I run a small model railroad forum and I found that the best tool for dealing with those who cause trouble is putting that person on moderation for a time, where their posts have to be approved before they become public.  I don't know if the Forum software here allows it, so it might not be feasible here.  I have only ever banned blatant spammers and have only deleted a handful of posts in 7+ years.  However, it is a small forum...

The Wisdom of bagginsbill:

"Oh - the manual says that? I have never read the manual - this must be why."
“I could buy better software, but then I'd have to be an artist and what's the point of that?"
"The [R'osity Forum Search] 'Default' label should actually say 'Don't Find What I'm Looking For'".
