Why is he a problem? Because he stood up against a few ppl on here that are the main issue?
No, because he posted about 80 threads last night, most of which were deleted prior to this morning, and the rest of which were deleted when I found out who was doing it.
Have you looked into your own moderators?? Their backgrounds and things they present themselves in? Your own moderators tell ppl FY amd disrepct other so heinously it blows ppl's mind.
Disrespect is not the issue here. The issue is posting so much in such a short span of time that nobody else can read the forum effectively.
Let me Illustrate:
Before we disallowed guest posting, this particular user who you know as Randy Jackson was posting hundreds of posts a day (look at the time stamps of those guest posts):

Each of those posts contained something like the following:
[attachment=0:33fpf54n]Picture 651.png[/attachment:33fpf54n]
That's the tamer end of what he did. He was asked repeatedly to stop and was warned that he would be banned if he did not. He did not stop. It was clear his intention was to disrupt the forum and make it hard for others to read at any cost. For this, he was banned permanently. Just because he creates a new user-name and plays a slightly different type of game does not mean he is no longer banned. He, as a person, is banned permanently and when he shows up, his accounts and all postings will be deleted. It's not because of what views he expressed. It's because of what he did. I'm only sorry it took us so long to catch this particular instance.
This is why ppl are blowing up your site because of the double standard attitude. Got to admit Randy had a nasty mouth but you advertize free for all, therefore in my opinion you repressed someone freedom of thought.
When somebody posts 80 threads in a night the only thing that's being repressed is other people's ability to read the forum.
Do not dangle a carrot say this is for anything goes than get mad when ppl believe you.
It's anything goes in certain forums while other forums, such as the Elan forum, are moderated. That's the way it has always been (or at least as long as I can remember). However, in all forums, flooding is not and has never been acceptable.
