Hi All,

We have a banned account that has been causing trouble for some time. They continue to re-register. Usually within a few posts of the new account we see reported posts coming in due to this persons behavior. If you see any new accounts that appear problematic please do not hesitate to report them.

Thanks!
Sean

Thank you so much. You probably will never know how deeply I appreciate you vigilantly keep on top of such SPAMMERS.

LOL… what if we see any old accounts that seem problematic?

This is not about spammers, but troublemakers. (I actually missed that trouble.)

Spammers are an easy problem mostly solved by just reporting them. (Strange enough some members here consider such reporting as policing...)

I do not enjoy trouble makers any more than I would look forward to a heart attack, stroke, automobile accident, et al.

My point is that kicking out a member with many serious postings for making trouble is more delicate than kicking out a spammer for some nonsense or unrelated postings.

In this very case I would not even know who to look for.

I would not disagree with that. However that particular one and the dreaded two letter troll were excessively aggressive.

He's pretty basic, and easy to spot thankfully, no matter what his login name is.
