Trolls are infesting the Game of Thrones board NON-STOP. None of threads on there relate to Game of Thrones board. I suspect the person responsible for infestaion is a troll by the name of Discerningly_Tasteful. He has many sock accounts, 2 of which are named 'TheDiscerningCritic' and 'KhaleesiFan_77

LoneSPX,
Not sure what caused the links to mess up, but to save others the hassle, the links are The_Discerning_Critic and Khaleesi_Fan77. The Private Messages are:

Before i looked at the PM's I assumed he was bothering you with PM's...but actually it is clear that he is replying to something you sent him...something I note that you do not post publicly for others to see as you have done with his messages....I also note you do not link to any of your posts on this board...I'm sure there are no conclusions to be drawn from that...but interesting to note, no?
Let me ask the obvious question....if you say these users are trolls and they are damaging your enjoyment of the Game of Thrones board, then why have you not simply reported them for trolling and placed them on your ignore list?

I have reported them MULTIPLE times.
I believe what he is saying is there are hundreds of pages under Game of Thrones, w/countless threads that have nothing to do with it.
I've noticed some nasty threads on a couple favorite actors' pages. After months the threads have been wiped, and they are now under GoT. They are very vulgar personal rumors ... spam?

The state of the GoT boards makes me mad. I post there because it's always been generally active and despite the mess, there are still people who visit them to discuss the show. I tried leaving and moving to westeros.org but it's very difficult to start a topic as it has to be approved by the moderators.
I wish someone would do something about this, I add as many trolls/off-topic accounts onto ignore but it's virtually impossible to ignore them all. And when you do find an on-topic thread it's full of hidden posts and you never know if they're genuine or spam.
The fact they joke about rape which seems to be the topic of choice at the moment is an absolute joke

Put them on ignore, Martyn.
Please discuss.
Please discuss.
As I said, I put as many as I can on ignore but when you find a genuine on-topic thread, the whole discussion becomes fragmented because at least 75% of replies are ignored.
Continue to place them on ignore.
It would be prudent to post something on-topic yourself, Martin, rather than to complain about the issue while doing nothing.
Please discuss.
