Odd habits of travelers

The post creator can edit his own post for about 2-4 hours after posting it. Then after that, only the board moderator can edit or delete that post. No other board member can edit, delete or vote away the existence of another member’s post. 

Not sure you understand what I meant. I posted a trip report and one of the older members voted it down. He didn't edit or delete it, just gave me a down vote, which I guess is equivalent to a "dislike". As a new member here, I really didn't know about any of the history but after reading through the threads, I see that this particular person seems to attack people who post trip reports and call them trolls, fakes, even claim that they are other people. He didn't vote away my post, he simply voted it down while other members liked it or thanked me for the report. One instance is not a big deal, but when there is a pattern of someone doing this, the moderators should step in since it really discourages participation of new members (which may be his intent). I now know that he is the troll and I've hidden him and will not interact with him.

So you’re salty that someone disliked your post?

That's IT?

I suggest you grow a spine if you’re going to post on the internet.

I don't have time for you. First you misread what I wrote and now you're going to come at me for it? Go find someone else to troll.,

So you just downvoted my post.

… which shows you obviously understand its intent.

And as you can see, the downvote has no power — other than to attempt to hurt someone else’s feelings. 

… yet, here you are, on your thid or fourth thread, kvetching about how some other poster downvoted your trip report.

A 1st time poster in the Colombia forum....legit or reincarnated 😏

In my case (as perhaps the "guy in Medellin" that you are referring to) - I will not get into the reasons why I am here, but it came up suddenly and it had nothing to do with sex tourism. In doing my "research" I came across this forum and I read as much as I could. The Colombia forum has a lot of posts about places other than Medellin and also way too much about Brazil (Medellin is not Brazil) so I thought the quickest way to get information would be to ask questions. It seems I've offended you, and I'm not sorry. Asking questions should not be something that one finds offensive

this looks oddly familiar ??

I didn't know it was a thing until it happened to me - for posting some tips for travelers, which I thought was being helpful. Not sure why your friend found the need to downvote it, but after saying I need to grow a spine, now you admit it is a hurtful thing to do. I'm shocked by the behavior of some of the older members here - calling people trolls for posting and asking questions, accusing people of being someone else, piling on new members because they do something that new members often do (like ask a question). You all should be ashamed of your behavior.

It's clear you don't understand what I'm trying to say. My point was that the one accusing other people of being trolls is the biggest troll here. I didn't know who he was and had no interactions with him until I posted my trip report and he downvoted it. I didn't care, but I was wondering why someone would do that. Then the more I read, I saw that he has a disturbing pattern of behavior which I would describe as delusional. He thinks multiple people are the same person. He follows and stalks people. He made someone post photos of his passport after calling him a liar and even that was not enough to satisfy him. He doesn't seem to add anything to any of the discussions - provides no helpful information, hasn't posted a trip report that I can tell, all he does is harass people. And it seems you've done some things as well. It's shameful that gay men act this way. I think the intent is to drive new people away and discourage them from participating. Not sure what you gain from this.

Made” him? Wow. He sure is powerful!

weird tho - this new troll seems to really be interested in a deleted account @richard265 , who was also posting stupid/generic stuff about Medellin a few weeks ago ?? that troll went down swinging in much the same way as this one 

same writing style, same insults, same being the victim > same troll 

IMO only, of course

There he goes again. Yes, I'm the same as the other person who was the same as the other person who was the same as the other person.. You truly are delusional. What drugs are you on? Maybe early onset dementia? Please get a psychological evaluation. You need help.

 

Well, Joizy, now you're acting like a troll.  If you're not, then put them on ignore and move on. It takes two to start a pissing match. You're just proving them right.

I find the obsession with finding reincarnations of previous posters beyond tedious. It's one of the things that made the other board so toxic. I wish the rest of you would stop, too.

I'd rather not put the lot of you on ignore, but seriously, how is this helping or informative to the rest of us? 

Internet watersports isn't my thing. It isn't most people's thing. If you all really are getting hard doing this, maybe take it to private messages?

The rest of us are capable of judging by the quality of contributions who is worth listening to and who isn't. If we aren't, no amount of advice is going to make a difference.

I'm happy to move on. Wish you'd stand up to SLVK and tell him to stop harassing members though. This entire thread is slander and delusional.

Shockingly, telling other people what to do in the internet rarely works. The best you can often do is let people know how what they're doing is being received.

I don't think he cares. Is there a way to completely block someone so that they can't read any of my posts? I've hidden him, but he looks for my posts now and is continuing his smear campaign against me. I think he needs a good fuck.

OR, you can just stop creating and posting under multiple usernames.

Dummy troll accuses @Slvkguyof obsessively looking for his posts. Dummy also declares he has put him in his Ignore list. However...

Dummy joined less than a week ago. After he shared that @Slvkguywas now in his ignored list, he has several times quoted posts of the allegedly ignored poster. In one of his serial dummy posts, Dummy even confessed that "now and then" he checks what slvkguy is posting.

So he has blocked a poster just a few days ago, and after blocking him just a few days ago he has already unblocked him several times to read the posts.

And yet he whines

Yes, I still get notifications when people I'm ignoring comment on my posts, and sorry, I am curious to see what crazy shit they are spewing. You're also one of the crazies, I see. You 're also pretty obsessed with me. If I bother you so much, why don't you put me on your ignore list?

Wow, Brainiac. My profile states that I’ve posting and contributing here under this same screen name since 2014. Yet, somehow, you have convinced yourself that I must be posting as @Slvkguybecause I agree with him on this topic. You figured me out, Genius! You cracked the code!
