trolls use websites that give disposable email acounts

they dont want to go trhough the hassle of making new email acounts.

my suggestion: allow only gmail-hotmail-yahoo email addresses to be used when registering.

Not really a good solution. Because we have one troll. And tons of actual users who don't use main e-mail services. People need to stop trying to think of solutions and just ignore trolls.

Yes. No one else wants to disturb us.

There isn't much hassle in making ten e-mail accounts. A troll could make many fake e-mail accounts with relative ease.

my suggestion: allow only gmail-hotmail-yahoo email addresses to be used when registering.


If I were a troll, that would fail at stopping me.

I agree. If there's only one troll, there's no need for overkill! Just ignore him and let him be.

@ramzaman : Trolls, AKA bad people on websites

@Everyone : If you just ignore the troll and all of its pleas for attention, it will get bored and stop posting, or leave the site for good. That's what we want to have happen. Users that attack back or post a witty comment about the trolls' posts are hurting this process, because the troll feels acknowledged and will continue to troll in order to gain more attention.

FYI, revealing information to combat trolls on PUBLIC forums isn't such a good way of doing so. If there really was a way to combat them, you just privately contact a mod/admin, through E-MAIL, not through their comments.

There's so many legitimate email domains, that it would be impossible to strictly allow them all. Same with disposable.

This idea doesn't work so hot, because that would bar tons of users from registering, including me. -_-

Just introduce MAC address and IP address banning and we'll be fine. Also,m we have one troll, and hundreds of users who didn't register with gmail, hotmail, or yahoo mail.

There is no solution.

Love 'em or hate 'em, you gotta live with 'em.

If your talking about 420, he's cool. Just ignore him if you really have to hate him. He just has lots of accounts that get continuously banned. So what. The mods can be on their tip toes and deal with them one by one. It may make him annoying to some people but not a bad person. Its seems like someone has to be hated on this site. If this comment gets deleted by the mods, whatever.

anyways...Just shut up, you guys act like blindfolded morons trying to rearend a bat when it comes to solving problems.


Dude, don't take your problems out on us. What do you get by being an jerk? Nothing.

I agree to that. Just keep him on his good side and stop making god damn threads about it.

I suggest if you have a problem, shut the f**k up... I don't...So I won't. But you know... Ignoring him helps alot more then making another god f***ing **** thread.

no one ignores trolls

theres always someone who listens to em


Well, like I said, ignore trolls, and they get bored and leave. Simple as that. No need to turn troll on me, I just offered advice as to what to really do.

So, what if 420 doesn't use those e-mail providers? What then? Waste of time. I already know a faster solution against fighting him, but again, I'm just not going to say what it is here, because this is a public forum and everyone can see.
