My first impulse was to ban Knuckles immediately when he joined, considering his track record on other forums as well as his attitude toward me and EF staff in the past.
Despite his first two posts here on GHQ being very aggressive, I decided to give him a fair chance to start anew. I warned him via PM that he was on a short leash, and that needlessly aggressive, insulting and disruptive behavior would not be tolerated.
A review of his latest posts and reputation comments shows that he has ignored this warning and is becoming increasingly more aggressive towards fellow members and forum staff, a trend that I am convinced will only get worse with time, so I have permanently banned Knuckles.
Ban message shown to member:
[I gave you a fair chance, when most would have simply banned you immediately upon registration based on your forum history. However, you seem to be unable to resist antagonizing and insulting people.] With GamersHQ, I am trying to build a community of passionate, friendly and experienced gamers; a place where gamers can interact and discuss all types of games in a mature atmosphere, without concerns of being flamed, harrassed or insulted, as so often happens on general gaming forums. Knuckles' past and recent behavior runs directly against that goal. |
. Can't really say it was unexpected though, this is Knuckles we're talking about. I didn't mind him though.
