show interest in some different topics. Chatterbox isn’t even trying now.
Yeah, Figgy lasted longer than his prior socks as he seemed to try and tone it down a bit. A lot of us knew it was him after a day or so due to having many conversations with him over time, but he stuck around quite a while.
I suspect this version won’t have the same lifespan.
“To Serve Trolls”
Yep. From the start for me.
The hyper-focus on Covid threads, and debating everything about the risk of Covid to kids in particular, is a huge tip off. Add in familiarity with the dope and particular posters, as well as making the same arguments in the same style…
He doesn’t seem to be trying to hide who he is.
How strange. I haven’t said anything about the risk of covid in children.
I’m “hyper” focused on covid because that’s something I can’t really speak my mind on day to day. I have to be hyper sensitive to my clients’ concerns.
Anyway, you guys have fun in the troll hunt. I’m no troll though.
Bye, sock.
Huh, no one @'d him or linked to one of his posts here. Yet somehow he still thought to peruse this particular thread. It’s almost like he has some familiarity with it from some past life.
Since you’re so new here, I’ll tell you a secret about the board: it has a search function.
His very first post was straight out of CarnalK’s greatest hits:
Defending Sweden’s obviously negligent Covid response ✓
Needlessly aggressive ✓
Completely wrong on the facts ✓
FTR, he was already being processed, but you guys did help speed it along.
Might not have been a troll, but was a sock.
I have a favor to ask. Could a non-Mod check his profile and please tell me if you see the reason suspended listed. Still trying to understand some of the functionality of Discourse.
Says:
“BANNED as a sock”.
“This user is suspended”
Thank you very much.
So long, Carnal!
We should start a thread game; Guess the next user name he’ll pick!
More like, “See you again soon.”
Surely he’ll run out of proxies and such, and then just be automatically detected.
“Tanquam ex ungue leonem”
That’s latin for, “We recognize the lyin’ by his maw,” or something.
I see this thread and its posters have driven yet another fine new poster from the boa… Chatterbox1 BANNED as a sock . . . like I was saying this thread and its posters do nothing but drive new posters from the board…
Called it two days after his join date. Do I get a prize or something?
