Title: Trolls
Post by: rich_t on June 12, 2011, 05:47:31 PM
We've been getting more than usual lately.  And not very good ones at that.

Who in the hell forgot to lock up the troll bait?

School's out for the summer, sir.

Trolls are more common in the summer since school is out. They are also more common around Christmas time.

Yeah, and they've been keeping chris_ and TVDOC superbusy.

chris_ and TVDOC are supposed to enjoy hanging around conservativecave, not policing it.

Anyway, there's been changes in the registration requirements, and I think they're damned good changes.

Just for your info:

Due to the influx described above, we've turned off new registrations.  See the notice at the top of the page......for the moment, we'll only accept new registrations from potential members that are recommended by an existing member.......

Please carry on......

It's unfortunate that it has come to that.  But I do understand the need.

The deal is, sir, conservativecave has attracted a great deal of attention, and just grown and grown and grown and grown and grown.....

conservativecave two years ago isn't but a speck when compared with conservativecave today.

With traffic, comes trolls.

All five administrators here have the ban hammer, but because of commitments in real life of three of them keeping them away much of the time, the burden for watching newcomers has fallen mostly upon chris_ and TVDOC.

chris_ and TVDOC are supposed to be enjoying conservativecave, too, kicking off their shoes, putting up their feet, relaxing, and getting mellow.  But they can't, what with all these trolls running amok.

This "tightening up" is one of the prices we pay for being such an awesome place.  Everybody wants to be here.

Same here. I have been to forums where trolling was a serious problem. I remember back at CU, trolling was a huge problem. Some would come back over and over to be banned as many as 200 times!  :mental:  :loser:

As for trolls coming to the summer, it is true with any forum, political or not. I wonder who has been banned the most here at CC? I remember one troll being banned 200 times and another posting Mike Malloy stuff 75 times at CU.

Registration is turned off for the time being. If you REALLY feel that you need to join the Conservative Cave, please feel free to email the Administrator. References will be required

Probably the best thing you can do during this. I see  few of them are already banned, but they're not kids out for school this summer. They're straight from discordian troll factories (erisbarandgrill, principiadiscordia) and they're all retards.

I went to both and yeash...its like a marxist, anarchist, pagan cult. I found Dr Howl. This may be a coordinated attack, but I couldn't find a thread out in the open. They may have hidden forums.

Those people are demented to say the least. Criminally insane is not a far out assessment.

Look, mods. lets not give these guys any slack. Please. I've seen outright evil at DU, but this is a different animal altogether.

If you look through Doktor Howl's posts (on principiadiscordia) far enough, you'll see that he also goes by the name "The Good Reverend Roger" (or, TGRR, as he refers to himself).

You are of course banning the IP's? Theres no way this same person would be getting away with this 200X.

I have a pantload of IP's on a text doc if you need more (mostly from China and Russia and Indonesia and such though) before my site went down.

Proxy servers. They can bypass IP banning. Blocking e-mail address they use works.

Sounds like an organized troll attack happened here at CC. Never saw it coming. I am afraid more could happen later this summer.

Eris Bar and Grill and Principia Discordia are connected. The Principia describes the Discordian Society and its Goddess Eris. Sounds like Discordianists are behind it.

Most of the spammers on CU have been from Russia lately. That's why we had the problem when you tried to join. Controls had been set up, but they proved to be a bit too strict and was sending anyone who registered a message that they had been banned. SR fixed it.

Good luck with the attack by the kids or worse.

Wonder if he's the same "Rev" that was banned years ago. SR said he was a real piece of work.

Right, I forgot. IP's and emails were really the only thing I could block. And IP 'ranges'. Well, the names too but thats not usually the answer. In fact it oftentimes is a clue though.

Bastards sure do muck things up.

Yes.

When I squashed Jeff , Stelz and Madeline - Their IP addresses (several in some instances) were also blocked.
