I wasn't going to post (since the important points have been adequately covered), but this caught my eye.
Folks, we're just a group of people trying to make the board run smoothly.
So think what you would do in our shoes if ANY member continually pushed the boundries.
What
we do is we tell each other and start to watch that member to see if they are really a trouble maker, and if we have to spend a lot of time watching them, we start to ask, "Is this guy/girl really worth all the time we are spending on them?"
(Remember, we are volunteers and aren't paid for the time it takes to moderate posts).
So I
really don't recommend this line of reasoning, because the truth is, we HAVE banned people when it just got to be too much to deal with them.
The "sweet-spot" you hit might get you knocked out right out of the forum.
