Banning? is there realistically any point?

What about this troll that comes here every Saturday night? He posts alot in a short space of time and always tries to discredit escorts here. He mentions the same names every week. If we didn't ban him he would be posting his nonsense all over the place.

well the escorts names always get edited if mentioned thats the worst he does, but he comes back anyway banned or not. the other nonense like last nite for example we can either just ignore or add comment too. the editing disempowers his intent wheras banning seems to be like sweeping under the carpet, a short term fix.

yes but the pattern in itself confirms he is a troll. If he was not banned, then some readers who are new to E-I or not regular readers, might actually believe the lies the troll says. Banning him is confirmation from mods and regulars that he/she is indeed a lier and troublemaker. Once confirming this troll behaviour, then newby readers will know that the girl being talked about is genuine and respected. If you let the troll shit all over the place, you will be letting innocent escorts be unnecessarily attacked.
