Then perhaps stop responding to the topics they post and they'll get bored and leave. \_()_/ The advice you were given in post 2 of your topic was good. Post 6 was also good information.

Okay, so I'm gonna switch gears and pose this to you like a moderator that does care. Let's try.

The user in question has a main account. He's loud, obnoxious, makes blatant trolling posts and he tows the line mostly with what he can get away with. Yes, he angers people, lots of people, but he pretty much behaves just enough to ... I dunno what mods call it, but it isn't "be a good poster". It's like a poster skating on thin ice, but he's not sinking in.

Then, he already has about 10 well known alt accounts that are verified by himself, and he isn't shy about saying literally the exact same things he always says on his main account, except that on his other accounts they all have a "gimmick" where he pushes one opinion over his other accounts.

This is just the start. Daily, this person makes about 3 or 4 topics with each account. That amounts to roughly 30-40 topics of him just saying the exact same things over and over, every single day. So... what part of this breaks the rules? Well, from the outside looking in, none right? So now imagine sitting through this on your favorite subject board for approximately 5 years. Every single day, about six or seven of the exact same topic, over and over for half a decade. Can you see how this would get annoying, yet not break any actual rules? The entire front page of topics on this board right now at this very minute (all 20 of them) are all him. Now, imagine you are a new user visiting this board. The very first thing you notice is that his main account is really annoying and beyond obnoxious. It gets the point that you notice that there are like five or more people that are literally repeating what that one guy says all the time. So you ask "Hey, what's the deal with that one annoying guy and his troop of agreeing people that are all clearly trolling?" Then, a regular user (Someone like me) says "Oh, that's just ______, those are all his alts. He does that." Then they say "Well, I put him on ignore like a month ago, but now there's still like 5 people that must be his new alts doing the saying the exact same boring stuff."

Again... how does the ignore feature help with this?
