I ask these two questions
1) Are they a nice person?
2) Are their contributions valuable?
If the answer to both is no, then they are HP.
I think this is a reasonably good guide. I'm perfectly willing to put up with a jerkish poster so long as they contribute. What I cannot stand is a poster who is a) a jerk, and b) doesn't add anything.
Thoughts?
Yeah that's a fair guide. Though for me they have to at least pass 1. 2 is probably 50/50-ish I guess, I wouldn't consider Oldies a FF for example despite probably passing 1 for example but I might do it for others. HP seems a pretty hard term, the IRC brigade should stop being so hard.
