@popobawa4u is no longer welcome at the BBS.
The mod team has repeatedly tried to account for this user’s viewpoint while simultaneously requesting, pleading that if they wanted to take conversations in new directions, to use the tools available to create new topics. This never occurred.
As a result, a significant amount of mod time was spent disentangling posts from this user, and the resulting derailment, from topics. This activity was almost always met with disagreement, leading to further work on our part.
I’d more or less accepted this status quo as part of our community because the discussions, while distracting, we’re at least, mostly, civil.
Over the past few days, however, this users posts have become increasingly hostile to both other posters as well as the mod team itself.
It has become increasingly clear that “progress” (whatever that would look like) towards integrated discussions involving this user was unlikely, and indeed, had recently begun to regress instead.
Ultimately, we can’t continually devote extensive mod resources to any single user.
