The reason is the following: out of 3.5M users of the forum, I guess that 10.000 at most know about ninjastic.space
I think your estimate is way off. Most forum users have no posts, BPIP shows 51k active users in the past 3 months, and many of those are only bounty spammers or alt accounts.
Picture a crime scene, okay? There is blood everywhere, finger prints etc. And before Police comes to take the existing evidence the janitor comes with a water hose, sprays water everywhere and starts to wash the floor tiles, because who needs all that mess on the floor anyway?
From the Mod's perspective, I wouldn't hold it against them. Although I would have done this:
What do you think a moderator should do if he sees such garbage topics in the root of the section under his control?
Isn't that what bans are for? To stop people from posting garbage?
I don't have the authority to ban users.
But you have a Mod board, in which you could report him to Mods with banning power. It's more than just deleting his own posts, it's moving
garbage into
your board. And that's a clear violation of the forum rules:
1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads.
He could easily have avoided all this by moving the topic to Archival, but he choose to throw his garbage topics on the board you moderate. This sets a precedent for using the board you moderate as a trashcan and by reporting his own posts there turns you into his personal trashman.
Yes, digaran gets paid for generally writing drivel that has little to do with the topic at hand.
Good point. He won't get paid for posting in my topic anymore:
I will delete
insults from digaran. Even better, I'll delete all his posts here. He's on my ignore list for a reason.
