Any Tips On Circumventing Trolldar?

Hi, I'm being stalked on DL and I want to know if anyone has a sure-fire way to circumvent trolldar. I had been using a method I thought worked, I'd switch to another browser. That way I didn't have to delete my cookies and lose all my watched threads, at least on the 1st browser. The 2nd browser would start making a new list of watched threads, which I could transfer back to the 1st browser if needed. When I trolldar myself from the 2nd browser, the posts I made on the 1st browser don't show up for me, but they might be showing up for my stalker. And therefore they might show up for everyone else, meaning the browser switching method doesn't work, it only seems to for the person doing it.

There is a way I could delete cookies, and then manually reconstruct the watched thread list. And I wouldn't mind doing it, but now I'm paranoid it isn't enough, that trolldar does use your ISP number after all. What really pisses me off is the stalker seems to know how to circumvent trolldar. So any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Relax, it's just a message board. You sound like a paranoid loony.

Freeperina has been tagged all over DL this evening. Jumps from one thread to another and has been identified and thrashed with its bullshit. Claims to be from the Bay Area of SF and sees Romney stickers and signs all over.

I just offended a fanboi who became a stalker and wanted to make sure I could ditch him. You couldn't really conceive of any other reason someone would want to stop circumvent trolldar than they're being a freeper? And I'm supposed to be the paranoid one?

No,the OP is not the Challah baker and also is not our own in house conservative with unfortunate alliances.

OP, the only way I can imagine you could get around trolldar (and this would only work as long as you have a dynamic IP rather than a static IP) would be to turn off your modem for 30 seconds and get a new IP address. But I hear DL is constantly changing the way they track things so they may be using more than your IP address to track you. Are you a registered DL'er posting anonymously? If so they may be using your registration info also, who knows. But I think a good first try would be to get a new IP address (if you can) and delete your DL cookies and see if that does the trick. If it doesn't then they're obviously using more into for tracking.

My apologies OP. I jumped to conclusions I shouldn't have. Sorry for the accusation.

Same here. Don't think it is a banning. Just DL fucking with its readers.

I'd just as soon let it go.

You're coming across as being rather :crazy paranoid :crazy and so maybe take some time to reflect on things for a bit and go on a Datalounge break.

No one is stalking you on an anonymous message-board which is on primetime all the live long day to non paying folks and such. That is kinda silly.

I had a stalker on DL for awhile. I was the "North of Sunset, Beverly Hills, Centre of the Universe" troll and it infuriated someone. Apparently, NYC is the Centre of the Universe and he or she was having none of it. The more he was agitated, the more I did it. :rofl

Simple mind, simple pleasures, I always say.

Well that's just some good fun, right there. :rofl

Did y'all have any fights about the theatre? NYC kinda has you beat on that end. :lol

Verified. The Reagan fangirl/ freeper troll is definitely the challah baker.

Have at it!

You've been banned. I only get Prime Time sporadically, but can otherwise post most of the time. Of course, it makes absolutely no sense when "Prime Time" occurs, as it often pops up at times people are least likely to be using the board.

Is the cunt who posted a string of posts and finally said "facts to you people are like garlic to vampires?" I F&F'd everyone of her posts, for whatever that's worth.

For the first time in ages, DL says that it's "closed for database maintenance. please check back later".

Why not just post the usual false PT notice, since they haven't cared about its inaccuracy for years now? Wonder how long this will last, & what kind of "database maintenance" is being performed.

It's working for me now. That was some short database management.

Why yes it is! And without PT for the first time all day. Such an odd way to do business....

I don't think getting random PT is being banned, at least not anymore. I get PT about 50% of the time I check in, which is literally 3-4 times a year nowadays. That started back in 2010 for me, and no, I hadn't been trolling or doing anything wrong. At first I thought my IP is similar to some troll, but it's hardly likely that some troll from my IP has been screwing with DL for over two years now. I think it's either a glitch or they randomly block IPs to try to coerce money out of people.
