Just that. The pointless, dull goady posts everywhere at the moment just need blanking (the irony of starting a thread about it though).

And I think posters should get stars next to their usernames everything they hit "report".

The 'rules' made up by MNers are fairly restrictive.

Look you.. you can't be talking sense on a tinternet forum... Ain't right you know..

Seems totally pointless to respond to goady fuckers on the thread. Just report and move on.

Half the time you don't know it's a troll til the thread is pulled!

Yes, there is the problem of knowing how to spot the trolls amongst the genuinely slack-brained. I know loads of dunderheads who say stupid shit out loud in real life, so sometimes I'm not as surprised at the dafter stuff on here as I should be so I don't doubt it.

It's the silly ones that are harder to spot than the nasty or massively attention-seeking dramatic ones. I suppose they're less important to spot. I dunno.
