Default On Topic- Lets get rid of Cliff

I'm serious, if this was a meatspace community, the Cliffs would be
ejected by the community.

Let's come up with some real-world sanctions/repercussions, get rid of
him, and then go after the next a-hole who takes his place.

Lets go after this ****er- it's time to draw a line, and when someone
crosses that line, get rid of 'em. Make coming here sufficiently
painful he stops coming.

First step- his real-world contact info. Someone's gotta have it.

I have had "Cliff" killfilled for several years now, and do not see any of
his posts.

Unfortunately, there are a sufficient number of bozos who incessantly reply
to him. I killfill the majority of them as well, but as with the problem in
making an idiotproof design, new idiots keep popping up.

How does one go about killfilling in RCM? I am using Outlook Exress in Giganews reader.

In OE, right-click on a post by the offensive one, click on Message, click
on Block Sender and, then, click on Yes when asked if you want the
offender's messages deleted.

On my OE, I have the message line highlighted. Go up to MESSAGE, select the
BLOCK SENDER from drop down menu. Select YES when it asks if you want to
filter that person. POOF, GONE. But they will probably morph in a short
time, so you will have to do it again.

I go through, and if someone is questionable, I look to see how many posts
they make on actual metalwork. If they don't make any or many, they go.
But some guys here know a lot about metalworking, and like to get into the
political mud wrestling, too. So it's a judgment call. When someone posts
something so stupid or offensive or profane that I know what kind of a
person they are, I have a one strike rule, thinking that it's likely that
they will never say anything meaningful, and if they ever do, I won't miss
much.

You need to give some thought to how much you would actually have to say
if you kept to strictly metalworking topics. Most people here do
projects as a hobby, which means they are not doing new things every day
and they have long periods when they do little or nothing metal related.
If they stuck strictly to metalwork they would make a couple of posts
and then go away because they wouldn't have anything else to comment on.
If you make all the posts strictly about metalworking do you know how
small this newsgroup would be, and do you know how little you would
contribute? I bet the majority of your posts have no metalworking
content. The truth of the matter is there is not enough metal content to
keep everyone interested so the topics go a lot more to current events.
I think it adds to the group. A lot of metalworking subjects people post
about have no interest except for a few people. You restrict the group
to just metalworking and you wind up with a very tiny group. Some people
would be happy with that but from the way it is now most would not like
that.

While it's true that many people here post about metalworking *and* on
non-related topics, there are two regulars here who _almost never_ post
anything related to metalworking, whose posts are almost always left-wing
political rants of one sort or another -- and whose posts the group would IMHO
be better off without.

One of those regulars is the subject of this thread.

The other one is you.

But this group is suppose to be just metalworking. And way back in
the past posts on metalworking were the majority of what was posted.
And if it were that way again, it would not be a tiny group. Many
people no longer read or post here because there are so much off topic
posts. I can think of three that posted on metalworking that no
longer read the group. People that posted things I liked to read.

I think we ought to ask Cliff to leave RCM off the groups when he
starts a thread on anything that is not on topic. Since he is the
most prolific poster that would be a good start. Then look at the rcm
statistics and find who is then the most prolific poster. And if it
is someone that posts only OT items, ask them to please not include
RCM in the groups their messages are posted to.

Block Sender is one way but I've come up with a better way that
even blocks the idiots who reply to him.
Create a filter thusly:
Open any post by the offending idiot and copy the From info to the
clipboard. Close the post.
On the OE main menu - Tools | Message Rules | News
Click New.
Check boxes "Where from line contains people", "Mark it as read",
and "Mark message as watched or ignored".
In window #3 Click "contains people" and Add the offenders info. OK.
Click "watched or ignored: and select "ignore". OK.
Window #4 rename the rule if you want to.
OK. OK.
Then set your View to "hide read or ignored messages"
You will now never see any of the offenders posts nor any post
that replies to it.

It is the same for any usenet newsgroup, and is specific to the
newsreader which you are using. Some offer much more powerful
killfiling capabilities than others.

