Having been in politics some time i must admit that i am starting to dislike
those who just are busy making more and more rules. The only result is that no
one will use those rules unless someone can use such a rule to his own
advantage. That's the classical problem in european politics nowadays.

Especially when the state has to follow its own rules they really go to far.
After speaking for 1 year with 2nd chamber (comparable with congress in USA),
and province members (comparable with state politics) it still will take years
to correct something where all political parties agree now more or less that it
is wrong, except of course national health care. They are just counting bodies
and are not convinced unless a major amount of bodies shows up.

Now you propose to make for a small forum more and more rules, just meant to
control 1 person, who is very recognizable right now which i prefer. It will be
real bad when he starts to spell better, which he sure will do when you force
him.

Take Rolf Tueschen, the CCC was supported by Hyatt to get created in order to
get rid of Rolf Tueschen. Just do some search on google on tueschen + hyatt.

Now you want to create new rules for a single member which i *can* very easily
recognize now thanks to his spelling of english, even worse than mine.

If you accept new rules and stick to them, this person will like Rolf Tueschen
learn how to fall within the rules meanwhile still writing the same crazy
nonsense.

Yet others will be a victim of it when some moderator person X dislikes a person
Y. No way to escape then.

I find this a bad idea.

Note that most here somehow recognize easier a person than some engine playing
under a different name. I'm amazed by that.
