<\/p>\nTrolls used to live exclusively under bridges in fairy tales but have since gone on to accomplish great things in the 21st century by establishing a noticeable presence on the world wide web.<\/p>\n
Of course, these \u201cgreat things\u201d are only great in the eyes of a select few.<\/p>\n
Trolls are not only a nuisance, but can be completely disruptive to otherwise worthwhile internet conversations. This is why RumbleTalk continues to work on features that help stop trolls from establishing a presence in your group chat.<\/p>\n
Our new feature allows RumbleTalk group chat administrators to view the IP addresses of any online participant.<\/p>\n
An IP address is the numeric code that identifies a specific computer or set of computers.<\/p>\n
When you are able to see the IP address of an unruly visitor of\u00a0your group chat, you can then use that IP address to ban the user.<\/p>\n
RumbleTalk group chat already has the ability to ban users by their IP address, but this feature is\u00a0limited to function only when a user is\u00a0currently logged in. The most adamant trolls can therefore log out to prevent being banned.<\/p>\n
Our new feature has been developed as the next\u00a0building block\u00a0in the infrastructure to allow group chat administrators to ban trolls by IP addresses.<\/p>\n
For now group chat administrators can view the IP address and in the near future administrators\u00a0will be able to ban the user even if they are not logged in.<\/p>\n
To view the IP address of an unruly user, simply hover over the Ban by IP button in the user\u2019s profile.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Group chat owners and administrators can use the Ban by IP button to ban that user immediately.<\/p>\n
While this feature is sure to stop a troll from logging in with that specific connection, it should be noted that the troll could use a different computer or mobile connection to log back in.<\/p>\n
Like I said before, trolls have become very good at their new occupation and we’re\u00a0continuing to work on more features to block them and enhance your RumbleTalk group chat experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
