A lot is an understatement Brandon...they are overrun!  It's all out war over there and I felt I could not in good conscience abandon them so I've been in the trenches all blessed day.  Our posts vanish like smoke in the wind and the trolls go untouched in spite of repeated reports.  Once I again I have filled IMDB's help box with a dozen various messages on the subject.

I got a short e-mail from Alex today...about the Star Wars kids telling me he was investigating unofficially.  Hoorah not a canned message!....there is hope.

I think they've added a thing where you cannot report more than once without explaining why you are reporting..try it out and see, it happened to me.

There is definitely a Troll Blizzard goin' on... We knew that was gonna happen.

But it is nice to see the people that are being blown away, seeing it for the first time.

We're all vets.  Nice to hear from the virgins.   ;)

I guess quietly inviting the real people over there over here through quiet PM invites may be an option if handled correctly.

Yeah, it's a hell-hole over there.  Foxasshole has 70+ threads, some as old as 7 hours and they're still there.

I've reported more than once and didn't get the "ah-ah-ah" message.

Stupid board auto-moderating.  They're abusing and harrassing anyone who comes there, have overrun the board and we get limited on how many times we can report them.

I sure hope you're right vickie in that SOMEone is taking action.

while I was on the board earlier today, there were literally a dozen or more troll threads - I started reporting them over and over and finally the mods got the message - I guess Vik was there too doing the same thing - at any rate they began disappearing - which brings me to a question:  if every computer has a distinct ip addy, how can these kids change it and get back in regardless of what screen name they use?? maybe I need a lesson in internet protocol 101, but I don't get how they can be barred and then get back on and use the same ip addy - anyone care to clue me in?

thanks!
Judy

Judy,

It's my understanding that IMDB doesn't go by IP address but by email.

So you start up another new hotmail email account and you're back on...

Well after 12 hours of troll slaying and repeated abuse from the newbies on the board as well as obscene posts directed at me again by foxinator2 and a few less than pleasant PM's from some old board regulars telling me that I'm over reacting I have decided that I will not return to either the PT or BBM boards on IMDb again.  I just don't need the stress especially when the efforts are unappreciated.  A small handful of us can't do it alone.  The board  can be swept clean for all I care I give up.
