I think the forum needs a banned words list

[Frances144]

I must admit that last one I only read the first paragraph and switched off thinking we have a nut job troll here. I couldnt be bothered to even read the rest of what was written but I did read the replies and didnt like the rubbish.
I do agree that if you see something like this dont even reply to it. By replying you just feed there ego just hit report and I'm sure it will be deleted as soon as possible.

I know, but sometimes, just sometimes it is nice to wind 'em up!

Initially I replied with a sensible answer because I gave them the benefit of the doubt in regards to religion.
They started being rude to others after that.
It gets to a stage where I actually cannot be bothered to engage with new/ returning members as they may have an underlying troll agenda.

Thanks

I do deal with the reports as soon as I see them but we used to have a few moderators who could nip these things quickly if they were online before I was. If anyone would like to volunteer as a moderator we can have a go at that again. Drop me a private message.

 

[Cortrasna]

Haha! would love to volunteer and would relish the duties that I would carry out to the very best of my abilities - but suspect you would struggle finding the polite words to turn me down flat Mike!

 

[newforest]

Maybe we should have a vote or something?

Ok, well, @Mike - I have "started a conversation" because I couldn't find the PM button (am I missing something here?). That was Tuesday.

The pm button is to the right of ignore. You might need to change your settings to receive messages to get a response/ button to show?

 

[Frances144]

@newforest thank you for your reply.

I think I must be missing something vital (like a brain).

This is my preference settings. I can’t see any sign of private messages.

 

[joosie]

Oh I see the same as you Frances. I assumed "start a conversation" was the new name for a PM.

 

[carthorse]

So did I!

 

[Frances144]

Well, that’s what I ended up doing because I have searched and searched for the PM button.

It's funny I dont have PM (I do have start a conversation) or an ignore button (only ignoring) on my tablet but I know I've seen the ignore button. Maybe it was on the computer. I do have slightly different looking menus at the top between my phone, tablet and computer for sure. Think it's the same reason I dont get ads on the computer.

 

[fourlegs]

Yes - you assumed right - conversation is the new PM

It says start a conversation its the same as pm, private message.
I suppose these days what's written on a computer isn't necessarily private anymore.

Indeed not - while other users may not be able to read "conversations / pms" anyone with access to the forum database can - so forum admins and anyone who manages to hack into the database will be able to see the content of anything you write.

Ohhh geesh glad i missed it.

I dont do Facebook Twitter or any of that either.

I can only get the ignore button if I bring up the poster's name. That's how I ignored rude Buddhist boy.

Thank you I've found the ignore button now. Mind you I probably wont use it. Haven't up to now.

I stick irritating trolls on it.

Oh what like the one on another thread currently.
