I really didn't want to have to do this but he would not listen to specific requests to desist and obey the rules.

In any case you can go back to your SE:IV postings .

Thank you....I finally wanted to speak up as a 'lurker' who just didn't understand him/or his postings....I just found it very odd that he started out as a good poster, had alot to offer the game (maps, long game Posts etc.) then he all of a sudden developed a 'second personality' that spouted off wierd/off kilter stuff...Don't know if he was trying to develop an Online persona or what...but it was just not appropriate here.....I just didn't want to get involved, it wasn't my place...but again thank you, off topic Posts/trains of thought are fine but there has to be a limit...I wouldn't want some nameless joe posting how he did his laundry/events of his favorite soap etc...On a Last note they are also cracking down on the DC comics message Boards, closing threads right/left and centre. If you post something offtopic/fanfic, its gone within minutes...We have freedom of a sort here, lets not abuse it, it only takes one person to spoil the whole thing (which hopefully LCC didn't....)

Good job. It's my experience that those type of people like to re-register and continue to pester / cause trouble...

If it is blocked by IP, like I can do in my forums, then they can keep them out for a good long time.

unless he uses dialup. or has multiple ip's. or calls his isp to change his address assignment. probably not worth the wory unless another problem crops up.

They can also block his IP range.

First we deleted his account, next we disabled his email from being used to register a new account. Yes he can get around that but we'll deal with that as we come to it.

No banning by IP would be insane .

Nothing elaborate, nothing sophisticated. Just a simple "Thank you, Richard".
