Louis, that’s exactly what I posted yesterday and again earlier today but you’re one of the posters that respond to him.
I’ve seen it regularly and just last week I think.
It won’t stop as posters just love answering and typing zz’s etc. It just feeds his illness.
He loves it of course.

Having him on ignore is futile,as we still see snippets of his conversation with others!! As you point out,a planned course of action could be let him have his own permanent thread,where he can shout till his hearts content, along with posters who wish to engage with him,then perhaps we could get the forum going forward,with decent debates,without having to read nonsense arguing back and fore?? Just a little suggestionotherwise,how do you ignore someone,when he keeps being pasted into a reply from others! It's like not speaking to someone,and every now and again,he whispers in your ears regardless

He thrives on a response so don’t give him what he desires, attention.

I’ve been saying exactly this but there’s always some that respond - wez, Allen, RV, Dodo and a few more.
You’ll be lucky to stop everyone responding to him.
If Annis really wanted him permanently out I’m sure there are ways.

For the record I never directly respond to his posts, I have avoided him for years on this board and never knowingly get into conversations with it, yes I have been a bit childish the past week with the zzzzzzz's but to be honest I just had enough of coming on here and reading his self obsessed views on every other thread which over the past month have become incredibly more tedious than ever and impossible to avoid.

The problem is you can only ignore the username, as we all know, when he has been rumbled he quickly comes up with a new guise.
I know this might sound draconian but I would make the 1st 25 - 50 posts of any new member subject to clearance by the mods.
Firstly he would hate not having his instant gratification and secondly he might actually realise his time is up.....just a thought!

That has to be the stupidest idea on so many different points. Firstly, I'm sure the owner wants to try and grow this board, how can that be done when possible new members cannot join?
Secondly, what are you going to do to stop him in the second, third week etc.?
