This has been asked before (by me for one)

[dotty.]

Only AB regulars and established AB users should be allowed to post in CB, it should have a by invitation only access password that only those the ed deems responsible and grown up enough to have can use.

If you carry on posting sodding Garth sodding Brooks vids I think that would be you meddling in the cold.

Well something needs doing- muppet boy or girl or whatever they are has been on all day. I poked my head in earlier and it had been going on hours, so had somthing to eat, did some work, went to the pub and came back and it's STILL here- does it have NO life at all?

[craft1948]

Don't think that matters dotty.....one was posting in B&S today.

[4getmenot]

they'll just post elsewhere

[chrissa1]

Saddos!!

[jno]

they'd only foul up some other section that didn't deserve it. But maybe you could get an extra chip in the AB elite platinum card that you would need to get into CB. At the moment all mine gives me is discounts in Aldi.

[dotty.]

count tell me who you have really really been a huge fan of for 15 years and i'll make rude comments about them too. It's easy to do.

Nox it can't be the same idiot surely, it's been completely ridiculous today, they pay to use the internet and waste their money like that.

[dotty.]

I don't think they would go elsewhere, it would drive them nuts knowing they couldn't create havoc in CB, any other topic just wouldn't work for them.

[NOX]

I assumed it was the same Muppet dotty, because of the same posting 'style'. I'm not a big fan of people who post on here being given zapping powers, but I think there is a small core of vey sensible non partisan people on here it'd be perfectly safe to give them to in emergencies- and really today was past a joke.

[jno]

I think the answer is that when they get suspended by mods (I assume that's what's been happening to them) their posts vanish too. The Ed can come along and restore the posts later if he really wants to. But I reckon they'd stop posting if the posts vanished a minute later before anyone had a chance to see them.

As far as I can see it's only been a couple of trolls - klown and gravy - and it's just been bad luck both have turned up at the same time. It's probably becasue they're snowed in in a hovel somewhere with nothing to do but play computer games.

[4getmenot]

some members avoid cb it wouldnt be fair on them

[dotty.]

every time i reported one of their posts they were instantly suspended, that's happened every time i've reported them, it's a shame it's not like it used to be, 10 reports and you vanish

[bednobs]

i bet their mums are really proud.

[Barmaid]

I'd bet that there were actually two of them.

One was pretty definitely gravy. I don't know who the other was, but he was pretty sophisticated in being able to submit a number of posts almost simulataneously (I suspect a number of browsers open and posts ready to hit "submit" knowing he would be suspended pdq). Gravy was never that bright.

Just my view though. Nothing to back it up.

[factor-fiction]

I don't know who GRAVY and KLOWN are as I've never really bothered much with CB so I can't comment. But didn't one of the posters today (the Jurinda-Patel one) give a clue (or deliberately try to misdirect us?) when he/she said " I'm KNEW (sic) here" and then explained they used to be known as KNEW (which I took to be a reference to SKnewsED)

[NazNomad]

One was a first-post from an account registered Feb '08

[dotty.]

gawd I don't pay that much attention, you're in danger of taking them seriously if you do

[dotty.]

yes naz i saw that, and reading their older threads, i remembered the death threat incidents and that poster banging on about it a couple of years back, but my mind went blank again straight after

[NazNomad]

Maybe your cat is too tight? ... errm, sorry ... hat.
