This forum established after an incident of witch hunts and tracing attempts was observed to occur against students who spoke out on a topic others wanted silenced, on another forum. Our site is dedicated to those students.

> HOW ?????

Lukluk, skelim na bai yu luksave.

He has posted on almost every one of the forums, both mainstream and alternative. After awhile you can pick up the patterns of his postings.

He is mostly interested in posting on forums where there is activity and he can stir up interest that allows him to remain the dominant person, or even the bully.

On discussion forums where there is no activity, he puts on his posting, and waits. He quickly loses interest when no one challenges him.

Whenever the challenges are replies with substance, he replies, but when there is no further followup, he tends to give up. On discussion forums where there is no activity, his earlier postings always show visibly. That's all he is interested in, just to destroy people's reputations. His need is satisfied if only 1 posting is visible on each forum. He leaves it at that.

Sometimes he seems to flip out on this forum, more so than others. Although I have seen him act a bit crazy on Kami Wantoks Forum too. It's only these 2 forums where he sometimes is erratic.

On forums where there is more activity (like this one, but even more so the Kami Wantoks Forum), he posts repeatedly. More responses cause more postings from him that's obvious. It is impossible to stop people from responding to him on account of the number of people visiting these forums. Not at all like the low visitor forums.

In that case, the forum administrators can either let his postings go or take them off.

This forum has let the postings go uncensored. Do you notice that it never ends. The Kami Wantoks Forum has a regular policy of leaving his postings on a day or so, then wiping them off. It is like clockwork now. He not only gets no lasting attention from his hard work posting, but just like those who respond to him, it gets discouraging after awhile. If you notice, he has drifted away from Kami Wantoks Forum as the weeks of censorship have gone on without any comment or talk by the administrators. There's nothing to be gained by him in posting on Kami Wantoks Forum now when so quickly he sees his masterpieces disappear. He will continue posting on that forum, but not frequently. He tends to post at times when few people visit the forum, so his postings do not have that much impact.

Looking at all these trends the best solution seems to be what Kami Wantoks Forum does. Use censorship. Censorship is something to fight and abhor when it is used easily and without justification. However, it is obvious that not one person is against his postings being removed.

Advice: Firm, consistent, permanent censorship on a forum such as this one. On light visitor forums, just leave it.

NB: Tony Smare used a different tactic that also seemed to work. He confronted him, told him that the posting would be removed unless more substance was provided, waited about a week, then removed the posting. There has not been a reposting as of yet and it has been a few days already.

This curious person can be an interesting diversion from school work, just to observe the strange workings of his inner mind.
