Moderation in all things is actually a pretty strict code to live by, because
it requires a deal of WILL POWER to force it on oneself, when giving in, going
along, "tolerating", is so much easier to do.

And to enforce "moderation" on others requires much more will. That's why
successful moderators aren't WIMPS.

To be as charitable as I can, perhaps you guys just can't grasp that saborion2
is NOTHING BUT A TROLL, don't believe that people are actually paid to disrupt
boards, or simply enjoy it, or are compulsive trolls, or any mix thereof.

The evidence in this particular case is overwhelming. You've MANY times noted
it, and the lack of positive points, except maybe for a little while after a
warning, to be "good" until you go back to sleep. Meanwhile, members suffer.

I've given his score thus far elsewhere, it's amazing because he's not even an
adequate troll, due to you moderators aren't even adequate WIMPS. You haven't
gotten the least apology or change in pattern. Add up all the time spent
warning and moving threads, besides whatever losses to the value of the forum,
MAN, you guys are just plain stupid. But you do EARN contempt from everyone;
it looks as though you want it.

I'm leaving SOLELY because of moderator inaction, WHEN MANY INCLUDING YOU ARE
ANNOYED. After definitely losing a member from trolling, plus more recent
complaints, you not only don't ban the obvious SOLE problem, but respond to
him as if he were reasonable, getting drivel back. "Engaging" this guy has
never gotten anything in return. Your stupidity approaches collaboration.

OS/2 forums seem to be targeted by remarkably persistent trolls. Isn't it odd
that the google OS/2 forum has an alleged "Mac convert" bombarding it? Plus an
"MI 5 victim", the curious point being why he chooses THAT forum.

From Ian Fleming: "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, third time is
enemy action."

But you don't have to be paranoid to simply get rid of trolls.

Hi Ddan,

I'm sharing your frustration and yes, it took a bit long to solve this; but it has now been dealt with and zero tolerance is now what applies for similar and future incidents.
