Because locals always tolerate tiny mistakes. Let's say a new user registered today and copy-pasted some random article in our local thread, in the past days, we were used to asking him to edit it and add the source or delete it. Do you see the tolerance here? Global members would go ahead and report their posts and they would get banned without having a single chance.

We have tolerated many more things in our local thread and that is the reason they were able to abuse every single feature of this forum. Someone has to stand up against them, and I thought it was the perfect time to step up. Luckily it worked and they stopped doing what they were doing for a while.

Maybe it is the case with your local board. I would not say that is a common thing for every local. For example, in russian local, where I constantly write, the situation is different. Sure, the members there show support and give reasonable advice, but you also come across lots of sarcasm and irony, even intolerance sometimes. I am sure most of local members would not hesitate to report some newbie who is violating forum rules.

Spammers/abusers will always try to spam/abuse, that's in their nature. But we don't report them straightway. We tend to give them fair warnings/advice's/2nd chances, but when things gets out of hand we take hard actions against them. That how it is with our local board. That's what LB did for our local board. And surprisingly they stopped.

My personal perspective is that nobody is born a quality forum user/writer. When I first joined this forum, I made many mistakes, but these guys (LB and so on), helped me, guided me. So I want to do the same as they did.
