Well, maybe we're all having our legs pulled and it's part of the Boardlympics?

It's been deleted, the posts still appear as if it were a guest. The user was British by the way, well they were in England anyway.

P.S. any of the mods can just delete any of the more offensive stuff, I hadn't followed where the posts are, or move stuff to the DD like Electric_Man said.

i'd just locked one thread to preserve the text, wasn't sure if that'd have worked anyway. will move anything that needs it later on when i'm more awake. thanks mal.

any chance you feel up to asking the mod over at the Harper Collins site if that IP number checks out against anyone there? might be nice to see if they'll crack down on their members harassing us

replying to hsing's wondering if we were having our legs pulled, i had considered it might have been an april fools day gag. i'd also sort of invoked the ironygods the other day...

i was thinking to myself "you know, it's great... we haven't had any flame wars, we haven't had any infighting, no sedition, no hatred... and it's all thanks to having moderators and a few people leaving to join a community more suited to their tastes"

the irony gods smiled and said 'lets give that boy a troll'

I suppose if we were continually harrassed by someone like that we could mention it if they kept going on and on about the other place.

Ah, how nice, we had an sad pathetic little excuse of a life and I missed him. How very sad.

As for asking the HC mod if they could take a look at the IP, I don't see why not. Effective or not, the act of asking costs us nothing. If he, or someone else of his ilk comes back, we ask again. I think that there won't be a reply the first time, but I'm certain that number three, if it arrives, will have a response.

On the other hand, it might best be avoided because it might cause the mod there to have a 'nice little talk' with the posters there, asking them not to pester us please. And we all know where [i:de25d97509]that[/i:de25d97509] will get us.

No, the mod over there won't provide us with any information regarding IP addresses of people.

I know that for a fact, cause I asked her myself ages ago. It's harper collins policy to protect the personal information of their posters, so they wouldn't be prepared to give out IP addresses

*does happy dance*

Wanders off to find some breakfast...

Taking this as the most obvious post to reply to - but bearing in mind later posts - is there any point in asking the HC board moderator to take any disciplinary action when she allows the posters who troll-bombed the HC site to drive us off to remain as members? "Nobody" (well that is what it says its name is!) is an obvious troll who can't even keep his/her/its story straight - Mal - give it the chop, please.

Edited for spelling and pnctuation

Oh - and grammar as well - since Grace seems to be back on the board - I think it should be "the most obvious post to which to reply"!

... pixel, are you competing for the Roman K Award For Not Reading Before Talking?

we already chopped him. harper collins site don't care about trolls, they just want to promote book sales.

story's over and done.

Yes, I did eventually realise that I had posted "after the event" - my excuse is that I have been working a few tricky shows recently - difficult (or impossible) directors, seriously complex soundtracks, assorted other tasks which get dropped on me as a general-purpose techie on any show I do - sometimes I don't have the time to give this board the attention it deserves and absorb all the current situation, but still want to express my feelings - so this time - mea culpa, mea culpa.
