What a great feature. Are you sure it doesn't just make their fingers and toes all wrinkly, like when you've been in the tub too long? Wouldn't it be more effective if you could "prune members by threads"? That way they couldn't pass along their bad genes.

Yes, as F8L said. It's not automatic, but it's an option we have.

I don't want people to think that if they are ever banned all their posts get erased. But when there's a troll who makes a half-dozen posts, we used to have to go and clean them up one at a time. Now we have about three mouse clicks and *poof*.

I was referring to the Liberal Party of Canada. Among other things, they had a Legal Age of Consent of 14 years old. At the most, a kiddie porn pervert *might* see a year in jail, usually just a fine and a slap on the wrist

Most of the perverts that are discovered around here are disenfranchised losers who certainly don't make enough to even pay tax. However, the have the "right" to get a computer, post disgusting images, and generally act like a loser pervert. Naturally, once discovered, they are the victim in all of this

I really don't know what the "final solution" should be. Perhaps grind them up and turn them into cat food. Perhaps lengthy jail sentences. Perhaps quick surgical removal of their reproductive organs. Your guess is as good as mine.

I for one would not like to see radical Muslims take over. Though I think we both know what would happen to the perverts if radical Muslims did take over, so maybe some compromises are in order.

Yes, I get pretty steamed over this crap

The name is still showing on the main page of the forums he was sliming but when you click on the topic itself, the posts are no longer there.

So, a lot of "pruning" makes, uh, certain things flow OUT nice
and fast, right? Cool. Yes, I learned my lesson about this as
a kid.

The last remaining problem is that the persons name can be offensive (or include an offencive element. e.g. "TheV8****"

It takes the admins just a couple of mouse clicks to delete all of somebody's posts. This is how they were able to make short work out of the recent troll attack.
