Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Folks -

PLEASE: Do Not Feed the resident trolls.

It is all too apparent that their names and their behaviour give them away.

Attention is what they want - don't give them that satisfaction.

Do not engage them.

Report the posts made by them and move on.

The report abuse link can be found on every post next to the name of the poster of that message.

Thank You.

im having trouble finding the rule to find out what a troll is im trying to find the rulesim not trying to be a pain....thank you

Someone who comes into this forum with the express purpose of being disruptive and abusive. We have a couple that like to come around and try to pick fights with some of the members of the forum. They never actually contribute anything worthwhile, only try to start trouble.

Sometimes it is difficult to resist jumping into the fray and trying to run them off, but unfortunately, that only serves to fuel the fire. They are best completely ignored.

When you see it, you'll recognize it. Just hit the old "Abuse" button and report it to the moderators so they can delete it. These guys get banned from the forum on a regular basis, but they just change their screen names and come back under another name. They are easy to recognize, though...so just don't reply to any of their posts and report the post as abuse and it will be taken care of.

just wanted to say thank you oldherper im glad you explained it to me ,and ill keep my gaurd up if i run into any trolls
