I guess you could say it's kinda like what would happen if rodeo clowns inadvertently drew a crowd from a PETA convention.

Ha,Ha,Ha,  Great analogy!  PETA figured out the key is in the marketing and they came up with the best marketing scheme.  They attracted woman who like to get naked in public and dressed them up like various animals, put them in cages and get a ton of visibility and air time every time they appear.

Brilliant

Exactly,  you need to confront and discuss the isssues.  Dont try to silence other people.  It is ineffective and wrong.

I was asked to pick up after Mike left and take the pro-program position.  I am new at this so it will take me awhile to catch up.

Quote from: "Antigen"
There is no practical way to blacklist certain individuals or groups of them except to do it in reverse and allow posting only from a whitelist. That would mean that a person would have to be fairly surely identified in order to be allowed to post. That would put an end to a lot of the most vital information that has come only [through] Fornits and had made it the "must read" source for industry information prior to the onslaught of cyberbullying and trolling by Sue Scheff, The Whooter et al.

Some of that info has directly sprung real live individual kids from incarceration, some has helped tha jabberwocks to build cases in the legal arena and journalists to cover stories in the Vth estate.

The only way to effectively delete whospam would be to do what Lon Woodburry has done with Struggling Turkeys in order to prevent the turkeys from seeing shit he doesn't want them seeing. Otherwise, the whospam just mutates into reposting by various means and also the conversation being dominated by bitching and griping and bellyaching over the fact that some shit is being deleted and who's making the decisions and why not delete the anon shit too and so on and so on and so on.

We've been down this road before. I wish people could get it through their heads that I do not posess the power to create a forum that is both open to anonymous communication about important shit AND to selectively screen said communication for shit that we don't like. It's not that I wouldn't if I could, it's that it cannot be done.

Now grow the fuck up and deal with it, please? (that's to those among yenz with whom I've had this conversation about a million times)

he'll just register another account or start harrassing people as a guest. Don't waste your hard earned money unless there is a  guarantee that he won't ever come back!

Ginger you don't have to censor the guy, everyone understands the free speech issue.  You do have control over who advertises on your forum.  TheWho is engaging in commercial activity.  You could surreptitiously track down who or what he is and determine if he's doing business here.

A lot of talk, maybe...but no action that I can recall. In other words, yeah, the subject has come up before but did anyone ever actually try it, or are we just schmeckulating here? I guarantee TheWho would give up if his posts started disappearing at random. And hell, even if he didn't, IT WOULD SURE BE A LOT OF FUN witnessing the mayhem.  ;D

Yep.  That's the part I don't think most people are getting.  There is no way to effectively ban him and I really don't think Ginger or anyone else wants to spend their time digging through threads to delete his posts.  After all these years of getting his ass handed to him it's pretty clear who and what he is to anyone who even reads just a little of what he posts.  Especially recently with Ursus, Psy and a few anons that have just PWND him so completely.  And succinctly.  They manage to point out his absurdities without going too personal.  They've been short and to the point in not getting distracted by the need to win the pissing contest.

What's that saying Ginger's so fond of?  The net views censorship as [something] and routes around it.
