Ban Quinton!

[stash]

He's a troll and AFAIK, trolling is againt the PG (it certainly should be). I don't have a problem with someone having an opinion on something, but he repeatedly starts useless threads to "support" his opinion, which is pretty well known to everyone by now.

Most importantly, I have yet to see Quinton offer helpful advice to anyone (at least in the OS forum). The OS forum is not just for debating Windows vs. Linux vs. Mac ad nauseum. Some people don't care about silly OS-as-religion debates, and are looking for help or advice on something OS related. There are plenty of opportunities for posters to make positive, helpful comments, but I have not seen any from Quinton.

My 2c.

Agreed.

I don't like the way Quinton jumps in on just about every Vista thread with the same FUD, but I can't say it's ban-worthy.

I'm on the fence...he's entitled to his opinions, but when he jumps into virtually any vista thread, no matter the topic, and turns it into a flame war with his outright lies and misinformation, it begins to really become a serious issue. It was cute for a while, but now there's more and more of a possibility of people believing his BS, and perhaps he deserves a temporary vacation to reconsider hijacking any and every thread, or at least a warning to stay on topic or create his own threads.

Well, one can contribute to forums in many ways.
Technical questions
Technical advice
Technical discussions
Off topic versions of the above, personal life, issues, etc
Humor
Etc

When one only brings junk, as in, not being funny, not asking anything special, not contributing anything special, not helping anyone, and so on, then said person is just bringing a negative effect as a whole, and why should such a person stay in the forums?

Exactly. People have been banned for much less.
