I'm with Alma on this one.
When someone makes an insanely crazy offer, that is most likely not true, he gets off the hook. You don't assume he's spamming or trolling, you just can't assume it.
Regardless if he is trolling, he is making similar threads to others, yet his is getting shot down without even a chance. You can't just assume he's trolling because of his history. You don't ban someone because you assume he's a scammer and a lot of people has reported him to be one (with lack of evidence). It's happened before and it will happen again, you don't go assuming someone was a scammer and ban him until someone actually reports him with sufficient proof. I've seen a lot of these scammers. I saw nothing wrong with his diary thread, he wasn't even given a chance.
Because someone has a funny avatar and signature, to some people, he suddenly can't be taken seriously? Don't tell me you won't take my post seriously because of my signature. I don't see what's wrong to let his threads live, if it gets out of hand and/or he's clearly trolling then either lock it or move it to the Spam Forum. It's a little harsh not to even give him time or a chance.
In his "Your Thoughts on Black People?" thread, there was actually a decent discussion going on, and in no way did he even spam or troll his thread. Trippin went based on an assumption. Alma didn't even give out his opinion. Research paper or not, he doesn't need to have a reason to ask for the people's opinions, and eventually share his (Something I'd have been looking forward to).
Serious thread or not, I still don't know why he's being treated based on assumptions, when a staff cannot ban a member of Sythe unless there is concrete proof brought up in a report, if a bunch of people just reports him scamming lacking key evidence, the "scammer" doesn't get banned. It's no different, but when a scammer doesn't get banned till enough evidence is brought forward, they usually tend to scam more.
Summed it up nicely there.
