Actually, I reported him at AAC, and Bertus responded by PM. AAC was aware of the problem with his just previous incarnation (watsongrey) and have diminished his activity significantly without invoking a ban, which tells him he needs to re-register. It sounded kind of devious and clever to me, and I will keep an open mind and see what works best. My bias is toward banning and blacklisting, which AAC. EP, ETO, and EDABoard could actually collaborate on.

The administrator could set up a global ignore list for such users (or just add them to everybody's ignore list). Then they can just wonder why no-one's replying to their incessant posts.
The username of each unwanted user is added to a global ignore list. I meant global to ETO (i.e. across ETO / all ETO users), not every site. Even add a few views to each of their posts, so that it's not so obvious that they're being actively ignored.The issue is that this user creates new accounts, each using different IP addresses. For example, we could ban an IP address but he would just create a new account with a new IP. A global ignore list wouldn't work for several reasons - We would have to base it on the username, which can be changed, or the IP, which can also be changed.
It amuses/puzzles/confuses me the way people pander to Walters/BillyMayo/watsongrey.

For the reasons jpanhalt pointed out, above.We just ban them whenever we see them, and reports from members who have suspicions is certainly appreciated. How would ignoring the user's posts individually be better than banning them?

Banning him just gives him a signal to create a new persona.
Block his ISP address accessing ETO, as I wanted to do some months ago.
