^He considers it fun.
I've read some recently about the art of trolling public forums to influence opinion, derail discussion, etc. It's interesting

You know the resident troll is failing when the only way to elicit any reaction whatsoever is to create a new account for virtually every troll post. All regular alt accounts ignored by virtually all forum users whether bear or bull.
Reintroducing newbie jail would engineer the desired effect of silencing him permanently I suspect.

I don't like that idea. Newbies can't defend themselves like we can.
Imagine the welcoming committee he would make
Fair point - perhaps that is where the moderating needs to happen. Newbie 'jail' (don't really like the word), with the insta-trolls insta-deleted. TBH I can't see him taking the time and effort to 'do the time'
Perhaps there is a middle ground where trolls could be evicted b4 they ever got to the main boards, without new members being torn to shreds
He is extremely crafty...
True, but imagine the extra work required to conceal it's identity only to get deleted once true colours shone through ... at some point it would become like pissing in the wind, a bit like it is in here for us

There is more action in my ignore list than in the bitcoin markets today.

Nice work Adam! Trolling only allowed for "full members" at least. 
Am I really so annoying? Feri22 accused me of trolling too.
NO! So you made someone's list, too? These are truly paranoid times, Gentlemen.
I might have gotten a little colourful as the price dropped lower and lower, but I didn't think it was this they meant with Bitcoin needing more liquidity. It feels like I have financial diarrhea.
Edit: thx phoenix1!
Thing is, that is just getting emotional, it's not trolling. And we are all (mostly
) humanTroll's never admit to being wrong
Yey, and BMB, I agree, when people are in a financial squeeze, they sometimes don't appreciate the humour. But hey, WTF, win or lose, what's the point if you can't have a laugh while you are doing it? Even better if it is self-deprecating ... shows depth of character. And sometimes, just sometimes, being open to having a laugh might just snap someone out of a tight spot for long enough to see the bigger picture

Self-deprecating humour is verboten around these parts. Too many old members with too much money at stake I imagine. They get spooked easily

Trolling is an attitude and a habit. For some it's even a way of life! I've met even professors at the university trolling just for fun on public forums... (Hmm, now I think about it... hmm... 
) Anyway. It takes a billion times the effort to repel a troll than what it takes just to ignore him/her. Do the right thing. Adopt the list. And please contribute if you have seen something I didn't. This way it's better for everyone. Probably even for NLC.

Personally, not doing the list thing, but any newbie account that looks like a sockpuppet, button gets an instahit. Sick of all these alt-accounts, but they are so damn easy to spot, its not really a big deal
Edit: Ok Fatman, you get a sympathy vote from me
But seriously, when people like the BlindMayor and Fatman, who are here to hang out, chat BTC and have a laugh, are making it onto 'lists' due to the overwhelming number of vomit-spewing alt-accounts, something is going wrong
Good people are getting crowded out by people with multiple personality disorders

Maybe we could have a poll on it ... just a thought
Not sure which way I would vote, but I'm open to bribery if you need support
I can't afford it with these prices

Funny to see the almighty Draghi being terrified by... a girl with a bag of confetti! Is this the man who when he talks the "markets" go crazy? Oh Please!
The funny thing to me is, the girl there has no idea whatsoever, what she is protesting against. I bet she is of an anti-capitalist bolshevik sort. A useful idiot, who does not understand that a fight against capitalism is a fight against her own prosperous life. I bet she is against everything that this bitcoin crowd here stands for.
Don't understand me in a wrong way - I oppose the central banks too. Just not by pacting with bolsheviks. Ever.
The problem with the Occupy Wall Street protests is kind of the opposite. They have no real political agenda, they have no clear message. It's all "Ughh, banksters are destroying everything. The financial sector are all crooks." They don't want regulation, they don't want an alternative to banking, they don't want to close down the stock markets. At least the "bolshevik" socialists of old believed in something and wanted real tangible change. The Occupy Wall Street movement is just a lot of whining from people who's got nothing constructive to add. They're not liberals, they're not socialsts, they're not conservatives. It's a fad protest movement for shallow people from the middle class who wants to collect bumper stickers and Lapel pins. At least the french riots and the London riots weren't messing about.
