For me i rather him post in other threads than clutter up the board with 50 new and pointless ones like he is doing now again.

I believe that's what they did, wasn't it? I watched to see who was online during
the troll's time here, and no mod was on board. (Dread showed, but he
obviously was not lurking at the time). Then JR came on, and a few minutes
later the troll was banned.

this clown has been banned 6 or 7 times now and frankly anyone that determined is almost impossible to stop..
it is not like we like the extra work but putting on to many restrictions also diminish the forum.. sometime you have to take the good with the bad..
If you think it is annoying to Y'all it is not just the editing and deleting these moron cause but also the 4-5 behind the scenes thing they cause us to do with each of these post or threads..
we do not want to ban someone that is legit and being brand new sometimes it takes 5-6 posts for them to be seen.. one of them was visitors message that some third party reported.. or he would still be here..
your reported posts are great folks as the mods can not see everything all the time.. but please one report per newbie per person is usually enough..
please do not get crazy if we do not drop the hammer in a heart beat it sometimes takes awhile.. 6-7 reported posts by the same member in 6-7 threads will not make it happen faster.. often it just slows stuff down..
I f I have a vote I have always been an advocate of not allowing newbies to start threads.. while it has not been a huge problem here the number of almost dupe threads in mania in the past drove me nuts..
having the same conversation in 5-6 different threads is insane IMO..
I would like to see a min number of post before they can start threads it would cut down on those that come here to spam their products or web sights..
The only thing I agree with here is that it would cut down on those that come here to spam their products or websites.
As far as newbies starting dup threads, established members also start dup threads. Sometimes I have posted a new thread, because I use the exact title on the article that I am posting. Then later my thread is merged because someone already posted the article, but titled the thread different than what the article title was.

Fair enough...
But it would make idiots like him harder to track, in a manner of speaking.
Fewer people would realize what he's doing or report it... it'd be easier to overlook a few posts...
Then on top of that, you have the guys they mentioned that would also start spamming just so that you could start a thread.
Instead of a post limit, how about a 72 hour waiting period before new threads can be started?
I got mind control while I'm here
You goin' hate me when I'm gone
Ain't no blood clot and no fear
I got hope inside of my bones

If you think about it. If someone comes in and starts jacking up threads, we get an idea if someone needs to be banned before they are given the ability to start a thread. Its not going to take care of every troll, but it kills spammers abilities (a captcha script when signing up for the site would help this too) to do their damage,
