Are you not annoyed with such "I found a troll" posts which seem to have increased lately? It's pissy, if you ask me. [Fixed post]

Such "new troll found" posts seem to have increased in the lounge lately. :| Please use the "Report message" for abusive/crap messages and use the Suggestions forum to report trolls, or email Chris, if you actually want something to happen.

This can be used only if the particular user is really really amuck. Other than that posting in 'Suggestions' should bring the topic to his attention. Else, it would be an unnecessary bothering him for reasons which are very trivial.

Little gibberish messages can be take care of by voting itself right. More number of '1' vote, as it gathers, can prey on the message clearing it up. :)

For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. --William Wordsworth ("Daffodils")

no ! definitely not in the suggestion forum (the boards are already flooded enough with thread incriminating bad users). directly mail Chris (Chris _AT_ codeproject.com) instead.
