Did you try talking it over with the guy first before you escalated things?

This reminds me of a story Ulysses Grant told about Confederate General Braxton Bragg:

Bragg was commandant of a fort out west before the Civil War.  The fort's quartermaster died, so Bragg took over both functions.
As quartermaster, he put in a requisition to the commandant to purchase some supplies.
As commandant, he denied his own request.
As quartermaster, he appealed to the Departmental commander for arbitration.
The General replied: "Bragg, you've started a fight with every officer in the army, and now you have started a fight with yourself!
I recommend settling it with a duel!"

I'll bet he put in an order for pistols and then turned down the order for powder.  :wink:

Umm... I don't think I reported myself to the Mod Squad.  :wink:

All I did was accidentally click on the report button and I got a message back saying "You can't report your own post to the moderators: that doesn't make sense!"

Try it on one of your own posts and see  :teddyr:

Well, now that I know about it, how long do you believe you should be banned for?

P.S. Sorry about letting the spam hang around, as noted it's a hassle for me to get on here nowadays.

Not having mods can be annoying in spam terms,  but too many mods and too much moderation can be far worse. At least we don't have the kind of moderators they have on (spit)  RPG.net.  you have no idea how terrible that place is on excessive moderation.  This ljc pretty much fairly represents RPG.net moderation and moderators.

Cleaned up the recent spam. However, it's likely they'll just register a new account using a new name, email and IP.
