How Does Ab Work?

[piggynose]

Is there a maximum amount of posts you can post in an hour or so? I ask cuz somebody who we think might be trolling posted 6 times??

[davebro3]

Don't think there is a number limit. AB is very tolerant of trolls.

[barry1010]

No limit to number of posts but Site Rules apply

'7. Avoid posting questions and answers more than once in the same or multiple categories. They take up room from other posts and will be deleted.'

 

[barry1010]

How do you define 'troll', Dave?

 

[naomi24]

Report your suspicions to the Editor via the 'report' button, piggy, so that it can be investigated.  As far as I'm aware there is no limit on the number of posts.  There used to be, but that's all changed now.

I'm uncertain that AB does work these days. Time was when sensible questions were most common and interesting topics debated/explained. Maybe it will do so again one day.

[davebro3]

here's one (not mine):

A troll is Internet slang for a person who intentionally tries to instigate conflict, hostility, or arguments in an online social community.

how does AB work? you write something and a mod comes along and deletes it!  haw  haw haw

I wondered if it were AI - but the grammar is wrong ( unlikely to be AI)

but you know it cd be true - there is a clutch of gormless posters who really DO wonder " why he do  dat?"

[Peter Pedant]

o god we arent back to "what troll  den ?"

I go with davebro - and I wish to state: TTT is NOT a troll: TTT is NOT a troll - - none of the T's stand for troll none of ....

[royfromaus]

Do you mean posted 6 threads?

We would all be in trouble if you could only post x amount of times in a hour.

[piggynose]

09.30 just I thought Naomi!  I only seemed like the other day that somebody was warned that if they'd continued with multi posts they'd be placed on the naughty step or something like that! 

[Old_Geezer]

I suspect they simply returned to the site in a bored with/of mood pn.

@09.35.Are you getting worse Peter?

[naomi24]

If they were warned there must have been something wrong with what they were posting, piggy.

If you disagree with an opinion, then that alone can instigate conflict, hostility, or arguments.

 A troll is more sinister than that imo.

@09.40.I take it you are referring to gulliver1,piggy?

[piggynose]

09.38 yes 6 diff threads. I'm sure you know why I am referring to.

[newmodarmy]

The one you mean just seems to be a bored poster who goes through these phases on AB, miffy. People respond though so the poster will feel encouraged to post again

[newmodarmy]
