Dear Ed

[choux]

Are you aware that a recent poster (currently on 3rd username) has evoked strong feelings of annoyance from many ABers has now elicited responses from (at least) 2 of your stalwarts to leave the site?

I understand that it may be a headache to block IP addresses, but this situation could lead to the demise of AB if it is not addressed, imo.

[brainiac]

Totally agree, never used to be this bad

[choux]

Quite so, brainiac.

[lankeela]

One down, just four more trolls to go.

My IP address is not static so blocking it would not work. Most people have both landlines and mobiles which have different IP addresses so the solution is not as easy as you think.
I have no idea who you are referring to, by the way

[choux]

Trouble is, Lank, that user is the eternal rubber ball...

[choux]

I know about IP addresses, barry which is why I mentioned them. This thread is to bring the matter to the Ed's attention - it is the weekend.

Well, I didn't want to advertise the user to whom I refer, that could be counter-intuitive.

[lankeela]

I rest my case!

[naomi24]

choux, the Eds can't address the problem if they don't know who you're talking about - and like barry, I don't know either. If you don't want to name the person here, perhaps a private email with a link to this thread is in order.

Why the secrecy? If you haven't got the courage to name Him' Her.
Then why the post .There is not a section on AB called mystery and imagination.

[barry1010]

Better to email the ABEd with all the details rather than make vague references here, choux

[Arksided]

Believe me choux the site were riddled with trolls that's why I changed my guise to 'D'arkside in the first place in 2010 to challange them but ended up being zapped for five days.

I liked the guise and ended up chatting under that guise, I'll challange anyone but realized they simply can't grasp simple things.

I will will further add that i'm amazed with some of the cheekiness I've presented and got away with but never trolling. I have a life alledgedly.

[choux]

I have credited the Ed with the nous to know of whom I refer merely by looking at the deleted posts and suspensions.

[barry1010]

I dread to think how many users have been banned in a week, choux.

[gulliver1]

12.19 Hang around... I will just check to see if I am suspended.

[gulliver1]

12.19..12.28. So far so good but the day is early... Hope to talk to you later.

[choux]

gulliver, I have courage aplenty and subtlety :)

[Gromit]

There is one regular poster who has had at least 15 user names. They were easily able to return. So it is more difficult to stop than you might think.

If you do not like a poster, you should ignore their threads and ignore their posts. It is not the job of the ABed to babysit you.

[choux]

Gromit, in this one instance try thinking of an ABer babysitting the AB.
