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. Dave |

I killfill the majority of them as well, but as with the problem in making an idiotproof design, new idiots keep popping up. Jon |

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

: 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. |

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.

HTH Steve 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. Hawke |

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. |

Hawke 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. Dan Dan |

Bob Swinney 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. Art |

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.

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. Wes |

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. -- Cats, coffee, chocolate...vices to live by |

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

First step- his real-world contact info. Someone's gotta have it. Dave Are you going to take out Gunner too? TMT |

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

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

On Topic- Lets get rid of Cliff
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. i |

I 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. |
