Admin help needed

 I checked a bunch of them...10 or so....all different states, ISP's....it was actually VERY random, I am wondering if they are visitors from another board and all know each other?  Dunno. 

I will bet you a dollar to a donut hole that 2manyanimals is Billy. That name would continue to pick at Rats and he loves to stir sh*it...he's said as much himself on many an occasion.

2manyanimals' IP was from Texas...think Billy lives in the Midwest somewhere?  But I could be wrong, that's just the impression I have. 

Given the ease with which one can switch IP's these days,...I don't use that as much as posting style to ID trolls and double ID's. When our member Joel came back his IP was different...but same Joel nonetheless...he didn't move...just changed IP's.

Glenda...were I you I'd close the thread. It seems to be infested with trolls...email the OP and others on the thread first, about why...but right now? It's is troll a palooza and that alone constitutes a closing of the thread. None of them have any posts and this is their first? Yeah right..definitely trolls trying to bait folks.

ETA: Nah I posted a cautionary note there...we'll see what happens...don't close it just yet...

Billy and Amanda/Bevolasvegas, probably Ixas too...how sad.

Good point, Gina.  Why that thread, I wonder?  Weird...

Who do you think is who?  I didn't really read the posts, just scanned for new posters and ran their IP's. 

That thread I'd asusme because they figure mods don't watch nutrition as closely as other sections. 

I wouldn't be surprised if they exchanged passwords so any of them can log in as the other at any time. Watching the bottom userlist when one of the ID's is on, and seeing which of them isn't also logged in would be interesting.

I do watch nutrition tho.....as much as time permits and it's really annoying me to have these folks playing games over there.  Thanks for the note in the thread Gina.  We'll just wait and see.  IF it gets worse when I'm not around, shut it down for me?

Gina, if your theory is right then I am sure they aren't working together.  Bevolasvegas, at least, doesn't like Ixas_girl...so I don't think they'd team up to troll. 

I dunno.  There were a couple times I did a doubletake because Bevo backed up something that Ixa had said.  Ixas is almost worse now as a member than she was as a mod......at least as a mod she had to PRETEND to be civil

misery loves company...IMO if Ixas extended a hand to Amanda or Billy, complete with inside info/gossip she had when she was a mod...no telling what might happen.

That is possibly true...it doesn't quite sit right with me but then not much about this situation does, so what do I know?  LOL.  Billy and Amanda have definitely been on the troublemaking end of the spectrum, moreso recently...if they were given advice on how to stir up trouble under the radar they might take it.

Ixas, I've noticed, hasn't been around much, or at least posting much.  Whether that's because she's mad Jaime and Jill backed me up last week or because she's getting her jollies in some other way I don't know. 

Hmmmm, well another one has logged in with their first post being how wonderful Pedigree is.

Leave it?  Close it?  I know Jaime doesn't like for threads to be closed, but dang it, it's thick with trolls.......
