Hmmmmm.... ;)
Zot doesn't seem too intimidating...I've seen people zotted 20 times in a row, and it doesn't seem to do anything.
Can you please define "overzealious".
I was reading and posting replies to articles for several months before I ever saw an article that hadn't been posted, and posted it. I've yet to post a Vanity thread. I have, however, made mistakes -- posted an article that had already been posted (some of you are vicious when that happens, by the way) -- and posted from a source that is forbidden (oops ... oh, well, I learned about the list that time).
At any rate ... even some of us who joined earlier this year are not trolls. Keep that in mind.
Aha! *TROLL*!

A vk-ping
Pinging my list also.FYI and for comments, folks.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . .don't be shy.
Dang.
Good advice!
I think now that the election has passed and the "real" trolls are all in Florida getting therapy, things will calm down.
We were awfully jumpy for awhile there.
Actually this past year quite a few embedden trolls were outed or they outed themselves in a heated exchange.
Many joined during the 2000 election and lay dorminant or posted anti GW bs for years. They were probably Moby embedded trolls.
Interesting that some survivors of this anti GW group has been very silent since the election is over.
Man, I miss the good old days when A+Bert and Ash were the main trolls around here. I loved the ASH ALERTs with the cute little song.
You can still zot me though, if you want....it doesn't hurt, and the attention more than makes up for the tingly sensation.
What you are saying is that it isn't prudent to call someone you disagree with a troll...I agree with that..
I do think newbies or oldies who come in with ridiculous vanities are fodder for ridicule....but not zotting.
Newbies who make posting errors should have the Mod thread with helpful guidelines posted to them..They need info ..not ridicule.

This is a good one.
Bump!
Thankfully, the thread has been locked, but a troll just got nuked at a troll magnet thread.
Thankfully, the thread is now locked.

We have had a few trolls who did sign up in 98 and 99, but they're getting increasingly rare.
So, correct, the main bulk of them are going to be of much newer vintage.
Thankfully, they're also kinda obvious lately.
