You cant IP ban b/c BalugaWhale lives in the same house as him. Probably same IP address

Some more rambling thoughts:

Evenkeal is harmless and provides entertainment.

Yves is hilarious and provides entertainment. I actually like him a lot as a poster and he does bring a lot of good things to the forum (humor, strategy, etc).

But him and his lemmings make it incredibly difficult to moderate. They have basically no respect for any type of moderation in bbv and set the example for lesser known posters in pushing the envelope/rules (which eventually led to the culling of bbv/citanul). It doesn't help when other mods encourage this behaviour and make my job much harder. (Maybe Kyleb can have some input here too as I'm sure he disagrees with a lot of what I'm saying).

This is why he's ban on sight, and I don't think it matters if we give him one more chance or 100 more chances at this point.

Ex: yves pushes existing rules to the limit, people think it is hilarious and so everyone starts doing it. Then I have to be the bad guy and start cracking down. Then he finds a new line to cross and the same thing happens. It's a stupid game of cops and robbers and I really don't want to play it anymore.

BBV/BBV4l is the most highly trafficked it has ever been and everyone is happy and I have had basically zero problems since Citanul's culling/Adanthar's arrival. I am enjoying moderating again. I really don't want to go back to the way things were before when I was starting to hate moderating bbv and things were spiraling out of control.

On a sidenote, I would consider bringing him back if we gave it some more time but he would have to really change and judging by his posts it doesn't really look like anything has, except maybe he has kept a lower profile on who to insult.
