Odbo puts a lot of good information on here. He has a grating style at times but he's not a troll.

Dang, did you write that ph visitor? That's vicious.chileanueva wrote:I received this hostile PM from ph_visitor.

You don't know me at all. You better watch your back.
There is only one troll here, and he only misbehaves sometimes, not all the time.FreeYourMind wrote:I agree but unfortunately Winston is incapable of detecting blatantly obvious, over the top trolls, much less more subtle ones. Site traffic is growing because Winston was an early and courageous pioneer of an idea whose time has come, but since he is blind, deaf and dumb when it comes to discerning those with hostile intent, he needs to reinstate Repatriate or find another good mod or else other sites will come along to continue what he started.The_Hero_of_Men wrote:Winston, with all due respect (since I do see you as my hero), you really do need to do something about these turds that are stinking up the forum. It's just like a cancer: you can either excise and destroy the cancer at the first sign of trouble, or you can sit back and wait (because it's "small") while the cancer grows, until it's too entrenched to do anything about. And we all know what happens when cancer spreads too much or reaches vital body organs...
I will cease and desist all trolling activity. The insults will be gone. I can't say the others won't talk shit, but it's the roll of the dice.Winston wrote: Chile, please stop posting insults. That's enough. It is going nowhere and you have to learn to stop wasteful activity. Focus on something positive.
No, he just edited that in by hand.Winston wrote:chileanueva wrote:I received this hostile PM from ph_visitor.

Full of cancer? It's just ONE GUY who was the troll. One guy can't ruin a good forum. Who else do you consider a cancer to the forum?xiongmao wrote:This board is full of cancer now, it's one of the hazards of running a forum. I must say that I have the same problem with my own sites - the quality of comments doesn't say much for the intelligence levels of the average internet user.
More worryingly I have a page about studying for a science degree course and 90% of the commenters are illiterate.
Winston, all it takes is just one troll to severely degrade the quality of a forum.Winston wrote:Full of cancer? It's just ONE GUY who was the troll. One guy can't ruin a good forum.
