For two months, the inhabitants of chat have been having to put up with an abusive member. It is not enough that we put him on ignore, he will spam the room with clones (whose entrances and exits are not ignored by the ignore feature), and does what he can to disrupt chat. We are told by our fellow Renderosity members to "suck it up", and "Isn't that what Ignore is for?", yet the slightest abusive comment on the forums recieves immediate response, whether a warning or a ban, depending on the abuser. Earlier this afternon, the abusive chatter was in the Chat Room... I had posted the URL to a forum thread asking for advice, and the abuser answered the thread with what I took as a personal attack. Since the abuser had been complained about countless times by various chatters, I contacted ClintH directly, and told him about both the Chat Room abuse and the comment on my thread. I was told that the Poser Forum Moderators should handle it. Shortly after, the abuser edited his post on my thread, hopefully at the request of one admin or another. My question is this... if the abuse is taking place in MORE THAN ONE place on the site, why should I direct my complaints to a moderator (not an admin) of only one section? And why is it that REPEATED complaints about this individual have only resulted in a couple of temporary bans, and not a permanent ban? He does nothing except log on and abuse individuals here in chat, and as we saw, started to do so in the forums. Is Chat a ghetto? Are we second class R'osity citizens? Do the admins not care about chat? Or is there only selective enforcement of the TOS, only in the Forums and galleries, to heck with chat? Anyone?
