I actually reported it _for_ the avatar some months back after I got tired of looking at it (even ignore doesn’t always obscure the avatar, especially if they are quoted). Alas, it didn’t take.

Been thinking of making a Pit thread for annoying avatars for a long time now, but meh.

If you need to, you can block individual avatars and quote avatars with most ad-blockers.

I have done just that on my PC, but alas, have no such app for my iPad. Anyway, you know who has the _worst_ avatar? **Jim\_B**.

A white D on a light blue background is worse, at least when it comes to the “X is composing a post” message. Is that **dalej42** , **Danger Man** , **dougrb** , or **D’Asshole**?

In the [Inflation is not currently a menace](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/inflation-is-not-currently-a-menace/955738) **Magiver** successfully trolls **Martin\_Hyde** into calling him a liar. One should remember that guys like Magiver are just Trump minions. It is Trump the one who lies, and while one can make an argument that Magiver is lying too, that is not kind towards deluded little yellow guys like Magiver.

Magiver is one of the very few people on my ignore list. He’s a hideous little troll, equal parts stupid and malicious. He can be infuriating if you don’t see through his act.

In this case, it’s troll-ception, as M\_H got called out for some major inconsistencies in his historical accounts of his own experiences in life in his own Pit thread. Ones that he has not addressed to date.

Granted, Magiver is an evil little shit as well. So to find them attacking each other gives me a little shiver of schadenfreude.

New poster with a provocative thread topic looks like a troll. Without making direct links, check IMHO thread about a sober person taking a field sobriety test by musical-themed poster.

They came to my notice with the “Possession of Stolen Property” thread rather. And you’re right, they’re posting on provocative topics, with a pattern of ‘create thread and practically never return’. They don’t seem to have much other activity for a short term poster, and a lot of comfort with the board for a new join (7/8/22) without the comments I would have expected if they’d been a lurker in the past.

So, yeah, I’d watch closely.

Now that I responded to **Pleonast** , I remember why I came to the thread. As many probably already know Martin\_Hyde just pulled a ban for violations of the registration, with much rejoicing in his personal thread. Considering his repeated statements of how much he hates us all (going at least 15 years back) but keeps needling our groupthink, any bets that he’ll return as one of our serial socks?

@Mikkel and @Cervaise seem to share my suspicions, but since the personal thread is going to be closed sometime in the future, figured it would be better here, the home of the sock-hunters.

This won’t be in the announcement but I think it is worth noting.

While this did not lead to his banning, there have been multiple posts like this over the years besides this one yesterday:

> [@Pit thread for Martin\_Hyde {He has been BANNED}](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pit-thread-for-martin-hyde/965045/1108):

So he shouldn’t miss hanging out with “a bunch of mentally ill socialists and degenerates”.

And for the earliest case I could find, February 2006.

It’s like saying one has a “cause” when one recognizes that the United States is never going to change its flag to an orange and black triangle.

This was my favorite. Bookmarked it right after it was posted. Quoted it too many times. Now I can finally delete it!

Not a lot more unless another Moderator wants to add more later:

> [@Martin\_Hyde has been banned for violation of the Registration Agreement](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/martin-hyde-has-been-banned-for-violation-of-the-registration-agreement/968203/3):

> Martin\_Hyde has been banned for violation of the Registration Agreement. Specifically for grossly misrepresenting themselves on the SDMB. We’re dealing with a long term poster that has claimed experience to speak from authority. We’re dealing with some level of Stolen Valor as the poster has spoken of both enlisting and going to West Point. He has stated he retired as both a Captain and Colonel. He has also obliquely threatened to dox other posters:

It appears he has popped up on the 'raffe, trolling posters there about his SDMB career and banning.

Not sure what the rules are about linking to the 'raffe, so I’ll hold off on that one.
