FYI: This thread will soon be deleted.

Dear members,

Those who were active on Feb 13th 2013 may have witnessed a sudden and unexpected troll attack. This attack lasted for one hour at most and ended with the troll getting banned.

If there's one thing the mod team will remember from this, it is how effective and wise you, our wonderful members, behaved during the short plague. Our strategy of 'IFM', which stands for:

1) Ignore
2) Flag
3) Move on

was closely followed by all, and for that we say Thank you!

Because no-one bothered to feed the trolls but everyone instead kept sending in those flags, we were able to quickly remove all of the troll's litter and no harm was done.

Ladies and gentlemen, this demonstrates the strength of our community. We do what we must and we prevail.

Once again, thank you very - very much!

The mod team.

    Thank you to the mod team for taking care of the issue so fast, and thank all of the members here who flagged. I'm glad I didn't see most of the dirt because it was being cleaned so effectively.

    Yes thank you very much. I witnessed it happening and am still quite confused to how this troll who used to make decent conversation, flew off his handle. So thank you to all the mods who handled it cleanly and swiftly

    Very well done, as always. I always thought something was off but that attack was very unexpected even then.

    jka went loony tunes & started posting porn pics & using foul language at members.
    Say no to drugs.

    Yeah he went completely berserk. :ar! He dropped about 3000 F-bombs in one post, posted homoerotic porn (and then Simpsons porn ^#(^ ) and randomly insulted members. Why? I haven't a clue to be honest. To my understanding nothing of notice was said to inflame him. Like @chrisisall, I think drugs might be involved ;-). Or his 9 year old kid brother accidentally hacked his user account. [-(

    Never mind, he's gone. I suggest we now start preparing ourselves for another one of sexpionage's incarnations. ;-)

    I want to congratulate for the defense action they took and for keeping the MI6 community safe, otherwise I'm thinking of going to new digs (just joking, but I did feel that like if Silva was attacking!)

    Wow... I clearly picked the right time to stay away while somebody went batsh*t.

    And right now we have some 'warnertt' going crazy with a 'retard' thread, which I'm refusing to comment in just to stop the encouragement... where are these crazy people coming from?

    Is Silva hacking us?

    Think on your posts!

    The trolls are coming out to play again. It's really getting tedious. Ok, I took the bait and responded in warnertt's thread, just couldn't resist (slaps wrist).

    Speak of the devil. Someone please ban this pathetic troll.
  • banning the guy who started the post very nice

    What bemuses me is the lack of wit. I know these people are, to coin a phrase, retards but is that really the best they can do?

    If you're going to make the effort at least come up with something better than a plain 'retards'.

    The guy yesterday even just wrote 'tits' at one point. It's all rather tragic.
  • you know i've been trying to get banned no one has the guts to ban me

    Ah well, it's all a matter of us being amused by your writings but don't worry: the snowball has been rolled and we're about to toss it into the fire.

    As for our true members, we all shift to 'IFM' in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1!

    This Ignore, Flag and Move On saying is great and all, but how about we let IFM stand for...

    The Ian Fleming Maneuver!

    I dunno, hell has a certain level of quality control; they are more likely 'spat up' free agents.

    Just troll infiltration, easily spotted & aired-out.
