Anyway, you may agree the odds are very likely?

I can't say for certain, I'd assume that they've read it by now (due to the age of the thread).

Ok. We both know the chances are they have almost certainly read this thread.
You clearly have not alerted them, as staff on Bitcointalk.

OK. So in your opinion as a moderator, (albeit not empowered here) do you see any problem with these reported posts?

Quote from: rizzlarolla on June 30, 2016, 05:13:27 PM

1. zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads.
2. off-topic posts.
3. trolling.
8. threats to inflict bodily harm, death threats. (not quite but..)

I don't think that either rule 1 or rule 8 have been breached. Keep in mind that the person is making genuine posts (regardless of whether they're positive/negative); I've also not seen signs of any concrete threats in the examples presented. I would say (without a detailed analysis) that the involved parties (in the thread where I've participated) have gone completely off-topic in a sense where they've been just talking to each other and about each other. As far as trolling is concerned, this should not be concluded without analyzing/reading the whole thread(s) as something may seem like trolling when it is taken out of context.

So rules 2 and 3 apply. I agree.
You will notice I said well not quite about rule 8. Just showing undesirability in this members general approach and attitude.
The posts seem very rule 1 to me, but ok, off topic trolling is fine.

I would say the other party you speak of (presuming i'm correct) should have stopped trying to explain anything directly to Carlton as it was clear carlton was trolling. (but even you quoted carlton)
However, the other party you speak of (i haven't checked figures) seemed to stay on topic.
(remember, all 18 carlton off topic trolling posts i have listed do not relate in any way to the thread title or direction. they are additional to the possible rule 8 posts)
The other party you speak of was not the only receiver of the offending posts.

Are you kind of saying, it is ok to chat off topic between yourselves?
How does that fit with "Do not post off-topic replies" - Theymos.

Also, Carlton has not posted since 1/7. Is he serving a ban? Is there a way to check?

No, he's not and there's no way for normal users to check that.

Ok thanks for sharing.
