All times are AEST. 12:04pm; 12:26pm; and 12:48pm.

Question to the admins:
Why is the troll's account not excised utterly from the boards?

He's banned now, but it's fun to keep their posts :p

Here I thought the PM notification e-mails I got meant something exciting was happening. ):

In the future, please don't reply to any PMs like this, and please don't post about them either. Any attention is fuel for the flames. Just drop us a PM and we'll ban the account, nice and quiet :)

Hey no need to censor yourself over this one, the damage is more or less done already :P

Just consider it for the future - ignoring these delinquents is the most effective way to deal with them.

Erk, you won't be best pleased when you see the Off Topic forum then.

I've already seen it, and as I said - the damage is already done on this one :)

In that case: 

The "HDTP is dead" motif isn't going to be a successful troll here.
The first problem is that it's way to obvious your trolling. Second problem is that your material isn't original enough and won't instigate anything. It's a really overdone troll here.
The picture is a nice touch but it suffers from the same problems.
It's not going to make anyone mad and it's not funny enough to stand on it's own.
This is generally going to be a pretty difficult forum to get a really good troll going. But again, don't make it obvious or the whole thing just falls apart.
Your username is a perfect example of this. I knew before even opening the PM that it was a troll just from your name. Learn a little subtlety and i'll go a long way.
2.5/10 for effort at least.

I noticed that this forum software doesn't seem to have an option for reporting private messages. I was actually going to do that before I saw this thread and posted here.

I only said to "him" : "Please stop trolling, it would be nice. Thx".
Was it enough? 8)
