I hear someone was loggin in with rude names the other night......

Yes they were Cherry, thought they were sooooooooooooo funny. Some of them were just offensive and directed at poor Barry, who dealt with it admirably and laughed it off.

Sadly this is likely to get a lot worse now that Rocks are on the telly and there's the opportunity for millions to find out about the chatroom (and "ooh I could get on the telly"). <a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZNxpt484YYGB%2526i%253D8%252F8%255F1%255F226%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/8/8_1_226.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D8%252F8_1_226%2526uiv%253D3.0/image.gif"></a>

troll is a word used on most forums to indicate a trouble maker, someone who likes to stir up bad feeling and general annoyance....as far as I know its a global phrase for such behaviour....personaly if I am on a forum and a troll appears...( I am member of a wide variety of forums from watercolour painting to crafts and even ghost hunting and there is always and I mean always someone who is a troll) I like to post the phrase....DO NOT FEED THE TROLL...

I hope the collection of numpties disapear, I hear someone was loggin in with rude names the other night......:mysmilie_498::mysmilie_498:

all we can do is keep on reporting the idiots...

ok, thanks. i've not heard the term before, thanks for explaining :mysmilie_687:

Idiot trolls is one thing Cherrypicker (hopefully they will soon all s*d off back to ebay's FHG & Q&A boards where they belong, happily gambolling round with their own kind! lol) but the other night was more auction wrecking, some items having 2 or 3 of the allotted quantity being nabbed by these moronic halfwits, which obviously stops genuine bidders buying & loses money for Rocks TV!

I know a lot of perfectly nice people use it but Hotmail has a lot to answer for, as the second an account is iced, they just create a new one with a new Hotmail addy!
I still think new people should have to register a valid credit or debit card (a traceable one, not one of these blasted pre-pay jobs that anyone can pick up!) before being allowed to bid, that should get rid of the unwanted element!

Stupid, mindless little scumbags, hope they all get swine flu! lol

In this instance, trolling means to bait or post a message in order to get a reaction.

I go on the sports forums and they are rife there.Yesterday was on a really good thread which was ruined as the main page gave a link to the particular thread I was on and in they came flying in.Mind you this forum is starting to give them a good run for their money.

:mysmilie_61: You have reminded me of myself, when I first joined here I had a good old rant and vent in the Gems section, and as a newbie kicking off I got called a troll, I was totally outraged as I didn't realise it was a legit term for a trouble maker, I visualised a little ugly green haired imp and was disgusted that anyone would talk to me that way...........long since learnt otherwise :mysmilie_697::mysmilie_697::mysmilie_697:

Nah, that's not right at all reddwarf - aside from forum trolls, eldest DD (a WoW fanatic!) roles several trolls (inc. her oldest & most favourite character!) & therefore I know that real trolls are about 8 foot tall, with a dirty laugh, a nasty temper & a tendency to rip you limb from limb if you look at them funny - rather like eldest DD herself on a bad day, 'cept at 5 foot nothing she's somewhat shorter.....! :mysmilie_697:

I remember that reddwarf! Haven't you been a good girl since! :mysmilie_61:

Not really, I just make sure I dilute my vitriolic posts with complementary ones so as to get away with it :mysmilie_61::mysmilie_61::mysmilie_61:

 

[tequila]

there was a TROLL on rocks yesterday kicked up a stink didnt like Jamie (this is live on chat)who was the bloke with the beard then when one off the regulars said not to come on to insult people she started on them as well got too fists at dawn SHAME

 

[Mirabelle]

The trolls were at it again last night with avengence... or should I say the same one was!

Registering and buying in the auction with discusting usernames! one directly aimed at Rod!.. "Rod loves the saus**e..spread my chee*s apart..mr tos*pot..other disgusting names too, they were deleted 4 or 5 times at least while I was there, I felt sorry for poor Zoe being given the extra work of getting rid of them..and all because of the moron/s..poor Steve and Sarah kept coming into chat to apologise to us..
These people need to get a life or at least grow up!!!

 

[jacqualina]

I've missed all the dodgy names on chat recently, but could it be a prank carried out by youngsters who think they are very clever and funny?
Maybe the time has come for the pre-registration of credit cards so that these people can be controlled and don't get through.

 

[Beady Belle]

I think Steve said they were going to instigate some kind of activiation procedure so that if a fake email address was used, the person wouldn't receive an email to then activate the account.

 

[tequila]

Mira you did your best to quieten things down when the person started her antics she was there to cause disruption that was obvious and succeded for a while to openly say you dont like someone when you have only just joined is bound to cause offence the only way to beat these people is to not acknowledge their post and ignore them

 

[mummy bear]

ah man i always miss it when it kicks off lol

 

[Lucky Duck]

do you remember a few months ago, there was someone registered as Mike Hunt? They bought something & it was either Barry or Jamie (I think it was Barry) who read the name out & was laughing so much. I think we were all pee'ing ourselves! Must admit, it was very funny.

Very good idea Jacqualina

 

[Ballerina]

They are probably a 14 year old. The best thing is as Tequila says to just ignore them.

Mira you are so sweet. You always try to restore calm but please don't put yourself in the firing line. I am sure Rocks will be able to put a stop to the Troll antics and I would hate to see you being attacked and upset.
