The only problem I see with that is them just creating a new account. It would be nice to user name/article title/reason rejected/link to original article. If you could sort on name/article we could identify abusers. I'd keep more track of them but if the article has already been removed then I don't know about it.

No. I am presented with a ValidationSummary demanding BaseName, ArticleTitle and a one line description. It even has a serverside validation for blank spaces:
The basename contained web-unfriendly characters. The name has been changed from " a" to "__a"<br />
Subsection must be in a valid state.<br />
A section needs to be selected. <br />

Apple Safari.
I just tried the same thing in IE and the validation works.
Any idea why it doesn't work in Safari?

I have not got any RSS feed from the Lounge for the last few days, and if I check the feed through IE it appears to be empty.

Banning him and he comes right back. Time probably for Chris Maunder to set the legal team a target.

Pimpdog was never banned, if he was his name is back in use again
You're right maybe legally you could prevent him from posting abusive content over and over again
|
|
|
|

Pimpdog, CSS, Henize etc, if they all point to the same person, and that might be a little difficult to legally prove short of seizing and forensic analysis of computer equiupment. However if proof can be established, then surely there are legal solutions to this problem.
But will these legal solutions be more costly than the alternative of putting up with his anti-social behaviour whatever his name was or happens to be/become.

I think if you ban him when he appears, he may get bored and move on.
I'd love to see which orginating IP Addresse(s) he's coming from because I'd be be able to stop him from opening another account.

Little difficult though not impossible task right? At least from Asian countries, ISPs mostly give dynamic IPs to users when they connect to the Internet. Hence we run risk of blocking genuine users from the region, if we resort to IP-based bans.

He's from the states, and every IP address I've had from an ISP has been static.

If he using one, that explains the infrequent posts.

Yup!, doubt he's that clever to set up and use one.

His message was automatically removed, so it looks like enough folks deamed his post offensive enough to report it. No one quoted his post, so it's as if it never existed.
Maybe this is enough? When a poster posts something that crosses the line (wherever that line is), it should get reported by enough people so that it is automatically removed. If everyone plays it cool and doesn't reply to the original post, than the result is similar to banning the poster.
What I'm suggesting is that 1) People not reply abusive and offensive posters, and 2) We should become more aggressive in reporting them.
The danger with 2 is that non-offensive or borderline posts will get removed. However, if we consider the poster a special case (someone who's had at least one account deleted), I don't think anyone will object.
Thoughts?

Unfortunately he posted again using the offensive text of the previous message as the subject of his new post. Inside he ranted on about his first amendment rights and Jörgen chose to reply without changing the subject so that even though the message got its required number of reports, we still get to look at it repeated four or five times. 
Later on he threatens to get a few friends and attempt to make the site unusable.

Perhaps if all of us automatically report anything he says as soon as it appears, he'll move on.
