I have reported the current spammer. I got tired of replying to each of his posts, so I'll just start a new thread saying I did it.

TheV8C*** (you know his name...) - his posts have been reported. Most of them anyway.

One of the unfortunate benefits of the internet and our legal system is that you cannot directly beat the living crap out of kids like this.

Rather than reply to each of the threads simply report one and ignore the rest. They'll will be gone once a mod deletes the account.

Yep, thanks to lawyers and liberals, the criminals and perverts have way more rights than I do. I really like how I have to work and pay taxes just to support useless punks

Hey now, I'm more liberal than conservative and I think perverts and criminals should be "beaten to a pulp" too. I blame the lawyers, not the liberals.

Liberal statement: These punks often pay taxes as well but that doesn't give them free reign to act like asshats. This is a direct result of a large anynomous society. These people have no "checks" in place to reprimand their attitudes. If this were a coffee shop and they pulled this crap they'd crawl out the door with a few teeth missing or if this were a village they would be marginalized. People often wonder why large civilizations do not last....

This new forum software gives us the ability to ""prune threads by member."

This means that after someone takes a lot of time to register a name, set up an account, and make some posts, we can remove their profile and all their posts in about a minute of effort. In fact, the biggest hesitation influencing how long it takes us to remove them from the PriusChat database is the amount of time it takes us to log into the Administration Control Panel.

So in the future if you see references to someone or a post that is indicated to be offensive but you can't find that person or their posts just assume that they've been "pruned."

So just to clarify, If a spammer is banned and deleted, ALL his posts are also deleted?

Yes

It's probably better to not respond to goofballs like that. Send messages to moderators, put the goofball on your ignore list and sit back and wait for the moderators to clean him out of the site. The rather obscene pictures suggest a certain banned cephalopod but who knows?
