Andreas,

I really like the way you listen and communicate back to us!! I'd vote you a 5 star but you won't let me..LOL!!

As far as I am concerned, I would not even let a mail room rank vote, so treasurer and up only. Also, if a treasurer is busted back to mail room, suspend voting again.

As you are very much aware, we have a returning poster on EDIG who has created some where around 50 aliases with different IP addresses no less in a year, and is banned in 24-48 hours of his 1st post, then he comes right back.

This persons 1st order of business is to vote 1 star to those that he has issues with over a 10+ year period on IHUB, RB, Yahoo! and Agora. His 2nd order of business is either flagging posts or sending vulgar PM's, and his 3rd is to post, in which he starts out usually at OT with some baited comments to attract attention, lurks for a while, then sends a few bashing posts to the main forum and we show him the door. I have seen this guy create up to 9 aliases in a weekend and be banned 9 times. As a result of this persons activity, scores are mangled.

There is no simple solution for sure, but I'm happy just to see our thoughts being considered.

When Agora says, "investor controlled forums" you are not kidding!

Thank you, DISCHINO.
