Members-

From time to time disruptive people show up on the planet seeking attention. They seek attention by being as annoying and obnoxious as they can. They do this because they haven't yet learned more appropriate, socially acceptable ways of seeking attention. It is very important that you completely ignore such unacceptable behavior. Please, do not start threads discussing what an ass the attention-seeker is, etc. Do not discuss or make any reference to the person or their behavior. If you must discuss it, do so by pm with Alex or one of the moderators. Attention-seekers will only be motivated to learn more appropriate ways of seeking attention when less appropriate ways fail completely. Your help in these matters will benifit the entire community and will be greatly appreciated by all.

-Thanks

Yeah, I had put this in the members only discussion to minimize giving attention for undesirable behavior.

I noticed at least one person who commented in your thread also posted in one of the
resent "attention seekers" threads. Seems we are going to have to start requiring members to ignore such threads and not merely asking them to.

Frankly, I think they want to create trouble. I don't want them here ever. If I was the admin, I would delete their accounts, and look into setting a cookie to ban their computer.
