I agree.  While it may be annoying, it is his right as part of the guidelines of this forum and as of the first amendment.  That's why I try to stay away from the "BRTD bashing marathon" we seem to be in.

This topic is completly in jest, and some ways a BRTD thread itself

There is no first amendment here.  We are all guests.

But I agree he should not.

I've heard few better suggestions in my time here. He's shown he can be a valuable contributor, but honestly 90%+ of the threads he starts are garbage.

Mod review would be better.

Completely unnecessary.

He makes way too many inane threads, but he's not forcing anyone to read them, respond, participate, or even acknowledge his existence period (ignore him). And if you -really- think he's going over the edge, report him to a mod and let them decide.

Certainly not.  But you should be censured for your offensive screen name, ghoul.

No, he just shouldn't be allowed to make threads. Or heck, I'd be satisfied if he couldn't make polls.

hahaha . . . the jerk in me agrees!  However, that's not practical.  There are a few forums I know where they limit the number of threads you can start, limits the number of times you can post within a predetermined time limit, etc.  I personally think the amount of time BRTD wastes on here on posts/polls/topics that no one reads can be used in creating an online business so he can make more money.  I know I'd be doing that if I had that much idle time on my hands.

That's completely ridiculous Jedi.  The list of those who should be on mod review contain many names before his. 

Here's an idea....place him on ignore or simply ignore his stuff.

Selling what?  People don't just buy one's opinions or commentary.

I know this thread is meant to be a joke but let's remember that people like Jamespol are still running around free on here before knocking BRTD.

Let me do some discussions with Dave, and I might roll out an opportunity for people here to take advantage of.
