He also stalks by adding a laugh emoji to my posts. I have tried to ignore So anyone who puts an emoji against your posts is "stalking you"? Can anyone tell me what BOAY rules are being broken? BTW if I recall correctly it wasn't The Tank that ruined Racechat it was Wightman and Molloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON'T bite, don't bait whoever if you don't want a response. Disagree, we should not have to do that, he is a troll who purposely takes issue with many posters in an unsavory manner, for the sake of it, very rarely adding anything positive That is the definition of trolling and as such you have the right to remove him to protect the sites good reputation Nothing to do with free speech, all about common sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 FFS - if I ban one where do I stop? At last count there were at least 7 people who would meet the broad definition of a troll. Geez even dear old Brodie would be gone! The Dogs section would have been closed down ages ago. As I said show me where anyone has breached the BOAY rules and I will deal with it. I'm not getting into a situation where every second person is being moderated because they may say something that disagrees with someone or more importantly disagrees with me. I'll leave that to the other site which many of you have migrated from. Nor will I ban someone because someone who is a legend in their own lunch box (albeit a short one) wants me to aka the other site. To those of you who are so sensitive, even when it comes to emoji's, I suggest you consider ignoring those who offend you. Feel sorry for the troll because they are generally lonely socially inept individuals who are seeking attention. Pity them. Get real! The virtual world isn't real! Imagine what a real live troll stalking you at the pub is like! Here is some advice regarding trolls: Why Do People Troll on the Internet? Every internet troll has a different backstory and therefore different reasons for feeling the need to troll a community or an individual on the internet. They may feel depressed, attention-starved, angry, sad, jealous, narcissistic or some other emotion they may not be entirely conscious of that's influencing their online behavior. What makes trolling so easy is that anyone can do it, and it can be done from a safe, isolated place as opposed to interacting with others in person. Trolls can hide behind their shiny computers, screen names and avatars when the go out trolling for trouble, and after they’re all done, they can carry on with their real lives without facing any real consequences. Trolling makes a lot of cowardly people feel stronger. Dealing with Trolls If a troll tries to provoke you, just ignore them. They’re not worth your time or emotional distress. Try not to take anything personally and remind yourself that their bad behavior does not change who you are. Remember that a person who seems like a troll is actually the one suffering in some way and is trying to distract themselves and make themselves feel better by taking it out on you. If you can, try to have a good laugh and think about how sad it is that people actually feel the need to insult complete strangers on the internet. If you're feeling strong enough, you might even consider responding to them with kindness by complimenting something about them (such as their profile picture, their username, etc). This is the last thing they'll expect from you, and while you'll have to risk being trolled again, there's always a chance that your unexpected kindness could move them in a way that changes their behavior for the better. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freda Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Oh...bloody hell, harden up, you bunch of flowers. Life isn't always how you want it. I caught up with a young friend on the Coast, she's in her early thirties and was diagnosed six months ago with Motor Neurone disease. She's already walking with calipers and crutches and has to use a wheelchair to go any distance....she knows full well what lies ahead. But there she was, at the races, having a beer and enjoying the day......and some of you are worried about your bruised egos..?

That is putting things in perspective Freda, I'm sure many of us could relate stories like that, I certainly have a couple. But don't forget, a lot of work and mental stress has gone into getting BOAY to where it is, it has not been a walk in the park.
