Are you aware that a recent poster (currently on 3rd username) has evoked strong feelings of annoyance from many ABers has now elicited responses from (at least) 2 of your stalwarts to leave the site?

I understand that it may be a headache to block IP addresses, but this situation could lead to the demise of AB if it is not addressed, imo.

naomi, I have been remiss in not thanking the Mod who was quick off the mark to banish the miscreant today. Otherwise, yes, they have been suspended but posts remain in one ID. (Sorry for delay - cooking lunch.)
OK, choux. There might be more chance that the Eds will spot it then, but I still think you should email them rather than subject them to a detective game - especially since another name is still being used.

The mods remove hundreds of threads each day and most of them are spam and the spammers are banned too. I don't know if the Editors have time to read all of the reports or if they just take it on trust that we have made the right decisions.
We can only remove the posts we see are against Site Rules and if another moderator is removing posts and threads it is difficult for the rest of us to build up a picture of a poster.
Does the person you are referencing have a particular timeframe in which they are posting?
It was good in the days when new members names were in green. I wonder if we could have that again?
Question Author
Fair enough, Mods. We have seen this type of post descend to unacceptable levels on AB many times before which is why I haven't ID'd the people involved. Perhaps one of you would kindly close this one for me before it attracts further accusations? Many thanks.
