How About Moderators on The Forums At Night?

Lately there have been "trolls" spending hours on the community forums digging up old threads and contributing nonsense (i.e. "testing", "Z" etc) FOR HOURS burying recent threads pages and pages down. No amount of reporting seems to make a difference. It might help if in the reporting we were asked to explain why we are reporting. AND it would help to actually SEE that something was done!

Report them and then put the poster on ignore.

Simply installing better software that spots patterns and puts pending posts into a bucket awaiting moderation would solve the problem.

Post a prayer for them it may put a stop to the insanity. It worked for me, made the whole thread disappear.

This sicko sounds like someone I know on the HSN boards that does the same thing. SICK, SICK, SICK.

Don't worry, be Happy!

What do you mean by nonsense, I'm on the boards at night and never see any thing that I think is report or ignore poster worthy.

Oh well, there you go. If you didn't see what was going on in the wee hours of the morning, then it never happened. Case closed. {#emotions_dlg.huh}

LOL, I think they posted almost 400 posts. I'm pretty sure they copy and paste one phrase for awhile then changed to another. Maybe 3-4.

They need to be ignored.

They want attention and that is what they get because posters start 5 and 6 threads bringing the nonsense to everyone's attention. They just feed off this.
