Bigotry on Comment Section

[Errol]

To Whom It May Concern:

Please be advised that we are aware of a troll posting on the main Soap Opera Network website who for the last couple of months has been utilizing the comment section to publish disgusting, vitriolic, bigoted and racial garbage under various articles.

Just know that you will be caught and you will be banned.

For anyone currently registered to the SON Community who is potentially involved in this, re-read the above line. 

Regardless of what opinion one might have of posters on the SON Community or even the administration itself, your desire to waste your time, energy, and life posing as someone with hate in your mind is a choice. 

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about. Don't worry about it. For those that do, you likely know the culprit. I don't mind if you rat them out. Better do it sooner rather than later because if several people are found to be connected to this issue, you will also be banned.

Thank you.

Wow. This is a new one on me.

[dragonflies]

Get 'em Errol!

[Maxim]

How disgusting! I hope they are found and publicly shamed and revealed! 

[Contessa Donatella]

Happy Hunting, @Errol and @Toups  !! Being banned couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

[Taoboi]

Well said!!

[Errol]

One major thing I forgot to mention is that the disparaging remarks are being made by someone posing as various user names/profiles associated with current posters of the SON Community.

While there is no current evidence or any belief that this situation involves any of those posters from the SON Community, it is clear that someone who either currently visits or has previously visited the SON Community is taking out their anger, frustration, and hate-filled mindset and placing it on the main Soap Opera Network website's comment section to cause division and discontent among posters.

Yikes! Thank you for the heads up.

[Liberty City]

SAME! Yikes. This is disgusting.

[titan1978]

That’s pretty disgusting. I hope they are easily dealt with.

[FrenchFan]

You mean someone is using our identity to say these awful things?

[Errol]

Correct.

[FrenchFan]

Oh wow okay. I'm so bad with informatics I can't even understand how that is possible.

Good luck with that Errol. We all appreciate your wonderful work.

Essentially, they are using variations of a select group of current SON Community members' display names and using the comment section on the website to post vile things about other posters they dislike, including Toups and me.

I don't care what people say about me, and I'm sure Toups doesn't care either, but it's troublesome that someone finds it worth their time to do something like this just because they have an apparent vendetta against people who post here. 

Note: To be clear, this individual(s) does not have access to any internal data (email address, etc) that would allow them to post as actual members of the SON Community.

[FrenchFan]

That's sad and childish. I mean, @Errol and @Toups you have been doing a wonderful job here for so many years ! I've been a member for 19 years... I don't understand how people can act like this, we all love soap operas, that's all that matters.
