[QUOTE="Muddy7, post: 1078959, member: 24236"] Well, thinking about it since I just posted, there has been some terrible trolling activity in the past by posters from this Forum towards Webroot. For example on Wilders, several got banned for this (it's rare for Wilders to ever ban posters). Early on when I first registered here, I found that any positive post I made about Webroot got mercilessly trolled. Some of the language was pretty gross and I got pretty bruised. In fact, when I even raised the temperature a little bit in my posting, I was almost banned here although my language was (imo) much milder than some of the trolling I was receiving. Since then, the MalwareTips moderators have changed their tone somewhat and gave a subtle signal that trollers here should refrain from their trolling, and the message (fortunately) got through loud & clear. But yes, given this history, I can understand that the Webroot Forum managers might want to keep well away from anything to do with MalwareTips and MalwareTips users, preferring pre-emptive action to destructive trolling. Plus TripleHelix has some weight on the Webroot Forum and he got pretty badly trolled on this Forum, so he might have something to do with it (I'm not sure of that, it's only speculation, but if so I wouldn't blame him given the history).
