Why don't you just ignore this poster. At the moment s/he is running rings around you guys and you're all going ape. Just let s/he keep posting.. as when reported for abuse, delete the post. Banning is never a solution as the individual can keep creating new avatars.

So, seriously, ignore the individual – and also let the others here ignore LT – and, i am sure s/he will get bored and drift away. It is all this pointing out and banning and deleting that is adding fuel to the fire.

To elaborate, you can ban an ID. You cannot keep banning an individual who keeps creating new IDs. Ignoring will lead to boredom and silence. By all means, delete inappropriate posts but stop there. S/he'll get bored and move on.

Basically, it boils down to maturity of moderators vs immaturity of moderators.

This guy desires attention. By opening a thread about him, you are giving him the attention he wants. Please take your own advice and ignore him. Adobe will continue to ban how ever many id's he wants to take time to create. Mods will continue to report him as a spammer so adobe can remove his accounts and posts like they do for any spammer.

Im locking this thread so he has one less thing drawing attention to him.

People around here seem to think that the mods are the ones dictating the rules. This isn't true, we make suggestions but the decision ultimately lies with the Adobe Employees assigned to the forum and the same thing goes to banning users.

Doing nothing just because we can't ban him permanently isn't really an option. It's not an option when dealing with spammers and the same goes for him. So what if he makes a new account? When banning someone the forum software has the option of also deleting all the posts of that user so us deleting his posts is purely optional.
