Attention: ALL *Posting Suggestion*

I noticed there are many vague fly-by questions without any follow-up post by the thread-starters.  While, I’m sure some of these posts are legit, I think some are from trolls.  I know the regulars (myself included) are all volunteering their time in giving back to the community.  I know we are all busy and answering posts take time and effort.  To ensure we spend time on legit posts and questions, prior to answering vague posts, I suggest the regulars direct new members to our HepB Introduction & Welcome Page at:

http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Hepatitis/HepB-Introduction--Welcome-Page/show/34?cid=153

After reading our Health Page, the thread-starting member to clarify his or her situation with additional background information and labs, which could stay anonymous.  The poster’s follow-up post could indicate if it’s a genuine one.  And the poster would get more comprehensive feedback comment from the regulars this way.

Please feel free to share your thoughts on this.

No not daft at all.
Good question Brit, often wondered it myself.

Bottom line is, trolls try to get attention here from time to time. Not to worry, some here at medhelp are good at spotting them. Most medhelp trolls seem to have a distinct repetitive OCD style/mo.
Kind of feel bad for them, because they do have a medical problem, and its not usually the disease they are trolling about.

Am I being daft here or what?? What is the purpose of this 'trolling'? Why would anyone want to go on a forum about an illness and pretend to have it themselves? By the way apache, it ain't gonna be kids doing the trolling coz they canny read or write...well not in UK anyway lol.

But seriously to all you 'trollers' out there if you really have all that spare time, why not go out and help old folks across the road or collect for a charity??

Hmmm.
I agree

In fact one particular troll ocd poster has posted in the hcv forum for months now, and on many other medhelp forums, with numerous names.
But we now can spot his style and MO. We roast him right away now so he has gone away from the HCV forum. He is probably just a kid and thinks he found a new home here in the HBV forum....not !
I believe he has been posting here also in the last few days. You all know who I mean.
