Well, here's an interesting thing: I've just looked at Joe's other forum, glospolitics, for the first time, and I see that he doesn't allow trolling there. Why not? Is politics such an important subject that trolls can't be allowed to ruin the forums there? maybe he's just learnt his lesson from this place. |

How can he possibly have learned a lesson that is applied one board only?

How can he possibly have learned a lesson that is applied one board only? I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. What's really funny is that his last thread on the politics board is complaining about the moderation on the citizen website. Then he proceeds to copy and paste a long endless list of rubbish posts by some other troll. Does he not see the irony? |

Explain the 'irony' of displaying the posts the Citizen has failed to moderate for days, in case they eventually do and the evidence is no longer evident? After all, there's no longer evidence of the porn and drug link/pics that were left on the Gloucestershire Boards for months...

Ah so you actually don't see the irony.

Ah so you actually don't see the irony. Neither do I. In fact, for the first time, last night I made hard copies of some of the latest rants by the rugby troll. I did this as evidence, because I'm going to complain to Northcliffe Media about their utter uselessness when it comes to moderating the site. If you want to know something ironic, the troll had many comments by other people deleted, including a number by Sandra Pember. How is it that they find her comments unacceptable, and still allow the troll free rein? |

Well for one thing he's complaining about the moderation of a website when his lack of moderation on his own website caused so much trouble he decided to abandon it to work on another one.

and you know that rugby commentator is just a bot right? It's been spewing out the same automated rubbish for years - There's no human behind it. It just creates a new id and makes a comment, which is why it takes them so long to sort out - the moderation is probably automated too which is why inoffensive comments get deleted.

There must be a human behind the bot. The comments do actually change to reflect the different Rupert Harden circumstances, so someone updates it now and then. It follows that there must be someone out there who is obsessed enough with Rupert Harden to make the necessary changes.

No they don't change - there's about 20 different forms that have been cycled endlessly with different ids inserted. Rupert Harden left Gloucester last year and the bot is still going on about him.

No, you are mistaken. When Rupert left Gloucester, the troll changed the wording of the comments from the likes of "#Harden owns the no.3 shirt. He has no real competition for it" to references to what Gloucester Rugby should have done last season, i.e. let Rupert Harden play in every game. When the website barred the name Rupert Harden, the troll changed to using unusual letters instead of the "e" in each word. Now the block seems to have been removed.
Of course, the whole thing could be controlled by some very clever computer programme that is almost indistinguishable from a human, but why would anyone with access to that kind of artificial intelligence bother to use it for something so ridiculous?

Ah so you actually don't see the irony. So you can't actually explain the 'irony'. The real Eddie Eldridge knows as well as I do what a shambles that paper has become, in both print and online. Ian Mean was bad, but even he wouldn't splash non Gloucestershire-related stories about the likes of Zayn Malik and Dermot O'Leary over the pages, and worse. If their moderation company can't handle a bot because most readers are too jaded to report it, or the 'I made £££!!' merchants, or the transparent manipulation of the comment ratings, while the ''discussion' page fills with fitted kitchen ads, that's all down to the Citizen and what it has become. People should care that this is what we're supposed to rely on for information during the election campaign. They clearly don't but no-one can say it wasn't laid out in plain view for anyone with the least bit of interest. And don't forget 'BoreSpotter', for whom Kay is clearly a primary target. If the process is automated, it should be that much easier to neutralise. |

Oh dear...
Gary is now a 'god' apparently... that's just asking for trouble...
Maybe he can use is 'god' powers (in his head) to carry out that 'execution' he 'ordered' against me? lightening bolts, maybe a freak tornado, that kinda thing...

Not anymore. He doesn't seem to have made quite enough posts to qualify (despite posting the same sentence to a score or more threads five hours ago)...

Oh phew I was slightly concerned about that, it's safe outside from wayward lightning bolts for a few more hours at least then?  |
