Troll Alert System Unveiled

CHARLESTON (CNN) -- Forum Security Chief Aethelred on Thursday unveiled a new color-coded Forum threat advisory system to create "a forumwide framework and a common vocabulary" so that adminstrators and private posters can deal effectively and efficiently with threats of troll attack.
"Today we announce the Forum Security Advisory system," Aethelred told a gathering of forum officials and forum rule enforcement representatives.
The warning system has five levels starting with green, the lowest alert level, followed by blue, then yellow, orange and red, the highest state of alert. Each code will trigger specific actions by forum agencies and Lightside and Darkside posters.
"For every level of threat there will be a level of preparedness," Aethelred said. "It is a system that is equal to the threat."
Aethelred said the forums currently are on yellow alert due in part to the large number of new members seen on the Darkside.
"The fforum currently stands on the yellow condition, an elevated risk," he said. "Chances are we will not be able to lower the condition to green until, as the Carol said yesterday, the troll networks of global reach have been defeated and dismantled."
Officials said posters will not always be informed when the threat level changes. One official said a high threat level could at times have a deterrent effect on trolls. In other instances, the official said, making a threat level public could tip off trolls that they are under surveillance.
Aethelred said last week that the plan will be forum specific whenever possible.

(That's what Jack Beymer calls any really pretty coin....."cute"! Come to thing about it, he's kind of a cute guy. You would have to know
him to say that, especially if you are not gay, which neither of us are. His wife is a real nice match to him.....and in unambiguous words,
they're both kinda lovable.)

I have proposed a 39 million budget to CU which will help me keep this updated and help defray development costs.

Are you sure that's going to be enough?Seems rather small. Perhaps we should increase that to 78 million just to be on the safe side.
