Quite a few sucessful forums have this type of policy, where the Mods only get involved if something awful is said.
But this also might give free-reign to LW to post whatever he wants,when he wants. Some might say he already does this.

It's clear that whoever is managing LW, or if he is managing himself, he's been given a free role on this forum.
He constantly attacks, but without too much success, but is also keen to defend if another player tries to attack him. This defensive style that he uses, contrastable to that of the 'catenaccio' style is often highly effective in gaining sympathy for himself, but defending too deeply like this(as is often seen by his use of emotional words) can cause more trouble for himslef on the forum.
As Winston differs between offence and attack, depending on the opponent(A fixture against a prolific poster like Noddyinnapa will see him defend), he constantly confuses other opponents, and lulls them into a false sense of security. Over the past few days, Winston has attacked aggressively, and defended vigorously, throwing many words behind his posts in order to try and stifle his opponent posters.
However, his defending over the past few days has been criticised by the mass media as being unorganised, and leaving no space for him to counter-attack. Against many opposition, he has often found himself backed into a corner, trying desperately to defend, but without success. LA Metros' trouncing of Winston in yesterday's evening kick off was just a recent example of Winston's nieve tactics.
With time ticking on Winston's future on this fourm, many people eagerly await his next tactical move.....

Nice comparsion to what's happening here Tommi.
I do not know what the right thing to do if I was admin about LW. But, unless someone puts me in that position. It luckily does not have to be made by me.

Thinking of one in particular Josh? Got the best mod in the world on that forum 
And I think people should just ignore a poster that gets to them, it is unfair to keep singling him out as there are many posters that annoy me a lot more than he does.
|
Although the poster who annoys you more than LW, might not annoy many other people. So this would be your own opinion.
Do you ignore this poster(s) as you said in your post before?
|
Yeah, I'm sure everyone gets annoyed by at least someone, that's life! But it makes a lot better atmosphere for a forum if you don't attack that poster every time they post.
I don't think singling members out in topic titles is good either, thats hardly going to help! Acknowlege them if they make a good post and ignore them if them make a stupid post.

Well after last evenings run of defeats where all posts we're easily cleared without hassle from the forum defenders resulting in a few counter attacks which resulted in goals as Winston could not defend.
This resulted in Winston coming out for the 0-0 bore draw against the highly rated noddyinnapa outfit where he could do nothing but block but lots of other people came in for the easy tap in leaving the Winston line up demoralised, it is almost certain relegation from the senior leagues for Winston and he may also struggle in this league. With no qualifications and no future prospects it will be hard to pay the bills and I can see them sinknig to the bottom of this league very quickly. |

Perhaps if we don't discuss LW all the time it would benefit the forum?

He seems to be the focus of arguements, even if he isn't involved!

That's OK Josh.
One more word out of you, and I'll knight you rather clumsily with this meat cleaver.
