I doubt I'll explain this properly, but here goes:

An IP address is a numerical address assigned to your computer/internet connection. It usually looks something like 68.56.124.80 (essentially, four numbers separated by periods), and it's individual to your computer. An IP address is also specific to region, so anyone who has your IP knows your general location.

I can't remember though, if, when you reset your internet connection, you're assigned a new IP address. But if you aren't, theoretically, board administrators can log your IP and restrict your activity.

I wonder if chabib can limit registrations to individual IPs? (But seeing as I am a techie retard, I forget if most IPs are dynamic.)

Is this really necessary, khchris-clone? I've had disagreements with the guy more times than I can count, but I still respect him - he's intelligent, articulate, and he knows his shit.

Don't be the first shit-stain on our new forum chonies.

Yeah, the real problem is DHCP connections, because they keep changing. But I guess IP banning will filter out a few of the trolls. Kh-clone is just retarded for taking somebody's name, it proves how much of a life he has.

Then again, hold off on that IP restriction. I'm thinking of re-registering as Felicia Funbags.

I wouldn't say this thread blows, but the fact it needs to exist on this board sure does.

I must be an idiot, I still don't get it.

Oh, it's the thing from Labarith. I'm glad I figured that out.

I don't know which one to shoot!

Problem is, CHABIB has already said he doesn't want to moderate the board and, actually, finds the trolls "funny".

I wonder if he'd feel the same way if his name was being "trolled" and associated with "KKK" and "George Bush Lover".

I would guess he wouldn't like it very much.

People do the trolling because they're petty, immature, and unwilling to get over the past.

Regardless if I ignore it or not, they will continue to post under "khchris". That's something I can't stop and can only be stopped by the person themselves.

If they've kept it up for about 3-4 years, what makes you think they're just going to "let it go"? I didn't even respond to the troll, yet he's been posting anyways.

Sorry, no can do. If I suffer, everyone else is going to either have to:

a. ignore the troll and fight against it, do not condone troll behavior.

b. deal with the posts warning of the troll.


If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

What happens if the parasite troll ends up being more entertaining than his host? Should we let the saprophyte take over the body and insist that khchris(original) be removed? It's all a bit like the times of the Romans.

khchris, I think for the most part, people are generally more irritated with the troll than with your thread. At least I am. I don't see the problem with starting a thread to clarify identity.

I for one have not seen him posting anywhere else on the board under that name.

However, if you're going to set forth behavioral guidelines that you believe will help combat trolls, in my humble opinion, it would behoove you to refrain from carelessly tossing around troll accusations yourself.

It is not my intention to deviate from the focus of the thread, but to assert that I've created an account for the purpose of trolling is ludicrous, presumptuous, and just plain stupid. You are in a manner perpetuating the very offense you're condemning, and I'd ask you not to do it again.

[chabib]

one thread is more than enough. if things get out of control, i'll moderate a little, but for the most part, just keep a light attitude. it's the internet. people are only assholes because they know they can get under other people's skin.

everyone on this forum is essentially an anonymous user with an assumed name with few exceptions. what happens here only really matters here and really doesn't matter at all. someone has the user name, "habibtheantiamericanbitch." do i give a fuck? do i ban them? no. it's sort of funny and relatively true anyhow.

george bush and the KKK are both over. if someone associated you with walmart, you'd really have something to worry about.

It isn't even the troll issue that aggravates me -

to reiterate what chabib said, in a less eloquent way

who gives a flying fuck about the opinion someone on the internet holds of you? And anyone with an iota of intelligence realizes that responding to such bait only exacerbates the situation.

What bothers me is illogical thinking/behavior in the face of ample evidence.

i.e., stupidity pisses me off. There's no excuse for it.

It's an unfortunate situation of modern society that an individual must be accountable for the stupidity of his/her peers. It seems to be a common belief that lack of preventative behavior on your part constitutes a contribution to the other person's idiocy.

So with that in mind, chabib, if you read this, kindly delete my Felicia Funbags account, so that silly twats don't get further confused. Thanks.

Don't even get me started on that rant.

What is that?! Some jackass driving in front of you decides that he needed to make a right turn two blocks ago, slams on his brakes, and you rear-end him. YOU get a ticket for not being 'observant' and 'anticipatory.' Fuck that! He deserves to get rear-ended on the grounds of being a complete fucktard.

I have the WORST road rage.
