Crusading

Grand Lodge RPG Superstar 2012 Top 32

So there's this guy who's suddenly running around in various forums, starting and/or necro-ing threads on a given topic, telling everyone that X sucks, and then disappearing to let the arguments flow. Seems almost like he's crusading against anyone who prefers X, and it's getting a little tiresome. I think he's started/necro'd something like 4-5 threads on the same topic now, and I don't *think* he's replied back to any of them; he just announces who sucks and then disappears. Either he just wants to spread his own True Roleplayer gospel without having actual discussions, or he's deliberately trying to start arguments. Can't really tell which.

How should situations like this be handled by the community? Is it acceptable to make/revive multiple threads on the same topic across multiple forums? If not, what's the appropriate flag? Breaks Other Guidelines? I feel like none of the flagging options really communicate "the reason this post is a problem is because it's one of many that the author is putting up all over the forums". What's the right course of action?

not sure if there is anything that can be done about it Jiggy... other than maybe to point it out in the threads he's starting/necroing?

And not knowing his circumstances, I cannot judge if he has a bad/intermittant computer connection, or something weird about his personal habits... perhaps he can only connect for a few minutes each hour? but you would think he would at least check to see what responses his posts were drawing when he got back on, and comment on those responses...

If you come across this problem, the best way to let us know is to let us know who it is and what the threads are in an email to webmaster@paizo.com. Flagging as "Breaks Other Guidelines" is also appropriate.

thank you Chris!

It's this guy, with a grand total of 6 posts ever made. Of those, these two are threads he started (one more antagonistic than the other, both declaring the superiority of his own preferences).

He also did a two-year necro here to make the same assertion.
