Anons this site is plagued by a troll that uses the phrase kid in every post he makes.

He never creates any threads of any value and never posts any worthwhile comments on others threads.

All he does is call everyone 'kid'.

How do we rid the DIY of the Kid Troll?

Obviously by giving lots of attention to him.

Kid is not a phrase.

Kill all mods (meaning ban them from /diy/ )

He's been banned before but has a dynamic IP. I've been considering writing a Firefox extension that hides posts with the word "kid" used more than once.

>> No.161054

He's known 'round these parts as "Billy the Kid".

I reckon only a sharp-shootin' vigilante with a six-shooter and a taste for justice could take him out at this point.

Hey kids, why do you think its one person that says kid when its been proven that its multiple people on multiple boards that say kid?

Fixed that for you, kid.

Honestly though - who is getting trolled by the kid troll at this late date, kid? You'd think most of us would be immune to trolling after being here for so many long, bleak years, kid.

Oh wait - the only ones who mind be constantly called kids are the kids, kid.

Hey kid, I like your style. How about we kid around some and go back to my place, kid. Then, let's say we watch some kids on the discovery channel (that goat program is SO FUCKING CASH) kid? Then you wanna go and be a kid in the sandbox with me? We can build castles all day long with the other kids.

Man, I wish I was kids. I want to be all of the kids every single one. I'll start with you, kid. Here's lookin'.

I think Kid troll says it best when he says he hates 'winners'.

Freudian slip? Possibly. But by doing so he admits he is only here to be an asshole to anyone trying to accomplish anything.

Sure lets do away with all standards for DIY. Post all the filth you see on /b/. Traps, trannies, gore, people eating poop.

Yep. Post it all here.

OP again. No I wasn't trolling when I started this thread. DIY is arguably one of the better boards on 4 Chan.

It started off good and took a pretty quick nose dive. One of the reasons for that is shit posting. Although I do believe essentially in the freedom of expression that 4 Chan allows I think for DIY to remain worthwhile something needs to be done about obvious shit posters.

4 Chan already has /b/ as an outlet for anyone that wants to be as big a retard as they want. It would be nice if us adults could have a place to interact as well.

I have seen a lot of internet sites get wrecked with heavy handed mods. Obviously 4 Chan could never be accused of that.

Just a little moderation is all I am asking for.

/diy/ is new, no one is really sure what classifies as /diy/, the older boards are trying to pawn off the annoying questions on /diy/. We need a sticky up top about what's allowed and what's not allowed, and for things that don't apply to /diy/ what boards they should go to.

the list goes on and on. Everyone's been doing it.

And it is defined.

Origami-->/po/
Painting and drawing goes to /ic/
Costumes go to whatever board that is.
Unless you're wondering about the specific dimensions or just showing off, animal enclosures go to /an/
Questions about preparing food go to /ck/
Questions about plants and farming should also go to /an/
Questions on how to build something, what material is best used, suggestions and comments on how something IS being built, showing off your /diy/ projects and the other topics that involve MAKING SOMETHING belong here.

> Questions on how to build something, what material is best used, suggestions and comments on how something IS being built, showing off your /diy/ projects and the other topics that involve MAKING SOMETHING belong here.

You make dresses, origami and costumes out of materials, even some of the heavier costume builds on /g/ would have been perfectly acceptable here, its just it didnt exist.

When people get bounced here form other boards, its usually because the members of that board do want to see OP get a more relevant answer, with the exception of /b/ and /k/ mainly.

The only people I would say are an actual distubing force on this board are the /k/ids, they seem to be here just to fuck up the new board. I still vote we just ignore it as much as possible and call out other board members on responding to them ("this kid guy has mental problems, whats your excuse for being a retard?"). Ban's are not practical, a wordfilter would prolly just create more angst, and these guys arent goign to go away till we stop feeding them.

TL;DR, everything was swimmy for a few months till people started feeding the trolls, suddenly they are everywhere. Just starve them back out.
