oops, he must spend a lot of time thinking up all these user names. Quite liked today's old skool Solvite idea.
I think the stage of people getting annoyed has been and gone quite some time ago, i think it's more PITY upon him now.
This is all really too bad. It's sad. I don't mean to be an ass about this (though I am quite good at it), but I want to make a point: It seems AD has become a lot more of a problem now compared to when he was just AD and people bothered by him could simply IGNORE him. This is the reason for tolerating the annoying rather than attempting something rather more drastic. And reading between the lines, I hope you can see me saying "Bring AD Back"...for tolerance reasons, and for pragmatic administrative reasons. On the other hand, make sure everyone understands the IGNORE function of this bulletin board, and encourage them to use it. Edit: All of this assumes that what has gone on outside the view of these boards is not terribly different from what we have seen, and that is something I cannot be sure of. He's a devious little critter, AD!
Fitz, the ignore featue is all well and good but it often distorts a thread and isn't a solution to AD playing up. Not everyone will put him on their ignore list whilst a newcomer could quite easily be put off by his posts.
he keeps coming back becuase he knows it anoys the feck out off you lot and your all falling into the trap.
Nobody gets annoyed anymore, we just pity him. Keep marching. Baaa That would defeat the point of having rules & regulations, if you get banned and just pester admin and then he caves in whats the point in mods/admin/banning in the 1st place ?
To delete offensive posts. Banning for a time period as a punishment, of course if you turn around and say hes banned for good hes gonna pee you off. I think its foolish to ban him, just some fools get wound up to easily on here, some people need to chill cos lifes to short.
The distortion of a thread missing an annoying poster is welcomed. It makes you feel like you have a force field on and that it's working. Highly recommended.
- That's sad then isn't it if he can't live without being able to come on a forum and act like an arse. - The majority wernt' wound up just tired of his pointless posts, he got warning after warning yet he still persisted in trying to wind people up so it's his own fault.
That's the most pathetic excuse for bad behaviour I've seen on here yet. Why should one selfish bore spoil the enjoyment of hundreds of others on here? There aren't many rules; all you have to do is avoid spamming and swearing and gratuitously offending people. If he finds that too difficult, as he clearly does, there aren't many places he would be welcome.
Your first point could apply to everyone, and is only your personal opinion. The fact you stated its sad to come on to a forum is insulting yourself and all of us/ People act differently on here, but we are all still on here, and use this board for different uses. Second point, I have seen different and i am sure many more have, people have been asking for him to be banned when he comes back on almost insantly. Its a fact people get angry, an example is the first post on this thread. Somethings triggered Admin to contact BT hasn't it.
Who said its an excuse? Its a fact! If you saw the first time he was banned, you didn't get half as much trouble, purely because he had a time scale, and knew he would be back.
