Any Chance You Could Get Rid Of...

Poster "Crispin Foote" aka "Noseworthy Foote?"

All it does is bump old threads.

Thanks.

ITA and while you're at it. . .

Could you find a way to permanently ban posters instead of letting them repeatedly come back as other nics?

Could you find a way to ensure that each poster has one nic instead of several nics?

Have you reported this as ""inappropriate""?

And I totally agree that each poster should not be able to change names so easily.

Those are ALL things that the other 99.999% of boards in internetland would do. But they seem to have a problem with technology here and cannot seem to figure out how to do these things.

BTW, unfortunately, for a lot of us the 'report inappropriate' button doesn't work anymore.

This morning I started a thread in the Beauty section about this but it was poofed almost instantly.

I started the thread to let people know that they might want to check the dates on the last post before they respond to a thread because so many have recently been bumped up by that "foot" troll. Of course if they want to respond to a 3-month-old thread, that's totally fine, but I'm just seeing lots of people taking the time to write really thoughtful, helpful replies to questions that had been resolved months ago, and I feel badly that people are perhaps unknowingly wasting their time, especially when recent questions have gone without reply because they've gotten buried before people have had a chance to help out. So many posters here are really helpful and generous with their time and knowledge, and I thought it would be helpful of me to just point out the issue we've had with the troll bumping up old threads so that their generosity wouldn't be wasted.

Anyway, I can't see anything wrong with what I posted, but it was poofed immediately.

Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it? They poof your post, and leave the foot alone...

I just figured someone was really bored on Christmas. But this poofing of reportING threads instead of reportED threads is really annoying. Its like they are saying I'll teach you not to bother me.
