Nice going guys. Seriously. Well done.

Dude, the troll keeps coming back at you because you're feeding him.

Just stay out of the comments section completely until the new system kicks in. If he brings his trolling tendencies onto the forum we can BanHammer his ass.

Apparently you annoyed someone on MyBB

Are these South African gamers or internationals? Its hard to believe that a fellow South African gamer would burn his fellow gamer brethren this way.

Its the World Cup and I'm ultra patriotic, hahaha!

Siff trolls

Yeah, I guess. I just really hope this guy stops once the login to comment system is up. Advice taken, though.

I just feel the need to point out (as I do) that this isn't going to change much.

The guy has an agenda, he impersonates members and I have no doubt that he's the same person who trolls the articles.

I still maintain that the comments just be disabled until the new system is implemented.

The trolling, the impersonation, the comments under articles in general are just embarrassing; until it can be moderated and effectively policed that's not going to change.

It makes the site look bad, it certainly does little to encourage new members... I honestly think the comments system as it stands now, is a tragic joke with the members and writers being the punchline.

Meh...

I've annoyed a lot of people in my time here. Just not to the point that I see them doing this. :P

My guess is more along the lines that it's someone who is very bored with their lives and have loads of time to sit around and do nothing.

You're probably right, but if we can funnel them onto the forum then we can ban accounts and IPs. It won't stop trolls being trolls but at least it'll keep them away from MyGaming.

Can we not enable moderation on the article comments? That way I can at least clean up the offensive posts for now.

Well, if the comment system is disabled, they'd be forced to use the forum if they want to comment. I'd consider that a rather win-win situation :p

Phew... better you than me :D

Why can't the forum posts be displayed under the article and the comments under the article appear in the forum? Then we could log in with our forum name.

Didn't someone suggest disabling the comments a while back? I could have sworn they did, and TinMan said it wasn't a viable option at the time. Will have a look if I can find the post again quickly.
