But I'm wary of falling into the LPSG trap of defining "disruptive" down so that it's synonymous with "pain-in-the-ass annoying" or even "mildly annoying."
What I've deleted so far (either deleting the posts, and/or squelching the member account so that no more similar posts will appear) are
i. obvious spam.
ii. repetitive posts - Specifically, one dick who posted the same message about thirty times, in different fora.
iii. weird posts - Long rambles obviously unrelated to the thread. These are the garbage we've been having lately.
iv. posts containing personal info - Things like real name, home address, work address, real-life nicknames, photos. Edited out by request of the subject.
v. really weird and offensive threads - Deleted by popular acclaim. It's only happened once so far - the thread was the infamous Targeting New or Current LPSG Members As Banned Members.
vi. special cases - very rare. I temporarily turned off one member's ability to send PMs, due to request of some of the recipients who found them annoying (I don't know the content of the messages myself), and turned off one member's ability to post avatars (more or less for the hell of it).
I occasionally get complaints about a poster being just generally annoying, but so far have let those go, as most of our membership have been around 'net fora for a while and can probably defend themselves without Admin intervention. |
