When should a Forum member be banned?

?And btw anyone reading this, copy it and paste it everytime support takes it away?

IMHO that post, being the precious drivel that it is, should just be ignored.

Mog

seemed to me guy was just posting shocking things to get a rise from people just a weirdo best forgot and he did mention using aneros with children of 8 i stoped reading his post's after that

Oh boy, this thread has turned in some kind of a funeral reception, sprinkled with sock puppets. Helixer, whether you are right or wrong this won't solve anything. The genie's out of the bottle.

Well gosh... It's about time! Thank you Aneros Support for banning Helixer. This was long overdue. Much like Rumel and Darwin have said, I personally made it a point to ignore reading his posts and not respond to him. But then like others have said, what would new forum members think of the general feel of this forum running into his posts first off? Not good. I'm most sure that this wonderful forum will grow and benefit without him. And that people of both genders will feel more comfortable to post and start new threads here without feeling attacked or having their thread high-jacked.

I used to read Helixer's posts, but as he became more bellicose and confontational, and especially long-winded in his manifestos, I just quit reading them. So I am somewhat in the dark about what he posted that got him banished from the forum. From the sounds of posters who have been paying closer attention to what he's been saying, it does sound like he might be bipolar, or at worst, have some form of schizophrenia. I do hope he gets help and gets better.

Hello, all.

From the above posts, it seems the consensus around here is that Helixer was properly warned and then equally correctly, banned.

I've noticed on other forums and boards that making a permanent ban effective can be very difficult for technical reasons, such as dynamic IP addresses and multiple user platforms. So I don't think we should be surprised to see Helixer return as a new user after a month or two. His return would be OK by me as long as his "new" persona is more in line with the rules of this site. I guess we'll wait and see.

Cheers,

Dave

ten_s_nut,

I hope you are right but i'm not sure it's working so far.

It looks as if he has reappeared in this thread alone in at least five aliases. If so, he has already returned!
