Cloudy with a chance of trolls

A rather lackluster and uninspired troll attack in progress--no need to alert us, we already know. If you see any replies buried in threads that are inappropriate rather than just pointless, let us know about that, as we might not spot them.

Blast. I take my eye off the ball for a weekend and miss the fireworks.

I don't think it was necessary to remove all of the threads, even though many of his posts were also unnecessary. Troll or not, he did bring up a few valuable points here and there.

Haha, not really.
It was pure laziness that led to all of the posts being removed. We used the 'delete as spam' function, which lets you get rid of everything posted by the offender with the click of one button.
Normally wouldn't do that, but really didn't feel like wading through it all. If there were any good points, feel free to bring them up yourself.

If you don't remember them, obviously they weren't that memorable.

Nope. Nothing of value was lost.

It was this

I was like this reading their posts:

I think the reason they came here was because this happened to them:

TL;DR: Any attempts at trolling with actual effort I've seen kept on this board.
