| No! he shouldn't: free speach is a great good, even when it produces only repetition of the same noise. |

| The problem is is that this "bot" digs up old posts on the forum and it pushes the current topics off the main message board. This "bot" must be stopped, amiable as it seems. |

What I dont get - what is the point of this bot?
The link in his sig is to a nonexistent address. So he is not advertising anything. What the hell is his point?

The bot is probably old enough, and it's not too uncommon that such sites get deleted by the service provider. While we're at it lets start a campaign to ban Winston's logins too.  |

it is not hard at all to get rid of this thing... the phpBB administration panel allows for instance for 'Word Censoring'. with use of wildcards. the username of this bot could simply be banned.
but why didn't it happen??? |

I don't think this forum has any moderators, anymore. 
By the same token, maybe we should adopt Affirmo as our mascot?  |

Well they are there, but it seems everytime someone starts a thread about the moderaters not doing their job that thread always either gets locked, deleted or moved. Meanwhile the other really flaming threads are ignored.
Sorry mods, but I would be prepared to call you lazy or irresponsible. Get more manpower in if you can't handle the job. Put in filters. Ban the spammers and seedy ones.
Now who was that moron who voted to keep affirmo?! |

| judging from the experience with my own small forum, it's only the administrator that can ban users. the moderators might be able to get rid of the posts, but that's not a fun job anymore probably, given the speed they're appearing in. i haven't see the administrator on the forum for a while... |
