Mods will not ban long time posters with an established posting history. This guy, although, here for 2 years, was by no means established. Let's just say, you went off the deep end and started posting trash, you are established, we wouldn't ban you, but you'd get a personal note (or ban) from Jim ;)

We do take into account the number of posts and the sign on date for individual posters for ban criteria. Long timers get more slack than newbies. The general rule of thumb for mods is, if you are in doubt, do nothing, ask others to review, or Jim makes a decision. The 1000 post thing is lame. Most trolls can't wait to post their garbage. It's been my experience, they might last 30 posts at the max.

Hey, thanks for the insight. It's always interesting to see what goes on behind the curtains. Jim posted a thread a good while back that had the admin moderator's forum on it and it was very interesting and I think Freepers would benefit from seeing that sort of thing from time to time.

It's true isn't it? Most disruptors just cannot resist can they? They can't play the game. Someone hits their key issue and they just go into melt-down.
