| No! he shouldn't: free speach is a great good, even when it produces only repetition of the same noise. |

affirmo1314 seems to be a very likeable chap: he never disagrees with anyone, doesn't use offensive or insulting language. he's the ideal forumite...?
affirmo1314's posts are all alike: he only says ..., i agree with your words. his only objective seems to be to post the link to his site, visible in big letters as 'signature', everywhere on the forum. affirmo is a common spammer
affirmo1314 messes up the board by creating noise, bringing old posts above that haven't been looked at or answered in ages, confusing people with serious travel questions by letting them think someone seriously replied to their posts... affirmo is a nuisance
well.. i guess there are several other ways to describe the bugger's characteristics. i stop here. the only thing i want is an opinion: should affirmo be banned or not? |

| This should be a no-brainer. WTR has an anti-spam policy and should stick to it. affirmo is obviously a spammer. |

| Blocking this character would be a fairly obvious choice. |

Holy shit! I just used the "find all posts by this user" option and ALL OF HIS POSTS are "(insert username here) I totally agree with you" or "(insertusername) here I completely agree with your words"
Lol, it is actually pretty funny. But there is no reason to ban him. He is "voicing his opinion"...of support.

He is a pain in the butt, contributes nothing and is a spammer.  |

as you guys all noticed from his profile that his occupation is a statistican. maybe he is just making a research for his work and trying to annoy as many people as possible and then is gonna keep statistics about the result and the consiquences in his report or whatever he is working on!
never mind... it's just a wild guess...  |

Affirmo is one of my favorite posters. Clearly you haven't noticed that he is fairly selective with his affirmations. He's chosen some funny responses to affirm.
And you've gotta love his positive attitude and his brevity. I can't believe that you'd even consider continuing to tolerate the specious drivel leaking from Wu/romeo/dumkoff and contrarily ban someone as upbeat as affirmo.
I'm ever amazed at the level of inanity tolerated on this website. |

i was definitely hoping for that... it'd be the perfect way to end his 'career' as 'conceptual artist' on this forum |

I think we need affirmo's evil twin.
"negativo1413"
He will say things like
"(username), I completely disagree with your argument"
and
"(username), you are so full of shit!"

Vic, I completely disagree with your argument. You should burn!
Affirmo is just a web bot that spams to promote the URL in his signature. It's not a real person, although I am completely smitten with the idea of "Affirmo as conceptual artist!" L M A O |

For God's sake, you are talking about this affirmo as if it was a person.
It is just a software robot that crawls the web looking for forums in which to post its advertising links. This is not a person, it is a piece of software. Get rid of it and please DELETE ALL OF THE POSTS made by this name.
Thank you. |
