BellaOnline Forums News and Politics Current Events What to do about this member?

Still don't get what you are talking about!! Is it a secret mater? Why so vague?

babak - texasDave (and any number after that name) JCfreak and lordsave me are all the same person.
he comes on here to cause a lot of trouble.
The Moderators of this forum are all actively working to ban him for good, and possibly even take legal action against him for harassment, and other legal violations he has done - or made.
in the meantime, in order to maintain some kind of harmony, ebveryone is being asked to completely ignore his posts and not respoind or even give into the temptation of mentioning him.

That's it, basically.
we'd be grateful if you'd join us.

Thanks.

thanks Alexandra to inform me
I respect to all of you, especialy you but I'm afraid can't do that.

Well babak, you'll be going against the advice and requests of Forum Moderators, not just us. and it's likely his posts will be deleted anyway, so you'll be talking to yourself.
Please just accept the recommendations of the forum.
Thank you.

This is a good thing. He or she should have been banned a long time ago. He is destroying the meaningful discussions that are taking place in this forum.

The managers here are doing what they can to get rid of him for good!
If you see a post by him - PM the moderator of that forum, or really any of us, and we will pass it on.

He is just as annoying to us! (Ok- Jase may get top billing here.)

Since we both share the same Christian faith, I tried for a long time to be fair, but he's used me up. I've made private please to him to back off or tone down - and he refuses, so I'm done.

I can't put him on ignore - because I need to be able to watch out for him, but I'll tell the rest of you that it is a very handy thing - and makes not responding much easier.

"in order to maintain some kind of harmony, ebveryone is being asked to completely ignore his posts and not respoind or even give into the temptation of mentioning him"

I'll be happy to cooperate.

Same here! I've finally realized it is pointless to try and have normal conversation with this individual. He does not see (or chooses to ignore) other points of view.

He's definitely on my Ignore Button!

das, i only just saw this thread. Members who have not seen this thread, may not know to ignore.

I agree with the strategy outlined. Correct me if i am mistaken, but this is what i've heard called on other boards as a Troll. Basically, you get rid of a troll by boring them to death. When they are bored, they move on.

Not all, certainly, but many trolls are adolescents.... that's right... kids. We know this because troll activity increases after school hours and during school vacation times. Hard to believe sometimes by what they type... but it's true. I think it important people realize this possibility. No response is best, but sometimes people have been tempted into responding in ways that are not appropriate responses to children.

In addition to ignoring, other boards i've been on have given moderators instruction on how to better identify trolls, and the power to remove posts written by abusive or racist individuals, and advertizers. Quick response in removing inappropriate posts soon after they appear prevents the good members of the board from accidentally responding, before they realize what they are dealing with.
