Issues with 2 posters

There are two posters who continually post things that are off-topic and nonsensical. I understand if it's done once in a while, but it's done all the time. And it's hard to read through the forums when these two posters continue to hijack threads about the same nonsensical things. Normally I wouldn't make a big deal about it but there has to be something that can be done about this. i will not reveal these two poster's names because it wouldn't be fair to call them out like that but would be interested in what a mod or admin would have to say about this. constant hijacking and posting meaningless can hurt the community here by dissuading members from posting or from leaving threads which seem like good topics to participate in. i know i'm not the only one who feel this way about these two as other posters have also shown discontent in their posts in some threads. most just never respond to them after these two poster have hijacked the thread. this is getting quite frustrating.

Please use the "Report Problem Post" feature so that members of the Moderating Team can check out some of the posts to which you refer. If they are in violation of the Terms of Service the posters may be issued warnings or even lose their posting privileges.

Moderators can not read every thread, so we do rely on our members to report problems.

Thanks,
Mod JEM

I have a feeling that even not mentioning names it isn't much of a secret...

It's also not allowed by our TOS to call out members in public, even if they appear to be trolls. Please just report the post(s) in question, and in the form provide any background info that might be helpful in evaluating the situation. Thanks.
