Don't get me wrong, I would love to see this happening but I also know that following the forum rules and the way theymos think about, let's call it freedom of speech nothing will change.
My thinking on this exactly. But not only is this something Theymos isn't likely to act on, this is also a good point:
If we can't stop him from creating alts and post here how is taking this privilege from a few of his accounts going to work?
We're talking about a lunatic who had at least 55 accounts on this forum, right now nothing is going to stop him, even if you ban all active ones he will come up with 50 more, this is his way of enjoying life.
This guy will continue to troll the forum to death regardless of whether he can create self-moderated threads or not, so that kind of restriction probably wouldn't even be productive. Apparently korner is a Russian troll? I think I've heard his name before, but I can't say I remember any of his posts or that he had such a negative reputation.
I would say lets' get rid of self-moderated topics in reputation, but...that will also end in a shitshow.
Nah, let's not go that route. There are times when you want/need to make a local rule that a certain member or group of members can't post in your thread, and when they end up doing it anyway I think you ought to be able to nuke their post(s) quickly and without having to go through the mods.
