  Why the fuck would you be trying to make a new account when you haven't even contributed shit under this one? I have no idea how true this is or not, but it sounds like a pretty good change to me if it's true.

  I too would welcome this change. And thanks for letting us know you're a multiple screen name troll.

  Hey I was the guy who single handedly led a protest to save Follies. I camped out for weeks. And I've been a long time paying VIP member hence why I can post this thread. It seems a lot of fake reviews are going through to gain VIP credit in order to troll.

  If this is true, it's good news! The more trolls have to invest their time and money before posting, the more they'll think twice before trolling. Nice work founder!

  For what benign reason would someone want a sock puppet? Can't think of any.

  ^ some people use them to say assanign things without risking their reputation, they think. Sock puppeting is rarely benign. SJG

  Yep I just verified this. I created a test account, and tried to post a comment on this thread. I got a popup that said "you are in quarantine. Verify your account, write a review or post an article." Nothing will stop a truly dedicated troll, but these extra steps will reduce trolling by making the lazy troll give up bc he doesn't want to deal with getting a review approved, sending in a photo, etc., and by giving the more dedicated troll pause because he doesn't want to go through the trouble again if he gets banned. Next stops (imo) ... * browser fingerprinting: makes it easier to identify single users posting to multiple accounts and to permanently ban the worst offenders, but I bet founder won't tell us when this lands, he'll just quietly deny access and the trolls will just pack up and head to r/stripper or whatever * the holy grail: 50+ ignores and automatic quarantine/suspension/something, bc if you've pissed off that many people on ultra tolerant tuscl you need to seriously consider your life choices * extra credit: automatically translate the most annoying trolls' posts to pig latin for a few days to fuck with them before banishing Feature request: can we call the Quarantine the Ignore Zone?

  ^ Founder had said something about this. He is trying to contain the number of trolls. SJG The Pretenders - My City Was Gone - Chicago School of Rock [view link] [view link]

  @mac: you’re not a troll. You are weird as fuck yet impressively dedicated to pretending you are an automobile and not a guy who goes to strip clubs, without a doubt. But you’re funny and don’t attack people or say shit just to wind them up. Definitely not a troll in my book. You are welcome to dump a load in my (neighbor’s) basement anytime. Dump on, my dumper!
