And pretty much the best thing to do about such idiocy is to ignore it. (Which isn't a bad technique in general, hijackers or no.)

Incidentally, I've stopped even replying to him, I'm just instantly binning any posts I see from hijacked accounts.

[edit] By the way, if anybody coming back from vacation or whatever finds that their account is banned for things they didn't do, I apologize, but your account was unfortunate collateral damage in the ongoing troubles. You may feel free to register another one in such case.

Im just going to say ONE THING:

If you see me acting like an idiot, being a pervert (like that troll that was a perv to Coraline) or asking for Brutal Doom compatibility, ITS NOT ME.

If you see me asking for Brutal DooM compatability, it's not me.

However, if you see me suggesting everyone elect johnny for president, it probably *IS* me. :P

Well, a more obvious indicator to us moderators is if there are any posts of yours that come from any IP address other than the one that you've used the entire time you've been here. Your account is an easy one, since you've only ever posted from one place, ever. I don't have to sift through 30+ different IP logs to find suspicious activity like I do with some accounts.

Good to know! :D

EDIT: I think everything about the trolls was discussed here. If you want to close the thread, go ahead.

The only question is...how many are there left? Pretty sure there are many, many more accounts hacked. There are nearly 3000 registered members. Lets say 100-200-300 are the regular people who log in often and have a strong password. What of the rest?

You get to see what happens when you divide by zero. :P
