When Skinner sold the site to EarlG, did he take the TrollAway with him?

[Stinky The Clown]

If EVER this place needed spraying, today seems particularly infested.

[JHB]

1. Considering the season (election) and the obvious enahancers (sTrumpets)...

...it's not all that unexpected.

[Yonnie3]

2. 'tis the season for trolls n/t

[BannonsLiver]

3. Concern troll posts seem to be on the rise

Of course I had a longtime member and alleged progressive tell me the post office scandal was made up and not true. So there’s a lot in the mix right now.

4. When did this happen?

News to me

[Hekate]

32. Look in the Announcements Group for Skinner's fond farewell

[Stinky The Clown]

15. ZOT!!!

[Hekate]

31. I love it when that happens

MIRT rocks

[herding cats]

16. If you're seeing what you think is an obvious troll alert a MIRT member.

They're out local hardworking, under appreciated and dedicated troll busting team.

Nothing has changed since the Elad became the owner, it's just troll season.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. Stinky The Clown: Proud four term MIRTerer.

And I LIKED it!

[herding cats]

24. Good work! Your volunteering is appreciated.

That part was posted for the others who might be reading here.

I don't even know how many terms I have under my belt now, I've completely lost count over the years. I've taken a couple of available terms off recently due to life, but I like it, too. It's nice to give back to the community here.

[Blue_true]

17. Do an Alert. There is a system in place for handling a troll problem.

If someone is making a reasonable point and you disagree with it, then I would say that maybe you should re-evaluate your definition of what a troll is. At any rate, the Alert and Jury system sorts things out adequately, IMO.

[Stinky The Clown]

20. See post 18, right above your head there

[JI7]

19. Trolls always increase as we get closer to elections

[Cha]

22. Yeah, & Hopefully we Won't Get HACKED!

[herding cats]

25. That was a horrible night in many ways.

I'll never forget it. A deeply dark day and no solace from my friends and peers here. I cannot accept that outcome again, and I'm doing all in my limited power to avoid it.

I'm active here in Texas registering voters and calling for candidates like a fiend this time around! I'm terrified of another 2016 replay and am working my butt off (remotely - it's kind of weird) to make a difference. Normally, I'd also drive elderly people to the polls, but this cycle were just encouraging our elderly voters to vote by mail here and calling them to give them the tiny bit of human touch we can without endangering them.

I'm missing a registration drive this next weekend due to my granddaughter's 4th birthday (I cannot believe it's been 4 years!) celebration. We're the only ones in her pod other than her household, so it's not like I have a choice of not attending this year. Still, I feel guilty for not participating all things considered.

[Cha]

27. I know, Cats..

It was so bad... I was in extreme shock and panic attacked, too.

So much gratitude to you & your Texas Dems for All you're doing in Texas For America!

My granddaughter's 2nd birthday is tomorrow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Your Granddaughter, Cats! !

28. Sometimes I miss the days when Admin would let us play with the trolls for a bit.

My claws need sharpening! But, given some of them, I appreciate our wonderful MIRT trash removal teams.

[Stinky The Clown]

29. Those were the days.

Even in this thread, I am keeping my cool.

[niyad]

30. I noticed.

[orleans]

33. troll on the go

[Stinky The Clown]

35. I have one kinda like that on my tail tonight

[orleans]

36. sorry to hear that.

[Wolf Frankula]

34. Did he take the Billy Goats Gruff?

They deal with trolls very well.

Wolf

[orleans]

37. here's a fresh can for you

[Skittles]

38. eh, to be expected after that four day public spectacle

ya know?

[catbyte]

40. We on the MIRT are trying, but some get by us. Please alert or DM one of us. We'll zap 'em.

[Stinky The Clown]

41. Are you guys still bound by post counts?

When I was on MIRT once a troll got to a certain post count he was out of range.

[catbyte]

42. Yeah, 100. That's why we really watch newbies that seem to be running up their post

count with meaningless drivel. Anything over 100 we have to kick upstairs.
