New poster

Dennis (Resident Troll). In Keene, New Hampster.
I think you have good ideas, but no real way of making it happen.
found you all on google…where else?
 My opinion is, don't antagonize, you'll go alot further.

Someone was a little heavy on the ban trigger.  RT should have been warned about his inappropriate reporting of posts prior to a ban.  I have unbanned him.

Really?  A one day ban for spamming the inbox of every mod with reports on obviously typical (i.e. not spam) posts was trigger happy?  I consider a one-day ban to be a warning.  Gives him the rest of the day to think about what would actually warrant a report and puts a stop to them in the meantime.

For once I agree with Dale. It's not like the poster didn't know he was being an asshole by looking at his 17 posts - many of them needlessly bumping old threads.

I agree.  Sorry.  When I saw his first post, I clicked his name and saw he was banned due to the reported posts.  I did not see that the ban was only a day until later when I read these posts.  I agree with your choice.

Wow.  Agreeing with me is really that rare?

Hi Dennis.  Welcome to the forum. 

If "good ideas" are in abundance, then the "real way of making it happen" can't help but reveal itself sooner or later.

Try to find it now instead of waiting for someone else to do it.  What kind of life do you want to lead, anyway?
