I dont know whether to laugh or cry!
You worry about his "low quality post count" and that he might look suspicious?
And this: "Still I didn't call for a ban, I just asked if such worthlessness was authorized here" .....
Like WTF.. with all the known spammers, scammers, suckpuppets etc. you worry about this guy?!
And a staff member responding with: "because you're spamming up the forum with useless posts" "quit strawmaning. answer the damn question."
Well then start moderating!
Allow me to post from another thread:
So you describe a problem, ask for help on solutions...
and the resulting 11 pages that follow are the same problems you describe: vendor hate, people calling people whatever, people talking off topic, with some genuinely trying to address the OP's issue, and etc.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic or condescending or any of that, just an honest question: If you really wanted to change this, why don't you just "moderate"? you know, like your title says. Use your common sense/best discretion. If someone starts bashing BFL in the KNC thread, tell them to stay on topic. If someone calls someone a whatever tell them to keep it civil. If Josh calls his customers a moron cuz they want their money back for an undelivered product, tell him to act professional. If people refuse, just ban them for a bit? I don't know...
Or don't. It's up to you. Just that most of the other forums I goto, this is what the "moderator" tends to do.
I love this forum.

Get to it Staff!
So are staff getting anywhere with this thread or did it die in offtopic?
Yes it died on the first page ...
... then why do we even bother..... :/
Don't get me wrong, if I were the admin I'd ban his ass.
The point is I know that it's not how the moderation works here, so I just tried to make mods aware of this to have their opinion of this kind of things.
By the way, I report spammers and scammers. Not sockpuppets as they are officially authorized.
there are certain hero members spouting nonsense all day and nothing happened to them yet
And I don't think it's a good thing
Trolling, off-topic posting and one-sentence long posts could be tolerated IMO. But if
every single post is in any of those three categories then why keeping the guy?

sometimes I'll still read people on the ignore list if they have something intelligent to say it just helps me keep civil and not go into troll mode
