Yes. FYI, the moderators don't know who is who. Jim does though, and he can cross check new posters. When you alert us, or we find a troll, we notify Jim and he checks their status. Sometimes we ban someone immediately. You know the obvious ones....F***Bush as a new screen name will be banned without Jim's knowledge. But someone like this fellow who posted this previous thread, we didn't know if he was a retread or not. Jim did confirm. In the worst case situation, we may ban someone, only to find out we errorred, Jim can restore that person, appoligize profusely, and hopefully they will understand. We are only human, mistakes will happen, and we do try to correct them as soon as possible.
We don't willy nilly ban people. Oldtimers get plenty of warnings, and only Jim will ban them. We only ban the really bad newbies.
It's getting worse right now with the newbie trolls, they are comming out of the woodwork, so, we must be doing something right.
