More Trollish Behavior BEWARE!

[DisneyKevin]

wdwowner is now posting under the name Clique

If you see the name PodcastFactCheck....that's him too.

He has been reported.

DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS.

[DVCsince02]

Noted.

[*NikkiBell*]

I assumed he was somebody the other day. I meant to let you guys know. Ty for the tip. Can't you guys do a ISP ban??

I'm working on that.

[alebisi]

it's amazing what people sometimes do:sad2:
thanks Kevin

[katscradle]

Thanks Kevin I have seen the clique name.
Not the other. :thumbsup2:thumbsup2

[WaltD4Me]

So much wasted energy. I don't get it. :sad2:

[jen3003]

Thanks Kevin for letting us know!

[tlcoke]

Thanks for the heads up.

[TSWJan78]

Makes you wonder... was he not hugged enough as a child and are you really that bored and have that much free time on your hands

[airman]

Trolls need to stay under the bridge:disrocks:

[WDWtraveler27]

tisk tisk...what would cause someone to do things like this?

[BridetobeDisney]

Hate to say that I don't know but what are trolls? Is this guy posting bad things on the board? I'll be on the lookout for him.

[mainegal]

The odd and sad thing is, if we met him in person and had a face-to-face conversation with him, we might find that he could be an okay person.

I had an all-day workshop today on "community building". Learned that we need to talk to people who we disagree with, who with think are our enemies. People are like faceted jewels. There is a least one facet where we can match up and find common ground, even if we don't agree with other facets of the person.

Seems a shame that here in the DIS community we were not able to find that facet.

Let's continue to be the kind and sharing and friendly community we know we are. :flower3:

[robertgp124]

One of the hardest things in the world to do is not feed the trolls.

I have learned on my local newspaper and tv sites that when I come to the end of the story, STOP READING! There are people out there who, when given a computer screen to work from, turn into monsters. I was reading a perfectly lovely article in the NY Times the other day about the White House garden, and one of the comments at the end caught my eye. It was perfectly awful! I actually punched the off button on the computer to keep myself from turning the afterburners on and flaming away.

I don't know what the the moderators prefer for us to hit the report button when we see a troll coming out from under the bridge, or to just ignore the thread and let it die?

There have been so many times I've wanted to post, but I figure that keeping the thread alive is like feeding the troll and keeping it's behavior alive. I mostly lurk here, but I love reading the boards. It's a wonderful escape, and there's so much laughter. I love 'em!

Kevin - whatever your next restaurant review is, I hope you hit the jackpot. You deserve a lovely meal for all the crap you've dealt with!

[BeamsofLight]

I almost feel sorry for him at this point. Getting this worked up about any internet message board can't be healthy... :confused:

Good luck with the troll swatting, Kevin.

[DisneyKevin]

Let's continue to be the kind and sharing and friendly community we know we are. :flower3:

This is EXACTLY what I'm attempting to maintain

Everyone is offered the same chance to be part of this kind, friendly and sharing community.

With that chance comes the responsibility to also be kind, friendly and sharing.

Thanks for giving me a chance to say that.

Thanks Kevin, I love the community that these boards are and love being a part of it. I'll be sure to not respond to trolls, even though it's sometimes difficult not to try and reason with them.

Oh... Oooo... Oh... Pick me... Me... I know.. Me... Me... Meeeeee...

Oh wait that's Shrek not Disney.

I do agree though with mainegal, as I think people do some crazy things on the Internet they might not do in 'real life'. The consequences are just not the same. It's like any attention is good as long as it's attention.

Strange but different strokes for different folks

Sadly, I've found from experience that you can't reason with someone who resorts to using aliases for the sole purpose of causing trouble, Sharon. I've lost any shred of respect now that he's resorted to doing that.

We have tried to be friendly with him, but that is not what he wants. It is so sad that he is willing to make up a few new login names just so he can cause trouble. I just don't understand this. :sad2:

[ScotteHansen]

Kevin,
I have been a member for some time, but I am relatively new to posting on the boards.

What is a troll? I am guessing people posting bad things? Forgive the naive question.

Hi Scottie...

I'd like to take credit for coming up with this...but Justin Jett (Skip) posted this the other day and I cant come up with any better answer.

Troll (Internet)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
See "What is a troll?".
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion

Hope that helps.

It all comes from trolling in the fishing context more than the troll under the bridge. Troll's drag bait through a thread hoping for a someone to bite.

I wasnt aware of the origins....just the outcome.

It's time to make the Dis Unplugged Board a comfortable place to hang out again.

[*NikkiBell*]

I was going to say it, but knew I'd get spanked in chat for every typo I make from here out.

Spanx rules. I want to buy stock in them. Many of you know that I have lost a significant amount of weight (119 lbs.). Well, when you lose a lot of weight your skin does not always snap back like it should. Sometimes I look in the mirror and feel like a lemon meringue pie. This has been a life savior for certain outfits. Yes, TMI for some, but not for others. :)

I'm joking around on this thread but my goal is real.

Perhaps he's just bored out of his gourd. What a waste of time! Thanks, Kevin, for the head's up.

[froggy5657]

Yeah, I really don't know what is the dealio with the troll, but every time I hear the word troll I think of the "For Everyone From Boxxy" video on YouTube. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

[WebmasterKathy]

So Pete's got "Stay out of the damn lakes". Will "Do not feed the Trolls" become Kevin's podcast catchphrase?

[ADP]

It's Halloween....This thread should go "Cake" or should it go "Candy"! Hmmmm...... :rolleyes1

[tinkbutt]

Wow get wrapped up in school work and wedding planning and look at what I've missed!

[lttlmc3]

do not feed the trolls

You need to start saying this after every podcast.

[jharrowell]

How about "Trolls, stay out of the damn threads"?

Aww man, I was going to say that at the end of the thread! You stopped me in my tracks!! :lmao:

[Joshua_me]

I guess I just don't get it.

What would attract trolls to 'the Dis' ?

Goodness knows there are no shortage of controversial, opinionated, mean-spirited message boards out there, I'm sure they offer 'troll food' aplenty.

But, to my way of thinking there's so little to really disagree with or get upset over on these boards. I'm hard-pressed to think of a nicer group of people than the DIS 'regulars'. What would possess someone to get so PO'd on these boards ?

Ahh, well. Aninimity brings out the worst in some people, I suppose. :confused3

[howlongtillsummer?]

They know that.

That is why they want to spoil the magic.

You know, like the child at my daughter's school who keeps telling her Mickey isn't real. Why would anyone say such a thing??

[luke]

I've heard a rumour that 'Project X' has been delayed while Kevin tries to implement an anti-troll feature!!

The sad thing about wdwoner is that he wasn't a dumb guy by any means. I read most of his threads and sometimes he would actually make some decent points, it just seemed he got a little meaner/angrier over time.

I remember he posted in a thread not too long ago that his father had suffered a stroke and was in the hospital, so maybe he is going through a rough time.

[denise]

here's a pic for Kevin....

Gee don't you guys think that people would have more in their lives than to look for confrontation and stress? I think that we have all disagreed with the cast based on any combination of reasons.....as Kevin says "it is his opinion?

There are lots of organizations that need volunteers, me thinks these trolls should find something more productive to do with their time.

I have tried very hard to find some common ground.

It seems that's impossible.

When it was announced that his Dad was ill, people were supportive and caring. I personally sent him my prayers and wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

This was met with more vitriol and venom and the use of aliases.

I wish him the best.

[mainegal]

All the best with your mission, Kevin.
