Why do people not just ignore GP? He’s been doing this for years, he’ll get bored & stick a fork in a plug socket or get run down by a truck or sometging if everybody just ignores his trolling. Don’t feed the troll.
The reason GP isn't ignored is the same reason as to why scammers and ponzi promoters aren't ignored. The forum administration won't do anything about these types of users, so the responsibility is tethered to the minority of community members that actually cares about protecting users from scams.
The troll may not be fed but it is self-sustaining and if you allow the troll to continually bump their threads and potentially delude unsuspecting victims into their scams, then is it not better to give them attention rather than the opportunity of theft?
