Well, you know your site has arrived when you get trolls. :rolleyes:
We had one a while back, typical of the species he was an ignorant little bastard whose posts mainly consisted of "(Fill in the blank) SUCKS!!!! ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE STUPID!!!" and other such literary masterworks. Usually not enough for us to get our man-nips in a twist, but he was also purposely posting numerous articles that claimed various sequels were in the works which were pure fabrication. Now, we banned this poster and blocked his IP. Still, we left the topics open just to show what kind of bullshit was going on. But to be honest, if I were to continue to turn a blind eye to the people, who maybe didn't know what was going on, and saying "A sequel to that? Really?" I would be a pretty sorry moderator (Instead of a mildly pathetic one like I am). Hey, nothing against the people who were responding. You didn't know and all your feedback, any feedback is welcome. We hope you continue to enjoy Horror Express, because we're always trying to make the site better. But I figured if you were duped by the posts, then that is what the pathetic and eternally virginal troll would want.
So, I have deleted all the posts that freak started. I have also deleted most of the solo posts he made in the forums. We may be looking at future policies at how to deal with anything else. The battle's long over, but the field needed cleaning. Just wanted to let people in on what was going on, if you saw your post suddenly dissapear because the topic has been deleted.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to deal with future problems (nothing that gets us arrested, please), let us know. Thanks.
