What happened to rule 3?

Since trolls don't get banned, and they feed on attention, I just click Ignore. But that's not for everyone: I don't get why people are still posting in self-moderated topics when the warning on top shows all 25 posts have been deleted.

Drive-by sig spammers post without reading the preceding posts or the OP, sure as shit they're not gonna read the line above the OP, nor do they care as long as the post stays up until the campaign manager does weekly counts.

Rule #1 is #1 most abused and #1 least enforced.

They probably have nothing better to do in their life, or they are doing it intentionally to prove the point.
I think Ignore button works perfectly in this situation, unless in some weird way someone enjoys wasting time.
Banning trolls don't work most of the time as they just create new accounts.

I mostly agree. Although banning troll with fairly high rank account is better than nothing, since they'll be forced to face some limitation with the new account (such as image not shown and no signature).
