Trolling

Members have become increasingly annoyed by recent troll posts. Please visit HERE to view recent actions.

If you find a post offensive there are two icons in the top right area of the post that you can click to Add an Infraction for a certain member who has made an inappropriate post (though this option might be for moderators only), and Report Post. Click whichever icon appears and give the reason for the complaint.

Often times people from outside the conference post long lists of items for sale. This is SPAM. When you click Report Post and explain the nature of your complaint a message goes out to all moderators and frequently the post is deleted almost immediately.

I concur with Gary.
Aside from obvious SPAM, moderators are here to field any complaints regarding any offending posts. Rather than responding in kind to offending posts in an open thread (which often feeds the trolls) the best first course of action is to report the post..

..you can click to Add an Infraction for a certain member who has made an inappropriate post (though this option might be for moderators only)

Correct Gary - only moderators can see this infraction icon.

And thanks Egg for posting your well written notice.
