In the homepage when you mouseover 'Lounge', 'Subtle Bugs' section over the appropriate messages you get a brief message on who posted and at what time right?
But you do not get the tooltips for messages listing below 'Question Time'.

But CPHog is an Internet Explorer AddOn right? My Internet Explorer Administrative Settings does not allow that to be installed.

No, not at all. CPhog is a Greasemonkey script, which is itself a Fire Fox Addon.

This Little shite[^] should have his IP banned permanently. His posts have degenerated into nothing but personal attacks and the occasional troll. Time for him to go. (again?)

Banning his IP won't do anything at all if he has dynamic IP...

Try your best to just ignore him. I don't click on the links that he puts up, and usually don't comment anything he says.

Strange. When I clicked his user profile link that you have given, it loads without any 404 but it does not show any post information?
|
|
|
|

That's because the account doesn't exist anymore.

Yep. It went bye bye yesterday after he was really getting bad at ranking on people.

Also there is one more missing account these days. The very famous 'Satips' which created furious posts and took the messageboards like a Storm or Tornado. I don't find either Satips or Satips V2 as (Vri SSK ) nowadays.

Chris probably deleted or disabled his profile.

Hi Chris,
So there have been a lot of proposals here and in the Lounge lately to modify abuse/spam notifications, ranking calculations, ... even from you. It seems to have calm down by now. What have you eventually decided ? Are you indeed working on some modifications ?

The biggest problem is people replying to trolls. If people can just learn to think twice before hitting the reply button half the problem will be solved.

You are absolutely correct Paul. It is similar to the credit card marketing stuff. Even when we are stubborn in not accepting any new credit cards, the sweet and convincing voice on the other side 'derails' and makes us to accept one more credit card (and following menace).

No, it's easy. You just don't reply to them. It's not rocket science.

That should be the easy part, but for some reason people like to feed them.

Yes, that is the key. What bugs me though, is that we had so many problems lately. I mean, nothing really changed on CP itself ( I mean how it technically works) that would have lead to the troubles; and it has been working quite nicely for quite some years now. So I've always wondered: Why do problems show up now and never before ? If it worked before, it should still work now ...
