Default Troll Section

On other sites there are areas that people are placed when they are not sure if this person is a poser or a troll. I think it would be nice to have one here.

You get to talk to the person, or spammer and find out who they are.

One place calls it the Holding Cell.

Any ideas on this

I still want an area to place spammers and trolls in for people to see who they are. Remember that if we have told you they are spammers or trolls ,do not go to the site they are pushing. Often they have worms that will infect your hard drive.

Some spammers just have a product to sell. Many spell worse than I do and is a dead give away.

This is a very good point. I never click on these sites, for that very reason.

I am careful enough this time, since I am a victim of a malicious virus. I will not click any executable files as long as I can't ***ure for the security of that file.

I never click on an executable. I have been lucky.

I don't really see the need for such a place. I mean, if they are spamming the board then they should get the boot. Spamming is illegal.

If they are trolls then why keep them around? Trolls feed off of things like certain boards for them. If you just ignore them, they tend to go away. They like that extra attention that the holding cell type of environment gives them.

Just my 2 cents...

we do our best to keep the boards clean around here - some days it's quite an undertaking. but we've managed to stay on top of it without a troll section. so far so good right?

Thanks for that. I like this forum, and am glad you are keeping the spammers out.
