I have reason to believe that after being banned, a former member is trolling under different names on this forum. These posts are not from me or from the other Mod , Keeper. Please ignore these postings , as I will.

I'm sure everyone knows you did not post those comments.

I am lost? Never knew X was banned or know that he is using another name.

I don't know if I'm allowed to say this here (and if so, feel free to delete with no hard feelings on my part), but I'd like to point out that it seems to me that the mods here in the Florida forums give the posters quite a bit of latitude that's not always granted elsewhere. It demonstrates an understanding of the unique dynamics of the Florida posters and a tolerance of the sometimes rough and tumble exchanges that can occur when a diversity of viewpoints collide.

With that said, if someone could enlighten me with a link to the definition of "troll post" that mods on CD use as a guideline for discipline, I'd really appreciate it. It's more for my own benefit, since one of my posts was so labeled and deleted elsewhere.

I agree. I've had a couple of threads/posts deleted but in all honesty, they needed to be. Mods here are good, imo.

I saw a couple really weird and awful posts yesterday directed to our mods, I am thinking those are the ones being referred to? I am surprised at it being X - I know he was negative, but I didn't know he was that bad. I guess I missed something. It's too bad that when someone is banned they can still come back under other names.

I am not advocating it but you can block the IP address, which is more stringent and somebody would need another computer than just another new user name.

This doesn't make much sense, since I believe the majority of people use such accounts. (I don't know this, but I know that gmail is very popular--it's what I use.)

I also didn't understand the OP--was this troll posting under your name?

I understand why someone can't be blocked using IP addresses. So how can someone be banned? Can't you just create another account using a different email address?
