Maybe there should be a Trooper thread so all of his stalkers can go post there.
And now we've come full circle. As most are aware, there was a Trooper-specific thread, but the stalkers and comments became so vile that it was ultimately closed by TPTB. Ironically, this thread was created as a place to discuss all other vloggers and it was decreed to be "Trooper-free" under penalty of receiving the ban hammer if you discussed Trooper. That lasted exactly 10 days because the stalkers and haters whined so much about not being able to discuss Trooper in this thread, that R*R decided to open it to Trooper-related comments as well.

I just made this post in the ATF thead:
I have discussed this with Gobbo. We both agree to give the "Trooper" posting another chance.
I think Gobbo made the right decision to close the original thread. It was getting terrible. The closing has also resulted in some good discussion in this thread. I think we can handle Trooper stuff in the new thread but the old thread is going to stay closed.
So here is what is going to happen.
Trooper97 vlogs, discussions etc. will be allowed to continue in the new thread. That thread will not be unchained and I will work with the other LVL mods to keep it civil.
I personally am not going to allow a lot of the horrible posting that went on in the original thread to take place and I will be very generous with post deletions and bans if needed.
I am going to undelete all the Trooper related posts that I have deleted to date in this thread and remove any infractions issued that resulted from those posts.
Have fun!
I warned at the time that doing so would just result in this thread becoming another Trooper hate-fest and for the most part, that is exactly what has transpired over the past year and a half. It would be great if you and the other mods got together and once again decreed this to be a Trooper-free zone so that it could be devoted to the true poker vloggers and those who want to comment on them. Then, as you suggested above, create a separate thread for Trooper's "lifestyle" vlog and let all of his stalkers post over there to their heart's content.
