Ancient charts often bore the warning "Hic Sunt Dracones" (Here Be Dragons). Users of this forum are cautioned Hic Sunt Trollanes (Here Be Trolls).
TIGHAR welcomes reasoned debate and fact-based criticism but it is a sad fact of life that popular forums like this one inevitably attract a few individuals who get their kicks by being disruptive - arguing absurd points of evidence just to clutter the discussion or sow dissension. Trolls, when unmasked and banned, often return under aliases and will even masquerade under multiple names and engage in conversations with themselves so as to create the impression of consensus on some ridiculous allegation or criticism.
In the past, TIGHAR has largely ignored trolls who return under false names, allowing them to think their game is undiscovered and banning them only when they revert to their old ways - but no more. Our time, and your time, is too valuable to waste. Henceforth, trolls will be banned without warning as soon as they are discovered.
