As always, with trolls, just ignore him. You've tried to help him and he obviously enjoys baiting people, so just ignore his drivel. In the end, he'll give up.

Certainly! I started ignoring him after just having one interaction with him. However, he's continuing to post his drivel in the lounge, and someone or the other is going to pick a fight with him which could lead to flamewars.
He could listen when suggested politely about the site etiquette and behaving properly here, but he just won't listen. Either ways, almost everything that he's posted is drivel.
I thought I'd notify Chris.

That's fair enough, but I suspect we all know what answer Chris will give.

Abusive posts are getting 'remove' and the other stupid and purile ones receive a 1.

He posts lots of messages, and they're all mostly txtspk, and some are abusive. I'll be spending a lot of time if I had to click the abusive button on that many number of posts.

He has alrady gone[^].
May have been slightly harsh, if he was using a mobile, perhaps a stern reminder of the expected etiquette would have sufficed?

Well, he was offered polite reminders of the expected etiquette, but he came back with abuse. And then more abuse, and some more. And then the low votes.
I'm positive he wasn't using a mobile (I could as well be wrong), but in any case that wouldn't be an excuse to be abusive. Having read his posts, I'd assume that he came back with an abusive reply to a moderator who gave him a 'stern' reminder of the etiquettes.
The established fact is that the hamsters are quite ruthless towards trolls.

Ok. I must admit I didn't read many of his posts and the ones I did see were txt speak. He mentioned in GIT that he was using a mobile.
But as you say he was warned and abusive so good riddance.

i noticed while surfing CP on my mobile last night, that the votes in messages only show the total vote score and note the number of votes, e.g. 5.00/5
Can you please add number of votes after, e.g. 5.00/5 (x Votes), there is plenty room given the layout you are using and the messages just don't look right without it.
Thanks.

I have a feeling this has brought up before, but here goes:
Maybe it's just me, but I find it really irritating when forum questions are in bold red, due to a single vote of 5 usually (if not all of the time, I am quite sure) becaseu the OP has signed in again with a second account and "voted" themselves up this way. Personally I refuse to answer any such questions just because of that. It's... cheap, tacky, dishonest and distasteful. And probably a few other things too.
If it was down to me, I'd disable voting on questions, and thus restrict voting to answers only.
(Then again, I suppose it helps highlight which users are cheap, tacky, dishonest and distasteful, so maybe keep it after all! )

Occasionally a question is asked which is so mind boggling and the OP has obviously put so much effort in that it would be churlish not to recognise the brilliance of the question. While these are few and far between, they do sometimes happen and I, for one, like to let the OP know that they have taken all the right steps so far.

So it takes authority to rightfully up/down-vote a question? Maybe the availability of question voting tools should be linked to rep color then.

I don't think so. It should take a bit of common sense which is, sadly, not very common.

common sense isn't measured at the moment. it probably takes a delicate instrument.

I think voting on the questions should have one option - Bad Question. If it's not a bad question, the user simply doesn't click the (only available voting) button.

Sadly, mine doesn't. "Vigilance, vigilance, vigilance" is my motto for CP now.

That's not my motto - that's my mission statement. That's the one that leads to the lack of vision statement.
