Then why ban on pure guess or whim? Thats reckless and leads to innocent regular posters getting banned because of paranoia, leads to scaring away new posters from the forum if this becomes the norm. IP checks and reading behaviour in terms of similarity with banned posters/othe regulars is least one can expect (they arent Einsteins, they give themselves away eventually), over rash unfair banning others who have no reason to be suspected of being double accounts, except for low post account? Seriously flawed way to go about it.
Also seriously, I realize there's nuances to trolling that one needs to look out for, but infracting or banning for opinions is over the top. I would NOT be infracted for talking about Allegri and Conte like that guy did, regular stuff, so why should a new guy just becuase he has low post account? Its more prudent to act in moderating capacity with guidance from rules, aka insults/provocative/instigating or just down right heinous comments. But infracting for opinions and then also infracting for questioning said (lack of) reasons one got it shouldnt be reason enough to dole out even further.
Defenitely lots of jackass posters here who are childish and try or tried to be sly in their trolling by pushing buttons constantly (that used to be allowed or let slide because mods were too chummy with most offenders). And most of them have been dealt with very well and shown the boundary and that no one is untouchable, done mostly by you. Less of spamming/immature cesspool then it used to be.
But now examples like this is more and more noticeable around here and it derails some of the top work you did when it becomes more common posters get censored/banned for simply questionning or sharing an opinion? I know its easier to just assume the worst and react quickly, but it gets in too much of murky waters when instead of following/acting out on the set rules, instead go with "better safe then sorry" harsh overboard approach like this. Becomes pure subjective censorship thats bound to turn uglier and uglier IMO.
Just my 2 cents. Which I'm giving you since you arent paid enough

If he donates a lot of money which keeps this place running, fair enough. Otherwise, what are you doing? I had to read some pages in this thread to find a post of his to reply to, and in the process found a lot of posters complaining about him just being entirely indiscriminate with the banning powers. At least two of them had +10k posts and mentioned "the old mods" implying that they've been here for a while, so clearly it's not just me who has an issue with him.
