I should use this thread to point out that we have a "New and Improved" system for removing or suspending accounts that are potentially trolling or simply abusing their terms of service here.

If Mr Burgess would like to try it out he is more than welcome. Basically it's a one button "suspend" where the user is removed from any valid groups and is moved to the banned user group (no further access to sites) and all the users created topics and posts will instantly disappear (with a few minor exceptions at present).

Several members will have access to this nuclear option if the situation arises. Hopefully this will help with the troll-fest lately.

Thanks,
Jim

Nice one Jim!

I assume this is given to Managing Editor and higher levels?
Any thoughts as to doing a blanket block-out of 10.0.0.* IP's? Might save a lot of stunning later, as most of the trolls seem to have been creeping out from under that bridge...

Rudi

Nice creation!!!

hopefully we doesnt have to witness the nuclear weapon in action. I may suggest we set a few level say defcon 1, 2 to this throll after a series of warning. so 1 means =blocking the ip as what rudi proposing, and 2 =the launch of nuclear weapon... hehe..

so who got access for the launch code??

Kinda like our very own "easy" Button, eh Jim?!?

Bravo, sir, and unfortunately, you have to take steps and measures such as this, but once again, Armorama prevails against the forces of evil! And Jim, if you need an additional "zapper" in the future, I'm signed in all day at the jobsite and would be more than willing to give you and the site a hand with this.
Sincerely,
Mark

That's no moon...

Very good....
Did I see it in action already......

Gunnie's already positioned on the grassy knoll.

Excellent quote & excellent news! Although, I don't like to think of you as Emperor Palpatine. :-)

Cool option.... if you can't talk to them...nuke them.... Good One Chief !



Did surgery do some strange things to our Chief ???? He still looks a bit....pale....

OK Jim....Hope you have a sense of humor.

Otherwise, I'll probably end up getting STUNNED!!!!





Cheers!

John

Heh heh - I don't know if Big Jim has given me the Blaster yet - this is the first I've heard of the addition...

Gunnie

Does it work in everyday life as well? If so where can I get hold of one?

Yes Martin, they do work in daily life. For price and availability, ask my ex-wife's lawyer...

Shaun

/Got "suspended" and "stunned" at the same time.

Nice one Jim. I still like the other option but it's still against the law Might just be worth the jail sentence if I ever come face to face with any Trolls :-)

Jim

I personally saw the beam of doom used on someone, not me though. I answered a topic, looked back, and his initial request was gone.

good news it is!!! Cheers Kevin

Excellent news Jim, that last run of muppet posts was just to much on this site.

John

Lets hope it works, and keeps the scum away.
Although in the end the only foolproof way of stopping them is by knocking on the door.... As in ' you are no longer a weak little [auto-censored] pissing about anonimously on daddies computer, real life has caught up with you'...

PS. disclaimer....for the legAL AND pc PEOPLE out there. the above is a dream, not a real invitation to give me his address. As that would be illegal..

Henk

If this version fails send them to the Phantom Zone :-) :-)

Cool. Let's nuke 'em.
