Default Responding to trolls only encourages them

And it also brings the message to the top. Just notify the mods.

That's got to be a world record for posting. Last I counted it was 21. It took me two days to register on this forum. I suppose that was after close review of my profile. How can this kid get on with a user name like that?

Time to go fishing....

I'm good! It will be a few weeks before I can get out to go springer fishing, though.

Don't assume it was a kid. That tactic was strangely familiar....

So how about you Bait Bucket? Are you ready for springers?

Springers? I'm new to Oregon. I have never caught a salmon. But I'm about to dump a whole lot of money on Fisherman's for some new gear. Last time I visited them, they were sold out of G Loomis rods that I like.

Thanks Jen, I didn't even know about a Mod alert button til you mentioned it. I found it now and won't be afraid to use it.

Thanks.
As long as there is the internet, there will be trolls. It's part of the risk you take by being on this site. It's too bad, but there just isn't any real way to stop it for sure, without going to extreme measures.
We do prescreen users, but there is no way I'm going to call each one of you up and say, "Are you really you?" :smile:
Lessee.... next up, retinal scans for ifish? :smile:

Sheesh. That's what happens when I go to the store. :smile:
Anyhow... his user name was not bad. I don't understand your meaning, there, bait.
No big, though. He's gone for now. Can't promise he won't be back, though. Some people don't grow up, sad as it may seem.
We do our best, but there are times when people get through. It's very do-able to sneak on, if you have enough desire to make yourself look like a dope.

Just as I was leaving work there were a couple of boats running up towards Brinnon. I'll try Sunday if the weather holds. :grin:

Default Re: Responding to trolls only encourages them

We had a troll on ifish. He posted a bunch of childish language all over the boards.
When this happens, please do not respond to them. Simply hit the mod alert button to let us know, and let the thread go down off the top.
There are times when no one is watching the board, and it might take us a bit to get to it.
Thanks,
Jen
