QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker That works if you have non-employees as moderators. But liek I mentioned before, there may be legal issues to that since this web site is wholly owned by Kalmbach and is not private venture. On our game site we do have users with administrator rights who are in Europe, so there is pretty much around the clock monitoring. And at least one of the Yahoo groups I am on has a moderator from outside the US, so when it's 3am here, he's wide awake and available to deal with problems. --Randy

QUOTE: Originally posted by jfugate DFTTF (Don't feed the trolls food) That's all the post we all should make to any future troll attempts that get through to the forum. They love flaming responses. But if all they are are a steady stream of DFTTF ... they'll not get the gratification they're after.
QUOTE: Originally posted by JohnT14808 I'm wondering why the MR forum doesn't have some of the state of the art software that allows the forum moderators to lock down the DSN address of the troll ( how they are found on the Internet.)
