Is it me or am I seeing an increase in trolls running around the forum. Or am I just on old fart who sees some rather odd posts recently.

I'd say that overall there are fewer Trolls than there used to be, so maybe when you see a few 'Troll like posts' in quick succession it appears that there are quite a few knocking around..... if you follow?

Yes I do. There has without doubt been some funny old post recently and since I've been keeping myself to myself I guess I have missed the trend?

Troll: somebody that posts to stir things. Posts things that they have copied from other posts to make them look like they know what they are on about. Usually found in short pants and still at school or just a pain in the arse.

If you think we may have one sculling around the forums, then just press the report button and we'll take a look. smile

Not if you (I don't mean you ) post inane rubbish like some (+1 comments or merely adding LOL's are two that spring to mind).

Of course, it's so obvoius I don't know why I didn't see it before. PH does nothing to discourage the rubbish / pointless posts because it's all traffic, irrespective of content. And traffic means money. Never mind the quality, see the quantity, to paraphrase a 60's / 70' sitcom.
