What's going on at User talk:Humorideas?

Hey, I see that there's an IP user 198.105.118.28 causing trouble on User talk:Humorideas. He seems to be blocked already, yet he continues to try to post shock images on this particular talk page. What's going on? --Delta1989 (talk) (contributions) 14:45, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Feeding the trolls

This is unhelpful. Please just report at WP:AIV. No warnings are necessary for obvious block evasion, let alone one that is likely to encourage continued trolling. ~ Rob13Talk 15:15, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

BU Rob13 I keep that template around but use it sparingly, it's mean to be a humourous way to encourage legitimate posting. I don't see that as feeding the trolls, if it were insulting are outright saying something like "Anything's possible if you stop trolling.... " that would be feeding.

It's more the whole responding at all, really, although I also find the template a bit over-the-top personally. I'd have no objection using that template in a "trouting" type way with a good-faith user, certainly, but this is someone seeking a reaction. It's counter-productive to give them any. ~ Rob13Talk 15:21, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
No problem. I'll use that template the way you described and not use it on suspected trolls. KoshVorlon 15:24, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
