How to deal with forum trolls

Install greasemonkey browser addon. Click on dropdown arrow right of monkey head symbol (top right in FF), click New user script. Fill in the fields like this:

Name: cRPG forum troll filter
Namespace: cRPG forum scripts
Description: Removes posts from notorious cRPG forum trolls
Includes (One per line): http://forum.melee.org/*
Excludes (One per line):

Click OK. In the popup-window, post the following code below the header:

Code: [Select]
var trolls = [1,593];
var profileLinks = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0; i < profileLinks.length; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < trolls.length; j++) {
if (profileLinks[i].href === ('http://forum.melee.org/index.php?action=profile;u=' + trolls[j])) {
var post = profileLinks[i].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode;
if (post.className === 'post_wrapper') {
post.innerHTML = '';
}
}
}
}

Replace the array of trolls with your own list of user ids separated by commas (it currently only features chadz and me). Hit Ctrl + S and close the window.

From now on, every page request in the forum will be filtered by the script and posts of the trolls in the trolls array will be removed. You can easily disable greasemonkey by toggling the monkey head symbol in the browser (top right in FF). You can also disable the script, but leave greasemonkey running, by clicking on the arrow next to the monkey head symbol and choosing "Manage User Scripts", then clicking the "Disable" button on the entry for the cRPG forum troll filter script.

If you want to change the trolls array later on, go to "Manage User Scripts", click "Options" and in the popup window, click "Edit User Script". This will open the script in a new popup window. Don't forget to hit CTRL + S to save after having made your changes.

First.
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

Hehe, I just wondered, why this thread has no answers yet, when I remembered what it's all about. If someone thinks I should have answered on a post he has made, but I haven't answered, he should ask me about it in a PM.

How to deal with forum trolls:

It is a medieval style game after all ...
I find the idea of defending someone who isn't been violently raped unacceptable on moral grounds.

Right you are. The picture sort of indicates that the juridical system didn't move forward much since medieval times though.
