I have banned Tommy.
He was banned from some specific areas of the site already, i.e. the Ladies forum. But he's now banned from the entire site.
Tommy was never able to get past the fact that he had offended lots of people with what read to almost everyone as being misogynist and sexist posts. And after he was banned for that he had a permanent chip on his shoulder and took to expressing this by trolling me or proclaiming that the site was being censored, and, well... it all went a bit weird, I can't follow his reasoning well enough but I think I'm an evil person for censoring posts that in his opinion were not offensive, etc.
I have a lot of patience, and prior to the switchover to the new version I had shown him non-identifying fragments of some of the many reports his posts had warranted. I had hoped he might see how much of a prat he was being, and that things would return to some semblance of normality. This didn't happen.
In the past 2 weeks as his trolling increased, he's been banned from a few specific parts of the site. Again in the hope that if he could just get back on topic that it might be OK.
Today I've banned him from the site. It's now obvious that Tommy isn't going to stop trolling and acting like a prat, as he doesn't even seem to know he's doing so.
