This is a sports fan forum. Particularly UTEP Sports. Designed to inform, delight, encourage, update, inspire, promote, support, cheer, advance, enthuse, motivate and basically to commune with Miner FANS.
Trolls post on here to do the opposite. Think about it. Even though they mask themselves as FANS, the average reader can spot them after a couple of posts. Yes, some of us can hit them with the ignore button but when the rest of us engage them and allow them to hijack a thread it's a losing battle. Also new-comers that visit (including recruits and their parents) can't separate these socially challenged losers from the rest of the board and get a horrible false impression of the fanbase. The moderators here can't or won't address this very real problem making it difficult for people to participate and enjoy this important forum.
That said, I'm respectfully requesting that everyone here hit the REPORT button and type in OBVIOUS TROLL whenever a poster becomes a known Troll and posts for the sole purpose of being a provocateur.
