Bigloader/Renob/ect. types should be banned on sight. They pollute every thread with idiocy, vulgarity and (most recently) feigned ignorance. They are here for nothing more than to try and get a rise out of us, and I cant see why they can get away with it for so long before getting banned.
Some quotes that I find particularly pertinent...I should hope that there's no need to cite the source:
It's all well and good to type that out, but actually enforcing it is another matter entirely. As Ive said in another thread, these guys are easy to spot and their intentions are obvious...how hard can it possibly be to enforce that last rule: Warn 'em and ban 'em. Problem solved. Instead they end up getting hundreds of posts out before any noticable action is taken.
The "It Stops Now" policy is, in my opinion, the ideal way to run this place. The moderators simply need to abide by it and enfore it more stirictly.

I agree with what you've said...However...If you ban someone too soon, there is usually an uproar of people saying things like, "But, what did he do?"...Or the banned person comes back with, "I wasn't doing anything wrong THAT time"...Or we have people who say, "He wasn't THAT bad, what's the big deal?"...It almost seems as though we have to let it get irritating ENOUGH so that everyone is in agreement and can clearly see the necessity...
This place is a democracy...The wishes of the MAJORITY is what matters...NOT what a couple of mods think...That's why I ask you guys questions like this
Also, bear in mind...When someone IS banned, they just come right back...You guys think, "Well, it's a hassle for them, so they'll just stop if they get banned a few times"...Here's what you guys fail to understand:
1) These people obviously have nothing better to do and no life
2) If hanging out at a forum pissing people off all day is not a 'hassle', neither is creating a new SN and doing it again and again
3) Their intention is most likely to get ENOUGH of a rise out of people to get banned, so when they DO get banned, they get a kick out of it...Hard to imagine that someone's INTENTION is to get banned?...I've had people BEG me to ban them...SFF bragged about the fact that she had been banned from LOTS of forums, and Bane has said that he has been banned from EVERY forum that he has been to
4) When they ARE banned...They come back...Often with a vengeance...Compounding the problem in triplicate
5) Banning is not a deterrent here...Nothing is...We CAN ban them over and over again...But, often get shit for it...Which is why I ask if it's possible that some of you guys actually don't mind it so much
As for Bane...At least he kept HIS shit in only one or two of his own threads...
