[Forum] Blocking Trolls

[FourTwenty]

After repeat troll attacks on our website, someone suggested this. Does anyone know how to achieve it?

Dunno how mischievous the mods are here but one forum I use can set a troll's account so that only they can see their posts rather than ban them. That way they might waste their time posting stuff and take a while to figure out why they don't get a reaction.

Thank you for your support, we are truly grateful.

Add the troll's user id in the Global Ignore list in ACP .

Thank you very much, McGyver.

Hmmm, I just got an email notification when you Liked my post, is that feature available for VB 4 I wonder?

The troll figured out the global ignore as soon as we activated it, then went on to register hundreds of accounts, posting thousands of images of dismembered bodies, death and gore pics to prove he had us under his control. This went on for a week before he gave up and destroyed the positive vibe in our entire community. Are there any other possible solutions for this? Thank you.

Ultimately, there are no magic solutions for this. You just have to keep vigilant and ban whatever you can.

If he has a static IP, ban it at the server so he can't even see your site.
