In terms of loonies getting out of line. You know someone is out of line when you see it. You are a stompy foot. If someone gets out of line -STOMP!

Could white font work?
I think that'd drive you Easties crazy, wouldn't it?
Yes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whatever happened with the Smithsonian submission?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The spammer's account is deactivated. I'll delete the posts.

Thanks, DX. That was quick.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Question: those have been noted as obvious spam.
Do we warn before deactivation, or assume total non-Buffista intent?

If I only had a brain...
I think we warn if there's a reasonable doubt the person is spamming. In that case, there was no reasonable doubt.
Like, if I show up and say
"Hey, this is a really cool board! If you like Buffy, you might like my Ebay auctions!", that's cause for a warning.
But spamming on topics completely non-germane to the board? Death. Death by foot. Death by stompy foot.

I saw absolutely no intent to join the flow of the conversation so I deactivated. My feeling is that if they're upset, they can email the admin and ask to be reactivated.

Especially when accompanied by a message about how to save ourselves from going to hell.
Some of us like it there.
