I don't feel like spending a lot of time in this but I agree to a certain degree. He needs to be banned from PT. Not TD.

He's an incredibly effective troll. I'll give him that. Obviously, he's fooled Fred. He says things that are calculated to get off topic responses and to watch the board burn, while at the same time not being over the top inflammatory.

It's constant. Sometimes it is subtle, sometimes it's not. He's great at it.

The gifs were decided to be a response to him every time he posts. It's childish, but it's 2 years of frustration over his constant unchecked bullshite.

There are plenty of other team posters that are fine and don't elicit that response. RTR, primeTime etc. They are fine.

There's a reason why Boom is universally hated and it's not because he's a rockets fan.

Imagine if a poster was a Falcons fan. He's a total dick, and constantly posts belittling things about the Saints, constantly trolls and derails topics, and turns innocent threads into Falcons threads.

It wouldn't be tolerated.

You can't look at Boom's post over a day period of posting and identify he's trolling.. it's a long drawn out thing.

He derails a lot of threads for the sake of derailing them. Posters that flame back are derailing for the sake of trolling him..it's different.

He's a problem

Boom def trolls, but the same idiots fall for it every time.

no one really in this thread. 2nd tier posters like the fearthehat, CP25LSU, danman36, quail man just fuel his fire. they bite way too easily

naw, i just meant there are several 1st tier Peli-talk posters in this thread. I didnt want to lump them together. They at least know when to say when, and recognize what is going on

Someone who knows boom irl tells me that he is a bit of a dick and enjoys the attention he gets on PT. Not a big surprise.

t's a tricky situation, chick.

Boom can discuss hoops with Pels fans sometimes. But there are a lot of posters on Pels Talk who don't recognize a troll attempt, so they will take the bait and thread will go 6 pages of dumb back and forth.

Personally, I can read over his stuff. But when a decent thread gets derailed on page 2 from boom vs the Pels fans, then that's all she wrote. And now, we got pages full of gifs responding to him on on top of the back and forth about lord knows what. It's just getting worse and worse.

He thinks he's the end all be all when it comes to basketball knowledge and discussion. He comes to the board with his condescending ways never to have actual discussion but to just see how much of a ruckus he can create

Not to mention the obvious of basically daring an admin to ban him in that thread like somebody stated earlier in this thread

Interestingly, he is not as knowledgeable as most of the good posters on that board.

Ok I am not a fan of Basketball and when I go to the Pels talk to check the Ra's I see that Boom has been Ra'd. I read what he posted and it seems like a valid discussion. I check to see who Ra'ed the post to find that the poster who RA'ed boom has then posted the same gif in said thread more than 10 times. Hmm who derailed the thread? I check and find that this same poster has also made numerous Ra's for what seems like worthless crap and no else has. It appears to me as a Boom is possibly a fan of another team and is posting on Pels talk and not many Ra his posts. Is this the case?


The damn gifs prompted this thread it's officially out of hand.

i kinda figured awhile back that whoever patrols the board isn't a huge Bball guy. Boom operates under a slick guise and his attempts to troll are usually always veiled. He's def one of the best. It would be a tedious job deciphering what's legit vs what's BS

I think RAing would be useless. By that time, the threads are dead by the time you guys could do anything

Just my two cents, but continuos trolling, no matter how well done or "skillful", is evidence of a little mind and a pretty stupid past time. Get the frick off my lawn, too.

Yeah, Boom has been trolling and derailing threads on PT for as long as I've been around. The fact that he has not been dealt with by now speaks to the fact that the board is not properly moderated, and I'm sure the mods would agree that none of them actually regularly visit the board. The solution here to me, as others have already suggested, is to make a trusted regular board member moderator over PT. TigerInATL immediately comes to mind, he is probably one of the most quality posters across the entire site.

Also as a frequent PT contributor and Tier 1.5 poster I'm gonna have to say I am pro-Boom and against banning him from the board

PT is a notoriously slow and humorless board, and Boom makes things interesting. Yea he's annoying, but he's smart and frankly backs his shite up with facts and good arguments. I appreciate that kind of thing when I'm arguing against random people on the internet.

Maybe tell him to stop turning every goddamn thread into a Rockets pissing match, but beyond that let him do what he does. it's good for the board.
