Is there a way to motivate the hamsters to take action against this guy?

Do you guys track IPs at account creation? If so, perhaps the ip block which he is currently accessing from could be used to figure him out before he can be the pain in the arse that he is.

This is not a waterproof solution.
Many people have dynamic IP's (I do at home) meaning I get a new IP every 24 or 36 hours (can't remember exactly).
Further more you run the risk of banning a IP only to discover the offender took a new IP but a regular, behaving member got the banned IP and can no longer access the site (I know I know the chances of this happening are extremely low but still it could happen)

There is no waterproof solution, but it is probably the best one.
The ISP don't renew every nn.nnhours, IPs are recycled after a period of inactivity, and this period is determined by the ISP. The likelihood of two CPians getting the same IP in a shortish period of time is slim but, as you point, non-zero. The probability of two spammers getting the same IP is further reduced.

Not if the offender is behind a firewall, say from a large corp or a University.

 +  you are quite right!
It also seems, after a pretty much three year gap on WPF and one on an execrable Winforms app (which caused me to leave my last job) I've forgotten the whole of web dev too.

Without any proof I can also say viaducting is actual VJ_Frook. But because I am not sure, I won't give clueless statements like these.

Yes, you were and I think it was very unfortunate that he accused you of this without any evidence. I have replied to him and he has apologized. The troll's account has been disabled too, so hopefully it's all good now.

this post[^] appears right below this post[^] for me, and it is further right in the message "tree" despite not being a reply to that message.
My layout setting is on "normal".

Post, reply,..., reply then delete some messages in between.
Voila. A messed up layout.

Huh, I always thought those messages that had replies and that got deleted just said "Message Deleted" rather than disappearing.
|
|
|
|
|
So did I. I thought deleted messages only were disappeared if they had no replies.
Perhaps the order was...
0) Click reply, begin typing response
1) Message is deleted, has no replies so wiped entirely.
2) finish typing reply, click post
3) messed up tree.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

I'm pretty in sure that case it says "The message you are replying to doesn't exist" (or something like that).

VJ_Frook[^] has in one day managed to trollify the lounge. I'm sure given a few more hours he'll start hitting out in some other places.
Just saying, that's all.

i agree with this. i don't think he is someone new.
so taking action against that account will not mean that much.
might be an idea to check (if he has one) what his main account would be.

Indeed - I've tried countering his votes without responding to him (some people just can't help themselves), but his carpet bombing probably needs to be cleaned up.

To start, you don't know you're dealing with a troll. It's not until you hear their nuckles banging on the pavement. But you are right, I've stopped responding and am just hitting [remove] on any that are across the line by even a gnat's nadger. A baby gnat's nadger, that's feeling very cold.

He is also posting in the General Indian Forum, which coincidently is also experiencing a grey cloud of 1's at this time.

His other ID's can probably be identified by those up-voting his posts that were created after hist first post, and those should be eliminated as well.

Don't the hamsters keep a record of originating IPs for this very purpose?

Now why would you go ahead and give him it that idea....