"Outlook Express" is your newsreader, and "Giganews" is your
news server. Unless you were using a web-based interface to the
newsgroup, it really would not matter who you use as the news sever,
execept that some my be doing a better job of killing off spam before
you see it than others.

Since what I use is "slrn" on a unix system, I can't tell you
how to do it in Outlook Express, which does not run on my systems, but
as I understand it, it is far less capable than free programs for
Windows like "Agent".

I think that you perhaps should look into changing newsreader to
one which is recommended as having good killfile capabilities under
Windows. (I won't bother suggesting that you change to Linux or some
other unix system -- if you were willing to do that, you would have
already I suspect. :-)

Of course -- you *will* have to learn a different user interface
when you switch newsreaders -- but I suspect that you will discover lots
of other reasons to like the new one after the switch.

Good luck,
DoN.

You want to know how to killfile someone? It's real simple and you don't
have to know anything. It's like the idea people have about safeties on
guns. They say the only safety you need on a gun is the operator. If you
keep your finger off the trigger until the correct time to shoot you'll
never have a problem; so who needs a mechanical safety? On the newsgroup
all you do is use your mouse or your eyes. When you come across a post
that you don't want to read you just pass over it or you just delete it.
Simple, huh? It's a lot better method than trying to eliminate everyone
you don't agree with the way right wingers like to do.

I had to kill file him years ago. I have strong political beliefs and he tends to post
salaciaus topics and seldom contributes anything, at least up to the time I kill filed
him. Same for TMT though I think TMT could be a contributing member of this group if he
would tone it down. There is someone on some of the web boards using his handle that has
the same writing style but stays inside the lines well enough to not get kicked.

I don't have a problem with discussing things that are OT with people that are actually
interested in metalworking. I can give you the run down on how I turned a 2 1/2# bar bell
weight into a hand wheel for a collet closer today but I don't think most people really
care that much. We all have dry spells in our metalworking at times but still like to
chat with those we have come to like after years of posting.

I long ago concluded that "Cliff" is not a real person but is, instead
an automaton, a fairly clever computer program that someone has left
running. At first I thought that it was a failed experiment in
artificial inteligence, but then decided it was a successful experiment
in artificial stupidity.

I concluded "Cliff" is an Eliza program that was given internet access after some demented
scientist gained access to the worlds nuclear launch codes and tweeked Eliza just a bit to
fit his worldview. No nation state dares shutting it down for fear of the repercussions.

No, the first step is to killfile him and not respond. After that, no
further action would be necessary. Same with anyone who posts more on

Thanx, all.

The analogy with "troll" was pretty much on the mark. I'll not do a lot of killfilling but will
centainly concentrate on the gross cross-posters when I do.

I just welded a patch panel on my CJ5. Did you want to hear all about
it? I didn't think so.

I recall Hack posting about a Titanium dildo he was working on that he was
looking forward to shoving up his ass.

That's exactly the kind of idiot posting that the complainers are
bitching about. Crawl back under your rock.

And they only bitch when the post isn't conservative.

All that's required to neutralize _all_ the trolls is to simply ignore
all off topic posts. Don't look at them, don't read them, don't respond
to agree and stroke the ego of the poster, don't respond to set the
poster straight and stroke the ego of the poster. Just let them drop
like rocks in a pond that refuses to ripple.

NOTHING is more painful to trolls than simply being ignored.

Are you going to take out Gunner too?

No. Gunner has added more useful metal information to the group then the
three of you cross-posting spammer combined.

If Gunner would stick to metalworking and leave off the incendiary
quotes at the end of EVERY posting...

Have you noticed how the signal to noise ratio took a dive when he
came back from rehab (or wherever the hell he was)?

I killfile everything crossposted to survivalism, Cliff and a few more
left wing and right wing kooks. My criteria is that the person whom I
killfiling has nothing to contribute. It works out fairly well.

I cannot killfile crossposts to alt.machines.cnc, for obvious
reasons.

Instead of killfiling posts crossposted to survivalism, please just trim
survivalism out of your reply. This would help immensely by stopping the
spam in survivalism. We really don't appreciate your spamming community that
spawned the likes of Cliff and Hack, and the freak with two mommies.
