No don't ban this guy though. He hasn't done anything to deserve being banned.
I respectfully disagree. I think it's inappropriate to allow that sort of talk, especially in a forum that has a large number of kids under 18,16,14, etc. It's not one comment in which he exercised poor judgment, it is a repeated disregard for the other members of the forum.
Hell, the guy started a thread entitled "do you like kids" and, from his other posts, it's clear that he's very strongly implying very objectionable things. Even his avatar makes that evident.
Personally, I wouldn't mind just ignoring it, but I'm 23 and I really don't feel comfortable not saying something about it when there are a lot of young kids reading his garbage.
I realize that he could just make another name and keep posting, but I think it's important that this is addressed as a matter of principle, even if it's just a message from a moderator asking him to cut the crap before any real action is taken.
Just my two cents of course, and I respect whatever decisions the moderators make.
I haven't seen anything that seemed way out of line. Are there any other examples that I didn't see? I don't feel like this thread is entirely inappropriate. That desktop thing was the worst I've seen but it's obviously just a joke. The avatar thing is a little weird, but that itself doesn't deserve a ban. But yeah, if the mods feel like it's too much, they should tell him and give a warning. I just don't think making a few jokes merits an automatic ban without warning.
