getting rid of trolls

[eyelikeart]

the bottom line...

this is a Macintosh rumors website....we are all here for the same reason....to discuss Apple Computer, the Mac, software pertaining to the Mac, etc, etc...

this is not a PC website by any means.....so there should be no reason for someone to come on here and constantly push cr@p in our faces about shortcomings of the Mac when compared to the PC makers....

if we wanted that....we'd go to microsoft.com or some other site similar....

I can't think of any way around someone coming back if they really wanted to. He could change his email address to something else, or get free accounts out the wazoo...

Maybe we could get some kind of guideline for posts, other then the ones already in place, to prevent the peecee ads.

I think pretty much everyone here knows that there is a p(n) that is (n)MHz/GHz out there and available, but most of us simply don't care. We are hard core Mac users that come here for tidbits of information, rumors, and to share information about Mac systems. We also like to help out fellow Mac users/fanatics/zealots . It can be fun reading the speculation about what will be announced at the next expo/event.

At least most of everyone else keeps on topic here (Mac based rumors/information). It's a shame that we have to tolerate an idiot like cyrus...

Is Troll a Noun or a Verb?

I've used it both ways though here I figure it's closer to the Verb.

Trolls tend to drag their hooks through a Forum hoping some poor schmuck will latch on. It's an efficient way to catch Salmon as long as your in the Boat and not the Salmon.

with total respect of you as the top poster and great comtributor, i have to disagree on this one point

i have been at macrumors since the first week and signed up a month later and i am the oldest poster active on macrumors and one of the top posters...i am no yahoo commenting on business since i have been in business for myself way more than a decade and have two degrees mostly on the topic of business subjects as well as a high tech certification so i know IT and have been there three years, which is respectable since many techies never work a day in this field

here is what i have found imho...rumors on macrumors represent maybe one percent of the posts on this forum...most are comments and people just talking about other stuff, including pcs (even to the point where they thnk that they are better)

personally i think macs a better, but i like to hear the pc side and we must remember, microsoft (my boss) once owned over 10 percent of apple and they are or were the second biggest apps maker for macs in the world (with 10,000 apps companies/products making or developing stuff for mac in os x)

this is the farthest thing i have seen with my 700 posts and 1000s of visits a true blue rumor forum

if rumors are rumors...we have been extremely accurate and maybe we should call ourselves macfacts.com

apple tries, very badly. to keep a tight lid on things but this site flushes apple inc out every time...it's better than an enama and a six pack with a cigar
