"I would require that each person be informed by the mod account exactly why they're being banned, and the same of the Powers That Be when someone is banned from the site. In the latter case, an e-mail that says something along the lines of "Your moves matched up to Fritz in these 4 games" or "this is the person you were found to be harassing" or whatever. In the case of forum bans, a simple "this is what you did that earned the ban" would be nice. I'd also periodically remind people that warnings are a courtesy and not a requirement.
Really, that's it." "About @pawnhandler: Last moved 1791 days 12 hours and 7 minutes ago."

I told him that there was no moderation in the forums and just removing posts lets the abusive poster do it again and again.
I received no reply on this.
Perhaps make this appeal publically in the Site Ideas Forum. I'll support it if you do.

Without active moderation, problems like this are never going to go away.

The majority of the problem posts are generated by nonsubs who are clearly not here to play chess. Moderation of these problems has been and remains an abysmal failure.
1. Limiting access to forums to subscribers would only mitigate not eliminate the problem.
2. Eliminating the forums entirely would be like "throwing the baby out with the bath water".
3. ...[text shortened]... I would be concerned for the karmatic repercussions of continuing on in this negative situation.
Maybe if a forum user receives more than certain number of negative votes,
this could be a parameter for a .... temporal ban of 1 month
