I didn't even know we were still using this. It was experiment from a few years ago and once in a while seems a good cure, but I haven't seen any requests for anything other than bans and O2 thief tags for ages. Still it's still a bloody good thing at times and from what I remember from GB's posts, well deserved.

Yes I can read it. As stacker said, I cannot see anything Geordie-Blerk writes and I think there are some more but don't remember names.

consider it a blessing.

:D I suppose you could look at it that way. I do find it a tad annoying that my viewing is censored though.

That was deleted by me. The COs aren’t keen on people circumventing the Troll Cloak (the site has it for a reason).

I haven’t had time to PM 5A yet explaining (am at work).

No need. By the way, why is the troll control a 'secret' if it's in the preferences controls?

I don't see the option on my account preferences. I also don't want to contravene any site rules such as quoting someone that I shouldn't.

It's not a secret at all. It's just not much of a deterrent if everyone ignores it but as you say, it's easy enough to discover how to turn it off if you want to read someone's posts.

What? Get real.

A troll cloak seems like it could be a good idea but who chooses who the 'trolls' are to be cloaked (it's OK 5A I know what you're going to say :D )?
Is that an individual thing or is it the mods who decide?

**JonnoJonno** · 28-10-2009, 11:23

Is there an option to prevent me reading a mod's precious mllaring?

Then how come I can still read posts from muppets such as Bugsy, bev79 and "chubb"? Surely their posts should have been invisible? I turned the troll thingy off because it doesn't filter the right trolls.
