OT: We're Moderating New Members

[Ian]

As you can see we've been controlling the influx of trolls, etc. and I've been moderating new registrations, and you should see the people trying to get in here (around 30-50 registrations per hour). The e-mails when their accounts get rejected are great. Here's one of the latest:

"Membership requirements?! What -- am I too old? Didn't pass the entrance exam?

Losers.

Normally, I wouldn't do this, but your "membership requirements" idiocy begs for it:

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!

On the biggest choke in sports history."

Another great contributor that won't be joining us. There are many others, but that's the most recent.

Good work Ian. Havent even watched ESPN or any sports radio and certainly dont want to read that garbage from trolls.

 

[SmokeShowin]

Post their emails so we can spam the heck out of them.

Brilliant. Positively effing brilliant


Maybe there ought to be some sort of permanent "entrance exam" or "application"

 

[MRBLAZE]

Really is kind of sad. We'd be so happy if the defense could've just made one last stop, sighs. I've tried not to think about it and stayed busy most of the day, have not listened to or read anything sports related other than this forum, but man. One stop is all we needed.

I say let in a few here and there just so we can tear them apart. If they're Giants fans that's one thing but (as my thread indicated) I'm absolutely loving these fans of other terrible teams coming in here trying to talk sh!t to a fans of a team that embarrassed them this year and will embarrass them again next year. We lost in the Superbowl. Their teams didn't even make it there and it the case of the Jest fans, won't make it there probably ever. Totally hilarious.

How about a moratorium on new registrations until the faithful PatsFans message board contributors mourn their loss?

Not a problem. I'm just trying to let in new Pats fans while trying to keep the obvious idiots out of here. So far so good. - Ian

What a bunch of losers. It's been like stepping on ****roaches all day. But, thanks for the post. More good laughs are what we need now.

 

[Bella*chick]

Heads up. 5titles is a trollish loser.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

thanks Ian... couldn't deal with trashtalk trolls right now.

 

[marty]

Thanks Ian! Appreciate you all keeping the trash at bay today!

 

[Solaris]

Great job...I was wondering where the hell all the trolls were.

Being mostly a voyeur here, just wanted to thank everyone at patsfans for what must have been a crazy 24 hours trying to keep the forum active and useable. Limiting the trolling is also very much appreciated. I don't mind some gloating but reading the same stupid baiting post over and over again was driving me off the board.

Just as I was getting used to the ignore feature :rocker: Ive never had to use it before, but today its worked great.

 

[Patriot_in_NY]

Thanks guys, keep up the good work.

 

[Lansdowne]

Thanks Ian and your fellow mods, this is much appreciated. I hope all of us will chip in and report the trolls as they come through.
