Are the Iphones/androids a problem on the TF internet?

Are the Iphones/androids/data phones-pads/etc... a problem on the TF internet message boards?

Before these devices,I mentioned above,It was a lot easier for the board owners/mods/admins to control & ban all the TF fans they deemed as trolls. it was easier to control & ban these TF fans/trolls due to the mods/admins/board owners knowing the TF trolls user IP addresses.

Now with the introduction of all these data phones/pads,it seems like all the banned TF trolls have returned to various TF message boards to troll even harder & ruin everything.

For those un-aware,most data phones/pads like the iphones/androids/pads/etc.. have built in software that scrambles the users IP address & makes the user invisble on the internet.

I am pretty sure Jedi,the board owner here,is having problems with the data phones/pads & trying to keep track of various newbies who join here for the sole purpose of trolling or spamming the boards.

I've vistited various TF moderated & un-moderated message boards & it just seems like the trolls are running the place. every day/year their are more trolls that ruin stuff. these days it seems their are more trolls than non-trolls on all the TF internet message boards.

Thankfully,the TFViews message board doesn't appear to have any trolls. Most likely due to it's low volume new post & low voume of members count,trolls don't deem it worthy to troll this place. trolls needs a decent sized pond & attention & this place doesn't give it to them. everyone here seems to get along & knows how to treat everyone with respect. their doesn't appear to be any members here creating multiple fake user names here to troll & ruin stuff here.

As most know or may not know. Alt.toys.transformers,the very first TF message board run on usenet/google software is a LOST CAUSE & FULL OF TROLLS. due to usenet/google being on such oudated software,it is super easy for trolls to hack into,create fake user names & mask their ip adresses. since google/usenet boards rarely have moderation it's a troll's paradise where they run around like king trolls creating havok & disaster in a un-controlled enviornment.

I made a huge mistake Two months ago by joining the Bottalk message forum. Their was this one member their named "Labarith" that was one of those master/annoying trolls. most members their were also trolls with multiple fake user names. I suspected that Renaud was in on the trolling & had fake user names he used to troll his own board. I wound up leaving the board.

These days,I am not active on the TF message boards. I just refuse to waste my valuable time playing with the trolls. TFViews is the only TF message board I post a handful of threads/replies per year.

The main reason I posted on all those TF message boards,was because I had a few ideas,I figured Hasbro/Takara could read. BUT HONESTLY I THINK HASBRO/TAKARA HATES THE INTERNET TF FANS & ALL THEIR ELITE MESSAGE BOARDS. WITH ALL THE TROLLS,TROLLING HARD,I THINK HASBRO/TAKARA NOW STAYS AWAY FROM ALL THE TF MESSAGE BOARDS. IT SEEMS LIKE THE ANGRY MEAN SPIRITED TROLLS OUT NUMBER THE POLITE TF MEMBERS ON ALL THOSE TF MODERATED MESSAGE BOARDS. HASBRO ISN'T GOING TO SHIFT THRU THE THOUSANDS OF TROLLS TO READ THE NON-TROLL TF TOYS/MEDIA IDEAS,BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE TIME NOR MAN POWER NOR DESIRE TO DO SO.

What is really sad about these Internet TF fans who are obvious trolls. most of the trolls are in their late 20's,30's & 40's,yet they all act like kids in grammar school.

No problems that I've seen. We had 1 spammer the day before yesterday which I took care of, and I can't remember the last time we had trouble, but it's been months. Mobile devices are clumsy and slow to write long messages from, so there really isn't a lot of forums posting coming from them, the input limitations actually slow users down and cause them to think about what they're investing their time in posting (or rather, it causes them to simply not post at all because there's no reward). IP address tracking is not the only tool we forum owners have at our disposal.

Deathy is just paranoid, because there was a dude on ATT like a year ago who went around impersonating people and generally being a nuisance, and I guess he was using an iPhone or something, so now Deathy hates anybody who uses iPhones to browse the Internet or something.
