Is it at all possible to ban someone who continually abuses this board with repetitive, inane posts? Especially if the individual has been warned numerous times by moderators and other members? Is it possible to do this, before the general demeanor of the other members is adversely affected?

the repitition alone is frustrating enough to make me cry. when i see 2 threads posted right on top of one another asking the exact same question, it is enough to make me never answer another post. notice how i didn't post in the non-pro forum for almost 2 weeks?

when people ask for advice but then lend you a deaf ear when you tell them they're going to have to work for results, it makes me hurt for them because they're going to waste a lot of money taking quick fix pills that do nothing but drain your wallet. we live in a world demanding instant gratification, but getting good, maintainable physical changes is not something that happens overnight. if people would learn that, half of the problem would be solved.
