Moderator attempt at humor? Attempt at sympathy? Or is it just a moderator being passive aggressive?

All while one poster in the Blues forum turns it into a cesspool with their non-stop garbage. Awesome!

Personally love these posts. Funny and some truth to them as well. I love the Blues Talk forum even though there are a few bad apples. I keep my "foe" button handy and just don't respond to their posts or quote them.

So far I'm seeing off-topic complaints about trolls, oh and the mention of socks, all the while missing the point.

It's very likely the username you think is a sock... Isn't. It's also painfully clear that some folks really missed the points:
Assume everyone is an individual unless proven otherwise. (This is harder than it sounds.)
Let's have a discussion on this...
  1. Who's the troll you're talking about?
  2. In which forum?
  3. Which socks you do believe they have currently active?
If the troll is already banned, find them for me on the Banned Users list, providing me an imprecise name doesn't really help us have this conversation. For any active socks... use the main Members list to find them.

In both case provide a URL to their User Profiles, no profile, no point in having this discussion.

Sounds like somebody struck a nerve.

So, what you're asking, essentially that I do your job for you. No thanks. I'll continue to use the forum how I've used the forum for over a decade.

I guess they didn't get the response they expected. I'm not doing a moderators ACTUAL work while myself (and many others) have developed our own work around. It's like the geniuses in IT not acknowledging theres a problem while chiding employees for developing a way to do their job without all the IT reporting. We just want them to do their [fork]ing jobs. Unless this isn't a paid position for them. I fully support workers who ignore responsibilities a manager voluntold them they were responsible for.

The best solution is to shutdown the forums.
