Moderator: I've received multiple complaints about one particular user's persistent negativity on this forum, and I'm inclined to agree. It looks a lot like trolling, and certainly tends to have exactly the same effect. The user concerned has a few days' suspension to reconsider his approach to the forum. Further action will be taken if necessary.

I'm taking the unusual step of discussing it openly because the problems caused in recent months have been numerous and substantial, and I think there's a pervading sense of victimization [too melodramatic a word, I know, but I can't think of a more appropriate one at this time of the morning] in the Olympus Chat forum.

Daylight raids by users of other marques lobbing 'banter bombs' into the forum are, I'm afraid, just something everyone has to put up with. But genuine trolling and gratuitous disruption to the harmony of the forum is not acceptable, and persistent offenders can be banned permanently if necessary.
