I do definitely agree with you. I'm pretty sure I went out of my way to tell him how ignorant his questions were on 95% of them but they all got deleted when I removed all my old posts. In fact it is he that I got tired of telling off on a daily basis which prompted me to remove all them posts.
However, this doesn't change the fact that he is thirsty for knowledge. What is available here for him to learn from he should still have access to. Just keep him from starting new threads because 99% of them are shit threads that nobody learns anything from.
Just my .02 cents.

FYI, I am gonna be a real asshole if we keep you around and the shit questions keep coming dude. Also, your handle is stupid. Mine is shitty, but yours is a joke.
I really didnt want to take the time to explain my reasoning. I figured most of it would be so self evident that i wouldnt need too, however since this poll is at the end of the day about the community, and we always have new(er) people to bring into the fold. So now i will go ahead and take the time.
First part of the reason he should be banned imo is that he HAS had numerous slaps on the wrist from staff, VIP, and the community at large. Anyone that unwilling to correct their behavior is not going to get along here. Just as important on this point, this is a COMMUNITY of like minded individuals. If no one here likes you(and indeed no one in this thread seems too) you are not part of the community ergo you have no reason to have an account. The resources behind post count can be found elsewhere by and large, its just a convenience to have them all in one place. Meaning even without an account all he really looses access too is the ability to waste our time. This is a good thing for us.
Second part of my reasoning goes more into broader terms, since i was talking about this recently i will recant here: The reason i signed up to evilzone in the first place was GREAT high quality posts, but JUST as importantly was the community behind it. While reading through the stickies i hit Xires "You are not special" sticky and was just like..yeah this place GETS it, this is something that I want to be a part of. Every topic, every post has the chance to bring someone not just knowledgeable into the fold, but JUST as importantly into the community. If this site were just about knowledge it would just be a link repository, its not JUST knowledge we here at EZ are after, we want the community. When you fill "recent posts" with shit like the above individual supplies in excess it makes it harder to find not only knowledge, but the community underneath and behind that knowledge.
At the end of the day our time is limited, not just to browse these forums but on this very planet we reside on. When you make nothing but time wasting posts you do nothing but waste innumerable peoples very precocious time. Time that we could be learning, or time that we could be having fun and getting to know each other better. Yes we should try to correct behavior before just booting someone, we have, again and again tried to help this individual. It is no longer in my opinion worth OUR time to continue to do so. He will not learn, he needs to go, not just for himself but for us. Removing him also sends a message to some who are borderline that their is only so much of this bull shit we will put up with. Since he is our current worst offender, he SHOULD be made example. Who knows maybe someone else will take the wake up call we so patiently tried to give this individual and put it to good use.
