To the one who put several blank postings in the name of JTH yesterday

[whiskeryron]

Thanks you made my day.

W Ron.

Eh?

If you mean those posts where I put a full-stop '.' that was to get rid of an obscenely-named troll and his comments.
There is method in my madness, I assure you. :o)

Morning, by the way.

[Baldric]

Nice one JTH, you beat me to them, I do the same.

[whiskeryron]

jth. Explanation ! On several different topics yesterday in Latest Posts were contributions supposedly from yourself & when I opened each one it was your Avatar only & a blank page. Because of my message to you the day before, I assumed that it was someone playing silly watsits.

W Ron.

But they weren't blank, as Jack says up there ^ they had a full stop in 'em.

Doh !!!

How does it get rid of trolls and their comments jack-t-h? Just interested - I love to learn new things.

[jackthehat]

Starbuck - The troll had been banned and had his answers removed, but his name was still visible as 'last post by......'

I didn't have anything to contribute to the threads he'd infested so quickly typed '.' which meant that my name then featured as last poster.

Oh! Thanks jack. That is very clever - and easy. Just what I like.

Getting rid of the trolls is easy once they are spotted... just click the correct button...

"Because of my message to you the day before, I assumed that it was someone playing silly watsits" so why did that make your day? lol

I'm clicking away at the "ban this user" tab on Chuck's link, but Starbuckone is still here.

Although a troll gets deleted, his name - often obscene - still lingers on either in the Latest Posts panel or in the "Last answered by..." slot on index pages.
