Two reasons: - In many cases users are perfectly capable (or at least want) to handle this themselves. I don't want to deny them this opportunity. - With 100-200 messages each day I am not willing to read everything. Sometimes the bad messages are also a few pages down as they could be responses in old threads However the recent events convinced me that a bit more enforcing by moderators could be required when these vigilantes are not easily stopped. Meaning, warning them more actively than we have done so far. This could lead to a (temporary) ban of these people (after appropriate warnings of course) when they do not comply. Richard.
