The mods should be able to do an IP lookup to see where he’s posting from, but IMHO it’s not needed to send him packing. He seems to think his opinion is the only possible correct one, which is often the case with immature troll posters. Add me to the choir chanting for a ban on this tool.
Yeah do an IP look-up buddy! I pray for your sake you're not in the same jurisdiction if you try and dox me! Next!

Leave the guy alone.
If he is really a troll, or whatever bad guy you think he is, ignore him and he’ll go away...

Fwiw, I like Hans, and think many here need to remember that this forum isn't just for the present members.

He asked me to delete his account because of the response from many here, but I'd prefer he stick around and that the rest of the forum lighten up. Not everyone is a cookie cutter copy of your ideal forum participant.

New Blood is definitely good, always nice to get some new opinions and members from different areas with different interests. And it's key to allow new members to find their feet and not dog-piling and hazing them.

Having said that, it's a bit like showing up in a neighbourhood bar that has a bunch of regulars. Come in, and start talking over everyone and trying to manipulate every conversation, people are likely going to take notice. Not in a good way.

He got some pushback and now he's packing up his toys and going home. :shrug: If he'd said "Sorry guys, did want to come off like a jerk, let me start over" I think that would have been a great approach.

Right now, no great loss.

The IP address comment looked like a threat, but I’m not 100% on what he meant. Either way he was more annoying than I could be even if I tried.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to accomplish with your defense of this guy, but he deserved the negative attention.

He seemed like a classic 4chan guy based on some of his comments and the terminology he used, not to mention he linked the site in his profile at one point. Not good, not bad...just weirdly different.

I missed that comment but it’s in line with my assumption that he’s a young kid trolling and looking for attention.

Had a feeling from his "too descriptive" original signature on the first day he wouldn't be around long.

I’ve heard of 4chan but have no idea what it is. I think I’m glad I don’t know.

4chan is an English-language imageboard website. Users generally post anonymously, with the most recent posts appearing above the rest. 4chan is split into various boards with their own specific content and guidelines. Registration is not possible (except for staff).

Launched on October 1, 2003, the site was modeled on Japanese imageboards, particularly Futaba Channel. 4chan's first boards were originally primarily used for posting pictures and discussing manga and anime. The site quickly became popular, expanded, and now features boards dedicated to a wide variety of topics, from anime/manga to videogames, music, literature, fitness, politics, and sports.

The site has been linked to Internet subcultures and activism groups, most notably Anonymous, the alt-right and Project Chanology.[3][4][5] 4chan users have been responsible for the formation or popularization of Internet memes such as lolcats, Rickrolling, "Chocolate Rain", Pedobear, and many others. The site's "Random" board, also known as "/b/", was the first board to be created, and is the one that receives the most traffic.[6][7] The Random board has minimal rules on posted content. Gawker once jokingly claimed that "reading /b/ will melt your brain".[8] The site's anonymous community and culture have often provoked media attention.

4chan users have been instrumental in pranks such as hijacking Internet destinations to cause images of Rick Astley to appear in place of their content, coordinating attacks against other websites and Internet users, and posting threats of violence in order to elicit individual and public reactions. The Guardian once summarized the 4chan community as "lunatic, juvenile ... brilliant, ridiculous and alarming".[9]
