Honestly, I like this thread, it shows how difficult it is to be a mod.
Amen

Correct and I completely agree with you, but Jagger has a point as well. VV could just report Sams post as well, and then it's up to the mods to decide.

Are you kidding Jagger? Don't make me go search through posts and get hundreds of examples for flaming/Inciting members. I Love how trolls have become so common here now that their behavior is no longer obvious to some.
Sam, like a young child, just says everything that comes into his head. HE just creates a thread about every one.
Whether he has broken the rules or not, could you guys not just put him on ignore?
There's a big difference between flaming and simply being a jerk. It's not against the rules to incite people here. In fact, isn't that kinda what this section of the forum is all about? If he has directly harassed someone or engaged in unprovoked name-calling, I'd like to see it. If it's as plentiful as you say, it should be easy to find if you go to his profile and look. And if you have reported it and the mods have not acted, then your complaints must not be justified.
Just sayin'....
You're not going to promote the ignore function, are you?

How do we know for sure that he's had multiple accounts? :dunno:
People can ignore me if they like. I think if you don't like a members posts then why get yourself worked up about it. Some people here post great things and some people post what is essentially crap. BUt tha's why there is an ignore function, i presume
I've never used the ignore function myself so i wouldn't know. If i'm honest, if i think one of his threads will be garbage, i just hover over it or ignore it all together. Sometimes i just click on his threads to see what people write as commentsWhat's the use of an ignore fuction if you still read the things he write when someone quotes him?
Just make it easy on yourself and ignore him yourself. I tried an ignore function on another board once, and it just doens't work.
We, the voters, vote thusly on the issue of wether to ban Sam Fisher or not. See poll.

Not against rules to incite people? Say that to my "inciting member" profile infraction.
And it is very easy to find a instances on his profile, I just didn't think I would have to find them for you. If I get the time later to post them in here I will. Even though it will be a waste of time since they were already reported.
Nah, don't ban him. If you don't like what he says, use the ignore option. Banning him will only make us more like him.
Voting to ban him or anyone else gives that person a relevance that they don't deserve. Most notably in Sams case, because he just laps shit like this up.
Maybe you don't, but I do. It shows. But that's not THAT important, I'm sure the mods can if they want based on his IP.
Flaming, Personal Attacks, and Harassment
What is considered Flaming?
...
4. Personal Attacks - attack against a member, not their views, argument, opinion or stance on an issue.
5. Taunting and baiting - posts or comments with the intent to inflame a member or group of members.
...
And they would have banned him already had that been the case.
I actually enjoy sparring with Sam....it's easy prey. Kinda like debating a 12 year old. Besides, he likes voluptuous women and '56 Chevys so he does have at least a few redeeming qualities.
Why? He hasn't broken any rules as far as I know. And if the purpose of this thread is to bend the rules to get rid of someone you don' like, whe should all be banned because there is always someone who doesn't like you or me. In fact, with a little 'bending of the rules' we should all be banned because of n°4 and n°5:
Since this is not a thread against his opinions etc, and since there is no valid reason to ban him, you could consider it a personal attack. QED
