    In fairness, it has been well commented on before that the reason they are "the only people who bother to post in his forum" is for the reason they were banned.

    So full marks to the Mods in this case.

    Perhaps. Seems draconian to me.

    I don't know. It seems harsh... harsh but fair that is.

    As someone who goes to UCD and reads the board regularly I have noticed the large amount of spam that goes on, but to be honest it never struck me as something that could be stopped.

    I think it is the right decision to make a point in such a dramatic a way as this, but its teh internets - you're banking on the fact that people care about your authority and the threat of being banned (when they can just go and make a new a/c straight away) to stop them from using the forum as an IRC channel. And, in all honesty, theres no reason for them not to.

    Voila, my 2 cents.
