So, after a bit of messing around, it was agreed to make a little thread to tell people quickly and efficiently that there is a troll of some sort messing around here.

Any present trolls names will be displayed on the thread title, and this thread will be locked for the time the troll is here, But please don't load any page after the first when a troll is about, this includes (if you already looked at the thread past your one page mark) clicking on the 'new' icon.
To block anyone, go to your own profile, mouse over modify profile, click on the Buddies/Ignore list, then type in the exact name of the person you want blocked.
Also, in case that you may still see any of the images or text that the troll may expel, go to 'look and layout' and click the 'Hide Messages From Users on your ignore list.' Checkbox.
Also, one fine user by the name of 'Reelya' has decided to make a script that can block images with certain keywords, I will be putting up the post word for word so I don't mess anything up:
this is the script to censor troll images. When the troll strikes, if someone can PM me any more stuff that slips through the 'net, I can improve the detection.

http://jgame.net.au/scripts/bay12troll.user.js

This is JavaScript, which needs to run with GreaseMonkey extension on FireFox, or TamperMonkey on Chrome to run properly, After installing GreaseMonkey, you should be able to click on the link and automatically install the script.

See near the top, there is a small table with two entries "porn" and "surgery". Those are partial matches on the image urls from sites the troll uses. I guess this could also block legitimate images with those keywords in the url, but I doubt they'd be legit anyway.

To test that the script is working for you, try changing those entries to "jpg" and "png". Keep all punctuation the same. All jpg images on Bay12 should change to kittens and pngs to rainbows, on reload. When you're sure you have this installed in your browser set the keywords as needed. And let me know of any improvements that I can make. I'm thinking of adding a language filter for the board topics.
Edit: If you use chrome, you might encounter some problems using this, so here is the direct quote from Reelya:
I just got it running in Chrome without much problem. I did it by opening the settings->tools->extensions, and dragging the script in there. After that, a reload of bay12 in Chrome has the images being swapped out, though Chrome seems to show more of the old images before the swap occurs, so on Chrome you might be exposed to the troll images a split second longer while the page loads.

But Chrome spits the dummy when I open the browser again because there's a custom extension (written by me) that isn't registered with the Google App Store, and just decides to disable both the script and the option to re-enable it, without me getting a choice in the matter (well I get to choose between permanent disablement and outright deletion). Apparently the tech support "solution" is to get the script's author to upload it to the app store. I guess I could install TamperMonkey (the Chrome equivalent of GreaseMonkey), but this defeats the purpose of switching to Chrome because I heard it has native GreaseMonkey support.

So, I'd add "install TamperMonkey on Chrome or GreaseMonkey on FireFox" to the instructions.

You can always install firefox (try "firefox portable" because it has no install footprint) alongside Chrome to try both out.
EditEdit:Also, to help anyone who might not be sure if the code is working, here is an XKCD image (nothing squeamish, don't worry.) If the code is working and you haven't changed the keywords, it should show kittens, rainbows, or a path to neverland.

RULES:
If you see someone spamming shock images, do not interact with them directly or even acknowledge their existence directly.  Add them to your ignore list, PM me and then go about your business.
Everything posted here is to be taken as a false alarm until the title is edited to include the name of the troll, or a first page post is edited to include a trolls username.
Your troll for today here is...

I'm so tired and zoned out that I saw his post and just thought "meh.."

I'm adding him to my ignore list nonetheless though

It also comes from how much length it adds to a page, that's really the most annoying thing about it.

Man it must be the thrill of this guy's life to waste seconds of other people's time every day.  What a mastermind.

Oh, here we go.
He's gone for another while now and most threads relating to it have been nuked.
For the record, I know that I overreacted a bit back there.
Come back next time for your troll news!

I strongly suspect SMF has an option to erase all of a user's posts and topics.

It would almost certainly have to, given how common this sort of thing is on internet forums.

I do hope to see that succession game/rtd in the future. I was all excited too.

Still, if nothing else comes from it, I got a spiffy new sig addition :D

Glad you like it. Aside from some sprites I drew just for the tower I actually put it together out of some sprites I drew for a game that never really went anywhere.

If anybody is interested I could post the sprite sheet later.
