Ridiculous posts.

Why not just ignore these silly messages?

There's always going to be a trouble-maker on forums who
has nothing better to do than post messages that upset
people.

As long as you reply, that just keeps it going and wastes
everybody's time.

We plan on rehauling the forums soon enough, and we
definitely appreciate your coming here but there is only so
much that we can do...unfortunately we do not have 24 hours
a day to sit around and watch the forums so we can delete
all of the silly posts that are unrelated or in violation
of our terms.

Thanks.

Has Sonic Foundry considered limiting posting to registered users ?

Since no decisions have been made I doubt that anyone at SF will
confirm or deny any plans or topics of discussion at this point (And
I really like my job so I'm gonna keep my mouth shut : P ). What I
will say is that there is a lot of very serious discussion going on
about how to handle the forums. They have some taleted and
intelligent people on the Web Team, I am sure that they will be
cooking up some right nice solutions for you. In the mean time, take
Kelly's advice and do not feed the trolls by replying to their
posts. Feeding the trolls only makes them stronger and bolder.

With that I will once again retreat to the QA cave and begin breaking
things. (o:
