It is really disappointing to see member specific threads littered with troll droppings! Many members here take pride in their work and effort in their threads. It would be nice to see dedicated threads restored after the trolls have there way. These ill folks are obessed with negativity and love to distract as a hobby.

They display a pretty obvious pattern and should be removed. Perhaps a temporary ban at first. I realize they will just get another name, but perhaps after awhile they will grow tired of setting up new accounts.

Lets not let these morons infect this community, Take out the trash!

Definitely! Nikonites staff doesn't want unnecessary drama either. For those of you that are unaware, there is a infraction system that we use to keep track of 'violations'. Also, when a post is reported, a thread is created in our staff forum and we talk about what action should be taken.

Remember to always use the report feature. We will not always catch bad behavior.

We try to stay on top of the trolls and spam as best we can. We don't always catch it, so reporting it to us is always appreciated. When I'm here (my wife says I'm here 24/7 :) ) I go through every single post, looking for spammers and trolls, and deal with it accordingly. All the mods work to keep the site friendly and functional for all our members, and we're well compensated for our efforts by warm hugs and smiles from jdeg. ;)

There are enough smart people around here to keep a handle on it all I think. No worries.

If I have a bad day please don't forsake me. :)

Like they say, it's the nature of the beast
This is like a community now with kind & warm people.. an automatic red carpet for trolls.

It took me a while to understand what you guys were referring to, but figured it out eventually.

More than infractions or user ban, IP bans, the members should take it upon themselves to check such trolls in public, in the threads they partying in.
Given, this may further disrupt the said thread, but it stops these trolls from invading other threads so frequently AND also gives other members a warning about these trolls.

Every forum has a culture.. all the members are responsible for it., good or bad

Is there a way we can report a post? I sometime find a lot of spam and no MODs on site. How can I report such an incident. Maybe I am missing the procedure.

There's an exclamation mark icon on the bottom left of every post.
(next to 'blog this post')
that's for reporting posts
