There's a report button at the bottom of every post. Simply hit the report button give a reason and submitt it. This will send the post to the mod team who will look into it

Thank you both! I just wasn't sure!

Just as long as you don't report all the Trolls in the post, Mods Stop. That entire post is all Trolls!

Oh wait....does this post now make me a troll?

Lol - Just read the first few pages! Too funny! I will have to read some more later!

I too would like to know. I believe I found one under a bridge near the village.

On a more serious note, well for the moment anyway! It just really irked me when I realized that this person was probably just wasting everyone's time. The knowledge that is shared on this forum is invaluable and the dedication of all those who share it, is much appreciated. So, I don't have much patience for people that are taking away what I consider something very valuable, time, when there are others that really need help!
Okay, venting finished! Back to fun now!

From a variation of Wikipedia:

A troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion, often for their own amusement.

I should have looked up this definition! The poster I was talking about was just posting questions that didn't make sense to me and I looked at the other threads that had been posted by him/her that were the same! I'm sorry if I made a mistake!

I'm not the troll right? I moderate my trolling I swear.

Best thing to do is start a new thread with a poll and let the r2r family decide. A screen name will help.

Were they questions or answers? If answers, I might know who you are talking about. A poster who dribbles nonsense answers to posts....with these answers being meaningless poppycock.

Pretty much! The poster has started 19 threads and stated different days running ie... earlier thread tank has been running 40 days vs. newest thread, tank has been running 3 days. He/she does have pictures, but there are lots of pictures on the internet, it just didn't feel right to me!
