FIAWOL Issue

[army CPT]

I have been pretty hands off with this issue for a few reasons but we are now at a point where 1 person has seemingly killed all board topics. I have seen more deleted posts and calls for moderation since his arrival than at any other time before in NB. So I ask you the NB users to message me your thoughts before I take any decisive action on FIAWOL. You may post it here or PM me if you wish.
I will take corrective action one way or the other by Sunday.

The initial posts did not require moderation. Sure, FIAWOL may have been annoying to many members of the community, but the lack of substance does not warrant moderation (everyone has an ignore button). If you were to begin editing FIAWOL's posts for simply being obnoxious or annoying, it would not be too long before people would use the same justification to edit your posts.

Now, the mass deletion, on the other hand, is not a desirable quality - but I think we are already barred from deleting first posts since they delete threads. The only real change that you can make (besides banning all deletions) is to have a time limit on them. I know some forums have a policy/feature that prevents deletion of a post after some amount of time, whether seconds, minutes, or hours.

And thats why I haven't touched him ..however after the rash of no response post warfare that has gone on ....well it may be time for something
