Trolls

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?

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.

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.

We are trying to be as open as possible, but babysitting children over the summer is not part of the job description.

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.

I see this message no matter where I click here:

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.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
