That is something quite different. There are clear forum guidelines and this fellow is in breach of them: "Trolls A troll is a contributor whose sole intent in posting is to be a disturbance to the community. Trolls may post excessively inflammatory or offensive messages with the intention of upsetting people, "flame" or insult, crash an appreciation thread to attack the subject being appreciated, or post the same message repeatedly on multiple boards to take up space and disrupt the forums. Posters engaging in this type of behaviour lose their rights of membership and will be removed." Sadly there is no moderator to enforce these forum rules. I've "ignored" all of those accounts now, which is a shame as occasionally they did post something worthy of discussion. Been on this forum since 2003 so you can probably imagine the list of posters I have blocked is quite extensive lol 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When being a fully grown adult, moderation shouldn't be necessary. Just take responsibility for your own actions. Those who respond & keep doing so are far greater of a problem than the initial poster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss out on so much funny stuff, especially the angry responses. It's funny seeing people have a breakdown over nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeandTV Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 15 hours ago, Daniel Smith said: Just scroll past, you don't have to read it. It's not difficult to ignore. Let's not forget that British Speedway is a joke & a laughing stock, so why think a forum would be any different?? If the custodians of our sport can't be serious, why should fans?? Just be excited that Sunderland, Newcastle & Middlesbrough could be all in footballs top flight in 2026/2027 See the problem with this philosophy is that he's got some many accounts. You see a post from him and ignore it and scroll past to the next post. You start to read it, and then realise it's also from him. You scroll past that one and on to the next post. Start reading it, and then realise it's also from him. Repeat the last sentence a few times. In other words, it's very hard to just scroll past his posts and ignore them when he's using so many accounts. And I'm sure there will probably be more to come. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hope no one quotes any of them!!! When he comes back with another name, within one post, it is always very obvious who it is... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish McRaker Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Maybe this is not being done by a human. How could one person be able to constantly make posts across so many theads, using so many identities. Just doesnt seem humanly possible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m laughing my socks off this end seeing all the impact it has. It would be so easy to scroll by but they can’t without a comment.😂 What a strange way to get your kicks. Let's try and guess what you did before you retired. I'll go first... Psychiatrist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheCazzo Posted May 24 Author Report Share Posted May 24 I think the best thing to do for now is just to ignore this sad act. It will take time but if we don't react and take the bait he will hopefully get bored and realise nobody is giving him any attention. In the event that there are no moderators to remove him I don't know what else we can do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
