Faqole Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 That will require a custom plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Create a new group of members called "troll" - Set the permissions you want for this group. - move a troll member to this group 2. Create copies of the theme you are using. 3. In this new theme disable reputation. 4. Make this theme available only for group 'troll'. 5. Exclude a group of 'troll' from your theme default.

Adriano Faria Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 ...and then a new account is created using one of dozens disposable emails out there. Simply ignore it. They will stop when realize people don’t care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriano Faria Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 He will do it. Believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adlago Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 This is another topic. Author of this topic has restricted this member, and he did not make a new registration. A typical troll. Therefore, author of this topic to decide how to proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 But simply because another troll in another topic didn’t create another account doesn’t mesn that here will not create too, right? Or is here any rule out there for trolling forums? ? But I agree, it’s the OP who decides. You gave your cake recipe and said it won’t work because I already have this on my board. Anyway, not my problem. Really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll always have people who abuse this feature if you allow them to "downvote", "thumbs down", or otherwise assign a "negative" value to others' posts. ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
