Yeah, they login using invisible mode. They make nasty remarks and leave. I call it a hit and run troll. Then when members reply to them (in a manner they don't like), they play the victim card.



Ever met a hit and run troll?
 
I had a few people sign up, post inappropriate content and then never log in again. Though it might have been the same person using multiple e-mail addresses. Who knows. It's so annoying.
 
To be totally honest, in all my years of trying to run a forum, I don''t think I've ever run into something like this. Hopefully I never will either!
 
I have seen people like this, they log in, post a bunch of crap and log out real quick. They think they're slick browsing as a guest to appear like they're not there to watch out for responses, but they have the same IP address!
:evillaugh:
 
Plenty of 'em, unfortunately when I've just been a registered member on a site. Best thing to do? Report them and wait for their ban (unless the admins are idiots and don't deal with it).
 
I have done something similar to this once before. I posted up a whole bunch of porn on a forum I hated and knew the owner had no brain.... Turns out I was right. I later found out he put the topics in a secret area and I do not wish to know what happened to them after that.
