A recommendation of Digitan's was to put Steelersfan1693's posts under moderator preview, and I'm in agreement with that decision. (His posting history up to this point would suggest why.) I raised his warn level, set the preview to 14 days, and sent him a PM:

Staff members have noticed an excessive amount of crossposting (posting the same message in multiple threads all across the forum) and necroposting (bringing up topics that have been inactive for long periods of time, usually without worthy enough content to do so). The forum community generally disapproves of these posting behaviors.
For this reason, we've placed your account under moderator preview for two weeks, meaning that future posts up until that time will not be publicly visible unless they are given a staff member's seal of approval. This is to clear the air should the next few posts start to look like the last several, as well as to support a positive transformation in that regard.
Best wishes,
–Weregoose
I'll start watching out for posts that need to be filtered. |

Apparently, Steelersfan1693 thought that copying a whole thread from Cemetech and then dumping almost 2000 lines' worth of content into one post (from the Deal or No deal help topic) was a fine idea. Following that, he necroposted to a 4-year-old topic with nothing but the original post's content. I warned him and sent him a PM:
Quote: Well, here we are again. I'd first tell you that it's not okay to flood a topic with a thousand lines of text, and secondly that it's not acceptable to post to a 4-year-old topic whilst contributing absolutely nothing to the discussion, but I believe that you already know these rules from past experiences, right?
Either you become acquainted with the rules of this board and start behaving more like a member—and less like a spambot—or we'll have to start setting up some restrictions on your account. Try hard to appear like someone who wants to be able to post here, rather than someone who is carelessly tossing that opportunity out the window.
Thank you.

D'oh! What's with that guy? I guess I could throw another necroposting PSA out there for the new members since we've had a few other necroposts lately.
[edit] 12 hours later...
Looks like he's at it again. This time, multi-posting and messages that are only partly complete. I'm almost compelled to ask his age or main language because there seems to be trouble getting the message through for some reason.

I'm giving him one last chance to develop.

| Sounds like a good decision. It appears his double-posting habit has been a handful at Cemetech this month as well. |

Well, looks like the suspension didn't take after all. Don't know how that happened.
As it was unbeknownst to the audiences that he should be suspended (and seeing as this guy just got himself banned from Cemetech, so it probably doesn't matter that much), what say we call the suspension over and that he's hanging by his last thread (no pun intended)?
