My my, well it would appear we've been duped.
I'm getting extremely fed up with these trolls.
Blackbirds militia idea is sounding mighty fine right about now.

Sadly, in the end, we lost two great individuals to this flapdoodle.
Hopefully they'll return soon.

Surprisingly SIMviation has very few troll issues, which is a nice thing compared to several boards I go to.

Want to see what trolls are like go to www.ign.com and search the plethora of gaming forums. Its rediculous lol.

A few of us will remember that we've been here before regarding "Trolls".

After studying the Photo and reading the very long-winded and highly detailed post by XXX_XXXX, I very soon came to the conclusion that this person had all the hall-marks of the typical Troll inviting attention, which we have experienced in the past, for the same reasons.

I was sorely tempted to suggest this may be the case, but having had my hands slapped before for generating posts which are frowned upon by Members, etc, I thought better of it and refrained from replying.
Which is the reason why you don't see very much of me nowadays in the Discussion Forums... ...!
Your old mate Foz has learned through long experience, not to be too gullible in believing what you read, see and hear... ...!

Cheers all... ...!

Oh yeah?!

Well at least we a....

Oh..yeah, this is the kind of stuff to avoid...

The lesson being...never post before taking your Ritalin

Nexus, you don't think we feel for Roger and Stormtrooper? I think you are a bit off base here in saying "This time the Mods screwed up". I actually think that you as many members have NO IDEA how much was going on behind the scenes trying to figure out how to handle this delicate situation!

This shot is taken from the "Admin Forum". As you can see, The Fli-Girl" issue was of utmost importance. Remember, this thread did not start because of the validity of Linda, "AkA Fli-Girl", it started because one of our members "manipulated" Fli-Girl's Signature picture. It did not matter if it was a male or female! These are things you do not do at this site! The first 3 pages were dedicated to finding out who did this. And as all of you know, it takes allot of posts to acquire 10 pages!



For those of you who thought we were "not taking immediate actions", I hope you realize we were doing all we could. It isn't that easy to make decisions when you are dealing with somebody who isn't them self to begin with. Where do you draw the line? We are all what we post and we make the best judgments we can. We are not "The Internet Police", we closed it all down pretty quickly!
I would say the other!  "We were So on top of the situation that I think we were waiting to see if the above picture needed to be shown!" In the end our decision was handled as best as could be now seeing that Fli-Girl was not who He/She claimed to be. IMHO!!


We only "got" the proof that Fli-Girl was not Fli-Girl on Tuesday. What did you want us to do, slap a shot of her and her breasts right up in the Café?  I Think Not!

It was when members started figuring out for themselves that our cute little Linda was maybe a Troll. The threads flamed quicker than I have ever seen and I locked 2 of them and deleted one as soon as I saw what was happening.

So for anybody to think that we were sitting back and doing nothing, you are dead wrong!! In fact, the time we all volunteer here to "over see" what goes on here was put to the test last night! If you think that it is all fun and games here doing this, you are dead wrong!! If Roger and Stormtropper were so overcome by the 20 minutes that all hell broke lose last night, then so be it. I speak for all of us Mods who volunteer our time to help make this place run smooth, We too are saddened by the lose of a real valuable member. This "Family" is now down a real valuable and knowledgeable member who was always willing to help out! So before any of you go pointing fingers, realize we are human just like you and do not have crystal balls.

We were on top of it, dealt with it and got rid of the problem. It is just ashame that a Troll took a few members with it!

I don't think so, "Mods did their job and banned a Troll who unfortunately took a few with her and it cost the SimV community dearly!!
