Default How To Get Rid Of Off-Topic Trolls In One Easy Lesson



If someone's post isn't at least 50% directly related to the topic of
cameras and photography, don't reply.

If there is at least 50% that is camera and photography related, only reply
to that portion of it that talks about cameras and photography.

If you can't reply with at least 50% of your message being related to
cameras and photography, edit it or delete it.

Example: If you post an image of a car and then talk about cars for two
weeks, count yourself amongst the throng of the usual resident off-topic
troll morons. (For good examples, see all posts by Daffy-Duck, a.k.a.
Savage-Duck, Bozo-In-A-Tank, a.k.a. tony cooper, George Kerby, Neil
Harrington, Bill Graham, John A., J. Clarke, and Peter N., et.al.)

Granted, these newsgroups are crawling wall-to-wall with these resident
off-topic trolls who believe this to be their personal forum and email
system to discuss their latest bunion and family-life problem, but this
will surely help to starve them out. And if not, at least educate their
sorry asses to what they've been doing since their arrival.

Warning: They have clearly shown themselves to be morons, so don't expect
them to figure this out very quickly, if at all. Most are not able to be
educated, which clearly shows in all their various means of participation
in these forums.
