    The soapbox is for posts that aren't appropriate elsewhere. It is not a place to start flame wars, troll, push agendas or abuse the community. It's a forum like any other forum with the same rules of responsibility and civility. This is pathetic and honestly, I'm ready to just close it up.

        Didn't you post a poll on that once? I voted for it to be closed and was voted down. :( It is addictive though. :)

                  That's what Ilion wants. It seems that most - if not all - of the SoapBoxers are united in their opinion of the Ilion person. What you probably should do is find out who this guy's ISP is and report him for abuse, and then block the ISP's IP subnet from being allowed to post on CP.

                        Actually it isn't. What he wants is to be able to post his opinions and have them stay in view and not be voted as abusive. Whether or not his posts are abusive, spam, or even vaguely appropriate is another thing. I can block him easily but I'd prefer to listen to his side first.

                              Many ISPs have "no abuse" clauses as part of their service contract with an individual. Typically, what constitutes "abuse" is determined by the ISP. Complaints from a large, well-established site like CodeProject, along with supporting evidence, could at least get the kid a stern warning.

                                My understanding was that people were ignoring him, so he repeatedly started posting the same thing and THEN they were marked as spam/abuse.

                                  You may notice that it was four specific posts I kept reposting: 1) The "definition" of what the Soapbox is, along with its "rules" 2) A mock apology that I had apparently misunderstood what I'd just posted 3) A link to a thread (from Oct or so of last year) at Internet Infidels, and minor commentary on the reasons I found that thread interesting 4) A response to A**** originally made last night in a long "vanished" thread, having to do with my assessment of what my good friends here have been doing to my posts for the past two or so days. Good luck reading this before the "grown-ups" vanish it.

                                  'Dhimmitude' is a state of mind.

                                    The soapbox is for posts that aren't appropriate elsewhere. It is not a place to start flame wars, troll, push agendas or abuse the community. It's a forum like any other forum with the same rules of responsibility and civility. This is pathetic and honestly, I'm ready to just close it up.

                                    cheers, Chris Maunder

                                    I don't think closing the board would be a solution. Odds are he would just start up in another one of the boards, like the Lounge or the General Discussions. Then if you closed those, he'd just spam the programming boards with it all. Until now, while some people have gotten a bit... overzealous in their discussions, it hasn't been a problem. One person shouldn't be able to ruin something like this.

                                      Kill it. Programmer productivity worldwide would soar. :)

                                        Me, of course. And no one.
