Unfortunately, moderators don't have the rights to block anyone. It has been reported and hopefully an administrator will block the account soon.

I usually try to have some fun with those guys, I act like Im really interested and start spinning a story about how we should hang out and take our kids on a picnic and all kinds of dumb stuff. I can usually get them to play along for about 2-3 emails before they realize Im yankin' their chains but its worth a good laugh in the meantime. I hate those vultures so the more of their time I can waste the better.[laugh]

I dont get it. Someone mentioned that the moderators dont have the ability to block/ban them, well I question that. I have been banned quite a few times for some "constructive critiques" I have posted yet this yahoo gets away with spam. What gives? HAHAHA

A moderator can ban a member from posting on a board that the moderator is assigned to moderate; however, they can not block a member from sending PMs to fellow members. Only an administrator has the ability to do that.

No, it means we have to divvy up the loot that many more ways.
By the time the hotspotters ruin it, we'll all only be able to buy a pack of gum.
