That won't stop us getting complaints about him, or people wanting action taking for him spamming.

And all the ignore post button does is stop you from seeing what's written. It doesn't remove the post from the thread.

If they don't see his posts, then they have no thing to complain about.

Can you imagine that though? A newbie signs up.. says "What's with this guy CoryAllen?". A mod says, "Just put him on ignore". It's way too weird.

I'm sure the newbs will figure out the ignore button soon enough.

It took us this long.

They WILL still see his posts though. They just won't see what's written in them.

The major complaint about him is that he fills the forum with loads & loads of small posts. With the ignore posts activated these posts don't go away, so the problem in effect is still there.

I see.

Sorry Cory, I tried.

Forgive me if I step on any toes, since I don't feel I've been here long enough/contributed enough to really have any say in the matter, but wouldn't deleting all his posts cause more confusion/work?

More to the point, if someone had quoted him at some point, the quote would need to be removed to, since it would be referring to a now non-existant post.

A little guidance?

He's had guidance from virtually every mod in this place for the last 4 months. And he's chosen to ignore it all.

The reason this thread was created was so that he realises just how many complaints the mod team get about this him, Even the most patient & understanding members of the forum regularly send us messages asking 'how long till this guy gets banned' . We're not trying to be Nazi's , if we were we would have got rid of him ages ago.

This isn't about elitism , this is about approx 2 thirds of the regular members of the forum wanting something done about his spam.

I don't want to ban him or delete his posts, I just want to go into a thread & not have to wade through hundreds of stupid comments from him & then after that all the comments from other people complaining about his posts.

He's on a final warning , he's on his third strike.

And what's the first thing he does when he get's back?

He starts a bunch of pointless threads & then goes on to spam loads of other threads with stupid posts.

The kid seriously has a problem taking in instructions and his time is running out. the only aim of this thread was to make him realise just how close to going he is.

Ok a lot of guidance. Perhaps more than MB has to offer. I agree with you about it being annoying to have to skip over all his posts to get to the real posts. I guess it's up to you guys to decide then, I mean it's a sticly situation here. I mean I do feel bad for the kid, maybe I'm too soft and give people too many chances. I guess I'm on the fence about it.

What if a sub forum was created where members like corryallen would be sent for rehabilitation and be restricted to making threads and posts in that forum only.
Regular members would be able to post reply as usual.
Once he learns how to behave in that sub forum, then and only then, would he be allowed back into the community. Any decent threads made during his time in the 'rehab' sub-forum will be moved to the correct places in the regular forums on his release.

A bit like a mental hospital, or a prison for rehabilitating problem members.
Obviously, corryallen wouldn't be the only inmate. I can think of a few others that would need to join him in there.
The mods wouldn't have to run around cleaning up after him because it would be contained all in one place.
His progress would be in his own hands.

He's already admitted he like's the place and needs time to settle in.
Surely that's better than banning him?
