The NYPD "THEE RANT" was taken over by a TROLL. "Polecat" who started that Rant many years ago is MIA. A sad day for many of the Rant posters.

Yep, it's a mess over there. The members are signing up at a new forum that was set up for them. This meltdown was just a matter of time when the administrator disappeared. The final straw was when Yuku, the company that provides the site, was taken over by Tap Talk. They changed the whole layout and allowed open enrollment. The troll got in at that point and there's no admin to ban him; pretty sad.

For anyone who is tempted to sign up for the new NYPD Rant, be careful. It's a Proboard Forum and doing so can screw up your membership here.

They have a new mod- WasInTheBag... says things will be like before but trolls will be banned in short order... for any of you interested.

The troll that invaded Thee Rant for some unknown reason has it in for them, and will get onto their new Rant using various ways and attempt to destroy it again. You need more than one moderator to almost be online constantly monitoring the posts, plus have the power to ban the trolls IP numbers which usually only Administrators have.

I see that they have a few dedicated members over there who are offering to help out. Perhaps they'll pull it off but it won't be easy learning from scratch. The troll seems to have been stopped...for now.

I don't know where you heard that wiz but ProBoards makes it easy to join another ProBoards forum. You can even use the same password on multiple forums if you want. |

That's from personal experience Red. I tried to sign up and my PDCN Rant password got all screwed up. I tried to straighten out the LE Rant account but I gave up after about an hour. Fortunately I was finally able to get my PDCN Rant account straightened out. It's just not worth it for me. I'll read it occasionally but I really don't have a need to post. |
