I think if a new person makes some comment which you can clearly see is not constructive, then a warning should go to him via email, And then if they persist to make useless comments or attack fellow members then you just get rid of them. I mean people like sean and others who have spent their whole life in rgcc or other forums making, after a short while will not be able to help themselves, and they will post something that will show them out. I suspect a few people now have just come from rgcc since bob left and are making some comments in here which are niether constructive but are more on the negative side to just stir.
