I was just responding to someone in the Pit, basically pointing out how they were obviously trolling.

I try to submit, and I’m told that the thread is gone. I probably left the tab open for a little while, but not that long)

Good job, guys!

(No mention of who the troll was or the topic for obvious reasons.)

Had a similar experience with a spammer. I reported them, and posted “reported”. A couple minutes later I tried to make a second post and it was gone.

So you’re saying [Michael](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077651/?ref_=nv_sr_2) is back and trolling the boards looking for victims?

Accusations of trolling are allowed in the Pit? I thought the was board-wide No-No.

Nope. It’s allowed in the Pit.
