Forum troll

Goatman has been causing lots of problems in the forum and posting blatantly false information in an attempt to disrupt those of us trying to help others. He is a troublemaker, a worthless troll, plain and simple.

He continues to make personal attacks and post false information.

Is nothing going to be done about this troll?

You do know that neither of these posts is by the member you're calling a troll, don't you?

I am not qualified to judge your complaint on the merits, but I suspect the rules of evidence make posts by harkgar and loneranger47 poor exhibits in a case against Goatman.

Thats because the forum software has screwed up. The posts I linked to are the correct post number for the thread, but it redirects to the post before the intended one.

harkgar is a good person, I have nothing against him.
loneranger47, well, he is "not smart" (to put it politely) but not quite a troll.

I edited my previous post to indirectly point to the posts in question.

This is getting pathetic. Instead of this ridiculous "probation"/"suspension" game, why don't they just BAN the troll? Its pretty obvious he has nothing good to offer the forum.

After the post (quoted in my signature), I would have banned him for several months, if not permanently based on his previous posts. I have already perma-banned him from SuperTurboDiesel and MercedesForum for doing the EXACT same trolling game!

Wow, for such a worthless troll he got a VERY short "suspension". Why is he allowed to continue screwing up the forum with his useless garbage? He should be banned permanently and all his posts deleted.

This is honestly a disappointing thing to see. Doesn't make the mods look very good at all.

Its a directed personal insult/attack.

He needs to be banned, he is only harming the forum.

Yup, your too sensitive. See a psychiatrist and refrain from using the forums in the mean time.

I think you need to do the same, though it appears you're far more in need of it than I.
