    I see lots of frustration from members dealing with some specific Trolls , this is so easy lets just banish them ! Trolls are like stray cats or a bad girlfriend. Stop feeding them or buying into there drama and they go away. if you want the idiot troll to stop just ignore no mater what. This works 100% of the time ! They get frustrated and move on . Remember trolls are idiots looking for attention and your giving it to them.
    Be smarter , don't drop to that level . I won't even mention the dicks name. We all know.
    They start a post don't respond ! , just do not acknowledge or give them any fuel and they die and move on. If we all stick together the trolls die a painful death of silence which drives them crazy ! , you cannot reason or win with a troll , only ignore and silence beats the troll every time.

    So, don't give trolls attention by making a thread about not giving trolls attention. :thumbsup:

    One can always ignore a thread. Just don't click on it....

    BETTER WAY to handle the smart asses....Just click on their name and click "Ignore". Easy to do since the same thread crappers are in every thread. Take their voice away.....They hate that because they cannot respond and be heard. They can "like" each others jokes or insults in their own little sandbox

    Then we don't have to read their sophomoric crap at all. I proudly have over 50 "banned." They don't like that because they effectively go "unheard" and I cannot be baited into a tit for tat....

    You would be surprised how much it clears and cleans up the threads from wannabe comedians who have nothing to offer the 3rd Gen Forum , Can't crap on threads if you cannot read their droppings.....

    Bob is actually working on an "ignore entire forums" option. Like 3rd gen. So we don't have to see yet another thread on generic topics already covered elsewhere for years.

    Like every other post on this forum. Badly researched and incomplete information.

    Left click, and left again.

    Actually there are only 50 or so assholes.....Once they are swept away the whole forum is raised a few notches in maturity

    Absolutely...They have nothing to offer of substance so yeah Ignore the problem children. They don't want me to ignore the problem. They want to get a rise and responses so they can diss a mom here and there. What I cannot see I don't have to respond to. And what I cannot see leaves threads with useful opinion and thought.

    Why You have another idea? you think you can "fix" it? The mods won't. So I did.

    This thread will make it easy for the ignore button.......watch them come running in..they cannot help themselves.

    The ignore feature is for the mentally weak anyway. Those with any real maturity just scroll past the "OMG I'm OFFENDED" posts.

    Wrong.

    Just because the third gen is a 2nd gen with new sheetmetal, doesn't mean the mystery of what tire size without lift, or are drop brackets good, or how bro can i be with X mod applies to them. They all must be asked.
