I moderate two poetry boards. At one, if we see a problem poster-i.e.
someone who comes in and causes havoc by insulting everyone and their work-
they get banned right away. At the other, 3 violations of the Terms of
Service or outright continuous borderline attacks/comments in order to cause
strife/arguments will get them banned.
All else fails-Delete, delete, delete.
Roadster content- Trying to figure out how I can get Chip Foose to do the
wicked paint design for my car.
Wonder how many batches of cookies it would take..........

Subject: Trolls and flame wars
I really don't understand why people get into arguments and flame wars on
the
list. I seriously doubt that there is much interest beyond the involved
parties.
People (a loosely applied term in this case) like prima donna are trolls.
They exist only to cause trouble and turmoil. Goading people to trade barbs
with them amounts to some kind of "accomplishment". The best suggestion for
trolls is to filter their posts and ignore them. It's no fun playing alone
and sooner or later they will go somewhere else.
Best regards,
