    As has been pointed out before, and as Demiurge has proven, there is no rule against spamming sans the clause in Rule #3.

    Spamming in Media Central has been curbed before.

    I am also still waiting for what contribution he has made. He's been spamming since post number one of his account going active.

    Finally I point out rule number 7.

    I agree. I submit that baba has been in violation of Rule #3 since his arrival.

    Y'know, despite reading this thread and others like it, I just don't understand the Baba hate. If you don't want to read his threads, then don't. If you don't post in them, they'll drop off. Compared to some of the denizens of Wordforge, Baba is pretty harmless.

    The whole thing is pretty fucking hilarious. He doesn't really DO anything but start pointless threads with crappy grammar, yet everyone's panties get in a twist about it?

    Eh, so do Sarah Palin threads, Mewa botching about something inconsequential then backpeddling, Starguard threads, Midnight Funeral threads, etc., etc.

    It'd be nice if there were fewer of all of these threads, but last I checked, we all migrated over here to get away from such desires becoming law.

    But hey, maybe that's because I remember how Baba was treated in the Borgs era, and how much of a hilarious double-standard that was.

    I loved how baba was treated in the Borgs era.

    Bring back borgs! If only to make him the baba-moderator.

    You know what's even more annoying than a Baba thread? The constant whining about Baba threads.

    At least he is funny without being malicious.

    I'd hardly call him a troll.

    Besides, some of his threads do start interesting discussions.

    If you figure its okay to ban whoever we think is annoying, then we might as well just go back www.trekbbs.com

    Pretty clearly both IMO. Except on the occasions where he goes all Enterpriser and starts 50 dumb threads at once, his act is particularly easy to ignore or to simply be relaxed enough about to find it mildly amusing.

    He hasn't broken a rule and it's a rare occasion that threads are deleted, this isn't one of those occasions.
