We've recently had a very kind and nice person pass away on our server. She did not inform many of her illness, and thus this was a shock to a lot of people.
Someone was kind enough to inform everyone that she had passed away, by posting a thread:
http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=2843570569&sid=1 (I don't know if this link is frowned upon, ifso, I'll remove it...)
Now, some immature guy decides that it's totally called for to post something offensive here (there will always be trolls, this is part of why there are moderators on these boards!).
Luckely, after a report of many, his post gets removed. Cudo's to the mods.
Now, he reposts the very same lame joke.
It gets reported again, and again the moderators quickly nip this in the butt.
Now comes the sad part.
Even though his remark is very disrespectfull and ment to intentionally hurt others (including the brother of the girl) he still deems it funny to post the same remark a third time....
Isn't it more productive to 3 strike someone then just let him do his thing over and over? I mean, he has proven to be a tad too young to be on the boards...
Cleaning his remarks away does not undo his intend to hurt, and most people see it before the moderator can delete this. Isn't there some provision in the rules somewhere for this kind of misbehaviour? I though that reposting deleted/locked stuff was enough.
Will this again end in a slap on the wrist and a kind "now trod along, don't do this again"?
Very angry!
