Screwfix and the Troll

What I'd say is to now expect more porn. He'll be reading this, and will be loving the attention and the way it's wound everyone up.

 

Nor me, Bazza. I'm not yet one of the hallowed elite. Mind you - only a few months in and 63 trophy points already, so stand by with the sawdust-coated red carpet, mate.

 

Can't open it as I am no longer 'Select' possibly coz I didn't post any porn and simply wrote the cynical truth which led to a ban for 4 months. ...So I am being careful these days as with the right thread I can still help out which will benefit other people.

 

Don't worry Butch they are given away these days after a few posts, I waited about 12 years

 

Am talking about the new one, anyhow I thought Natelite had sorted the Troll out back then for good!

 

'Butch'. Loving that. My new forum nickname I think.

 

I did. I wrote to the CEO through the complaints section of the main website. The response surprised me actually. SFA! This was the last time that porn was left on the site for over 24hrs and I did expect some form of acknowledgement but I'm afraid not. Very poor. Market leader in this business with the most amateur forum in existence.

 

Screwfix could always discontinue the Forum if they wished to do so as that would probably save them money.

 

Not a mod thats for sure!

 

Good luck with getting the police interested.

 

You don't spend enough I'm afraid.

 

And how do you suggest they find teh IP when it uses a VPN? The VPN hides the posters original IP and uses one of a large block ... The only way would be to block a complete range which is impractical as it may well block legitimate users too.

 

I don't actually see what the fuss about a pornographic picture is about, it's not as if (I assume) everyone on here hasn't seen or done what was shown, the same furore wasn't created when there were photos the troll put up of scantily clad women in various positions, presumably as they were attractive rather than blatantly obscene, even though it's supposedly unsuitable for a 'family forum'. I find it far more offensive that members have been targeted and stalked offline in the real world than a stream of tripe filled posts on here, if the moderators at screwfix need a boot up the bumhole it should be over that as they've allowed this nonsense to go on for a few years now, not a picture that you could access by changing the website name in your search engine.
