When I'm healthy again, I'm taking you and Maria to Comet for some pizza and a GINORMOUS thank you!!!! Possibly a cake that says Polyester Troll. Just let me know if you prefer chocolate or vanilla!

Polyester Troll. I like it.

Go for it. There is no definitive way to identify unregistered users. Some will be me, some will be others with similar footprints. I can't wait to see your poor understanding of technology erode your users' privacy.

You really have no understanding of technology. My father used to say a person who knows a little is very dangerous. I wouldn't say that you are dangerous, but you are not doing yourself any favors.

Reading through Polyester Troll's posts reminded me that I've been meaning to ask - would you be able to add a "cringe" emoji to the available options?

How am I doing so far? I'll pause for a bit and make sure that you still want me to go ahead with the rest of your posts. I don't want any misunderstandings or accusations that I'm doing this against your will.

It will soon be clear which of us understands technology better. Peace out until next week! Remember that you have been given this week to prepare for the eventual registration requirement you will put on the site. There is no way to definitively identify anonymous users. Any methods you use will only put your most vulnerable users at risk when they are outed as a "troll".

Yes, run away. Also, did you ever find a nice wool sheath?

Jeff, have you ever played Mortal Kombat? (instead of him, make this "finish her")



Also, anyone who asks for recommendations for sheath dresses in this day and age neither understands fashion nor technology.

You have provided me much useful information with the posts you have labeled in this thread, and the ones you haven't. I can't speak for anyone else who might be outed in this process, but I consent to a username. Game on!!

I can't comment on how you are doing though because your search doesn't work. What is this about a wool sheath...?

If you go to one of the troll's posts, you can see a button for "profile." If you click on that, you'll find each post and each thread. To make it easy for you, just click this:

And enjoy!

Oooh, fun! Let's see who have identified as "me" with your super secret admin powers! Is that it though? Only 7 threads started? 3 dozen posts...? There should really be hundreds more that look like me given how jforum's anonymous posting works.

I don't understand why an otherwise intelligent poster, who supposedly cares about not propagating fake news and giving a voice to the true trolls on here, would be antagonizing and threatening the owner of the site. Are you an intelligent woman who needs a wool sheath and a starter home, or are you some creepy-ass troll who overuses the devil emoji?

That's just a start. I haven't added a username to the posts in threads that you didn't start. Plus, I think I found a new batch of threads but I am just confirming.

I'm starting to feel bad because it is pretty clear that you have no idea what you are getting yourself into and I don't want to take advantage of your ignorance. So, maybe I'll stop here.
