I caught my first troll tonight!
And it felt good. (Yes, admins have been alerted and emailed.)

See this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3677037

Then search the OP's prior ten posts. All consist of one or two words.

Nice to be able to contribute to the common good; the trolls are usually gone before I notice them, thanks to the vigilance of so many DUers.

1. The mods did a quick job in LBN a few minutes ago too with some
really fucked up person.

Mods-I salute you!

3. Cool
I don't troll-hunt much, because there are others who really enjoy it and are much more talented. Yay for helping out the common good!

8. I'll get back to you tomorrow...
when I'm in the office. The sticky keys on this Powerbook (until the new keyboard I ordered gets here) make typing anything longer than this sentence more trouble than it's worth.

23. Ok, cool
I was wondering if I scared you away :P But I think you'd be just a tad harder to weird out than that...

Always great fun!

9. Green? Christ, I've been here for six or seven months, and
that's the first time I've had an opportunity (and the alertness) to nail a troll. I don't feel like that makes me an expert or anything; in fact I feel like a laggard because it's taken me so long.

I'm sure that soon enough you'll be plucking them out like weeds.

Though thanks for the compliment.

7. Good catch, Redstone.
I am against gun control for revolution-oriented reasons, but I respect and understand most of the pro-gun control folks. These half-wit trolls have to be detected early and shown in a bright light. Good work!

11. I'm not going to bother reading through all the crap he posted
But was it simply a matter of him being pro-gun?

13. Nope.
He was spouting crap, pure and simple. It had nothing to do w/ him being progun. Some of the posters on the thread were progun and they knew exactly what he was up too.

14. It was locked while I typing this
In regards to the 'list'

There's a drinking game. Divvy up that list into strips of paper with one quote, then put them in a hat, whoever can't read the sentence from beginning to end without laughing drinks.
Laughing while someone else is reading = drink.
Laughing at someone else laughing = drink

I'll meet you on the floor in 5 minutes

22. Yeah, that's what made me notice the asshole.
Plus his nonsense "padding" posts.

I also notice that they finally stoned one of the most obvious trolls in the history of this board earlier today. Jesus, they could have saved some time with that one. :evilgrin:

17. I found one this morning, but I forgot to report him.
Maybe I should do that now. He bragged about being a card-carrying member of the VRWC.
