There are very few people here who repeated blatantly LIE about others and books. "They" are the extreme case of thinking that they can say anything about anyone because they are hiding behind a keyboard and a nickname.
In reality, these LIES do real harm to real people and businesses. It's not the "big joke" that some people seem to think that it is.
If they have been warned and still pull this crap, toss them for a couple of months. If they screw up again, make it 6 months. Screw up again-give them life!!
Depending on how much of the decision you would like to give to the posters, maybe you would consider some type of "panal" of posters who each get one vote. Maybe each poster over 1K posts gets a vote--I don't know, there's a zillion ways that it could be formed.
In the end, these lies, threats and other BS run off some of the most valuable posters and hurt the credibility of the forum and everyone associated with it. |
