You need to sort out what a stalker is. Just because you block someone does not mean they automatically become a stalker........lol

Part time stalkers

Full time stalkers

 

I had 1 and 2.

 

If 33% of their posts are about you part time stalking. If its 66% or more full time stalking.

So for example, If I put you on ignore and you then replied to one of my posts, you then become my stalker, is that how it works..........lol

No I would have to do it 10+ times over several topics. My 2 stalkers did it hundreds of times over 3 months. 90%+ of their posts were about me.

 

I put you on ignore 2 months ago btw. I sometimes click to see if people improve. Some do,most don't.

- He's a stalker.

- And what does that mean?

- You see, being a stalker is some sort of calling.

   If you are accusing me of stalking you , I have posted ten times in this thread today and just one of those was a reply to you  , I posted nine times replying to other people . 

   You made four posts in this thread today and I replied to just one of those posts . 

I have just looked in your cryptocurrency thread and it had just four people posting in it and the last post was in July .

   That's hardly stalking , is it 

 

 

 

You know I ignore you yet continually reply to me.

You know my friend is a Rabbi, yet seem to find it funny saying he is a rabbit. PLease don't reply to me or follow me around the forum! It tiresome when posting seeing trolls replying with nonsense. 2 days ago you did this.

If someone did that in my local pub, I'd go to another pub. If they followed me to the next pub, I'd punch them on the nose.

This is why I want a block.

The red flag is a nice touch, although IMO it should be yellow.

May I suggest without naughty, threads might become incredibly dull.

They should give yellow and red cards and post on forum so people know.

All too typically this thread is demonstrating the general mentality of a group who routinely hijack the "mood " and if unable to dictate consensus impose themselves with sneers and accusations more often than not applicable to themselves !

The goal is less toxicity and negativity on these forums?  Fix Thai Immigration!

True. How should Mods handle these members? Be tough or lenient in moderating?

I have no problem with that, although I would say threats should result in an immediate ban. I have no doubt the mods have that contingency covered already.

Make it like demerit points on a license to post. A poster should pull his head in if he gets 5 or 10 red flags in a row. It's also more transparent.

Perhaps "muting" them if persistently so in a thread ?

sometimes, a topic will "press buttons" in some people and they can really get bent out of shape. In the past we have excluded them from that topic rather than exclude them from the forum. as a whole.

Topic exclusions is a good idea. Be even better if the OP could exclude people themselves.

That might be appropriate to those who get Toxic and abusive. What about cumulative and persistent derogatory sneers and snide accusations? I know of more than one member has opted to simply depart the forum altogether in the face of such tactics.

I can understand the task of moderating is probably thankless but some  moderators have had a history of favouring some of the most blatant "offenders" which  has not  enhanced the confidence of  many.

I will say "yourself"  an exception which is  most likely why  you are still onboard.

Dangerous ground  if the OP  can  eliminate  unwelcome  genuine  debate ?

People posting about Trump, Republicans or even Yinn is very tedious

Believe it or not the Mod team do try to be impartial and do not to my knowledge "favor" anyone, that said, we are human and I am not saying it cant happen. My comment on that would be is that if you feel there has been an instance of favoritism then make a report about it to Support, and they will look at it.

Huh? Is it a forum for discussion or just a news service? Argue I want not. Debate yes.

You should look at the accusation and deem if accuser is being totally honest George, there's no smoke without fire.
