Moderators, Time for the BanHammer

[Darkness]

Could someone post it up here for those with terminal curiosity? Some of us like to gawk at wrecks...

The spam? If so, I have to insist that people not repost that crap in EN World. There's a reason we delete spam, ya know.

If you really want to see it, though, you can e-mail me - I still have the reported post message. (All 14 of them, for that matter.)

We generally ban first and then start cleaning up, lest they start more threads while we're still cleaning up.

A good strategy, Darkness, as it is best to stop someone from making a mess then cleaning it up.

Fortunately, the moderators seldom have to ban any one. I think I can only recall two or three other bannings, off the top of my head. (One was for both a very offensive message and an offensive sig.) Perhaps one thing that all EN Worlders should remember that respect for each other and the rules helps keep this place one of the most civil message boards on the internet. (Mind you, some topics will bring out controversy. However, I think we can be mature enough to disagree without being insulting or offensive.)

To all the moderators: Keep up the good work.

Hi, William. This person they just banned never posted here before. The only posts to his/her credit were the spams.

Hi, Thalmin. That makes it even worse.

I think that respect is an important issue. Well, the spammer will not be missed.

Yah. Such spammers aren't uncommon. I banned 2-3 of them over the last few months and several more were banned by other mods/admins.

I'm sick of this, and I'm going to do something to piss these pukes off quite a bit - right now.

Ok, installed.

Note that it doesn't stop them - any measure that would stop them would have to affect new users as well - but it does make their efforts pointless.

You rock, Michael!
