It’s a typical trolling tactic - stirring things up just to hijack the conversation. When those posts pop up, the best thing to do is not to engage. Just downvote and maybe tag #mods (usually works) , let them handle it.
Posts mentioning hashtag #mods
Below are all the posts — topics as well as replies — that mention the hashtag #mods.
Mention #mods in your post to continue the discussion!
Hope this helps, from a previous discussion
Post and Reply IDs
- Every thread has a unique thread ID (example:
+1k3kRc0B2) - The Original Poster (OP) always shows as
@OP+threadID - Each reply gets its own post ID with a short prefix (example:
@az+1k3kRc0B2) - The suffix after the
+matches the thread ID, so all replies in a thread share it - You can reference someone by typing their Post ID (example:
@az+1k3kRc0B2or just@azif inside the same thread)
Formatting Basics
Use these symbols to format text:
*word* = bold
**word** = italic
`word` = code block
~~word~~ = strikethrough
> quote or indent
- bullet list
- numbered list
Four minus signs will draw a horizontal line like this:
Hashtags also work, example: #formatting or #markdown
