Posted By: <b>Kyle</b><p>Hey Leon,<br /><br />I'm guessing that every time Sean comes back, he has to re-register. With that said, how many different names has he used?<br /><br />Also, how many new users sign up each day? Perhaps it'd be worth implementing an approval process for new users. A 24-48 hour time frame to approve all new users should be enough, but I say that not knowing how many sign up each day.<br /><br />Maybe something to consider.<br />-Kyle<br />

My only question
 

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>It seems clear to me that Sean realizes that the majority of persons here are generally displeased regarding his posts. However, I am less convinced that he knows why that is. For example, he terms his former posting as "naughty", and asks "What can i talk about.......and what CANT i talk about.......".<br /><br />No one has responded to this inquiry.<br /><br />It is not reasonable to expect a person to conform to a behavior pattern which has not been identified to him, in terms adequate for him to understand. Has he been adequately appraised of how we view the behavior which he terms naughty?<br /><br />If not, then I agree, ban him.<br />

My only question
 

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>The whole naughty thing came from me asking him about "did his parents know he was posting on an adult chat board?". His answer was that as long as there isn't anything naughty then it's ok. We really don't have naughty stuff on here besides the occasional picture of me...That's pretty naughty but probably not what his parents were thinking. Also, just as any other poster should read a few threads and read the forum rules, Sean should be able to understand the nature of the board the same way. The rules are there for a reason and the top of this page also says what we are about. My 10yr old would know immediately and I feel Sean does too. Last time he kept posting what I told him not to so I did ban him. Hopefully this time it won't come to the same conclusion.....regards

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>Leon,<br /><br />At the point in time that Sean inquired regarding his apparent uncertainty about behavior which we find acceptable:<br /><br />July 13 2007, 1:34 PM <br />What can i talk about.......and what CANT i talk about.......<br /><br />It seems that he was unclear about how to proceed. Perhaps I am mistaken. But there is no point in torturing him and us if the main problem is that he does not understand what is acceptable behavior. And yes Leon, clearly the rules are written, and I just read them. Now I'll admit that reading is my second language, but I do not see where the rules state that you can not ask about what is the best, most costly, oldest, rarest and all other superlatives applied to pre-war baseball cards.<br /><br />Frankly Leon, I am unclear about what written rule Sean previously broke. I do not believe that the rules are written to include the thinking of pre-teens. And why would they be?<br /><br />Can you successfully tell a 12 year old to not be impetuous? Inquisitive? Impulsive?<br /><br />I applaud your hospitality with Sean, Leon, and your understanding, patience and tolerance; but until he understands that what is required of him is a maturity which he does not yet have, we are simply facing Round 2. Its your domain, I can walk away when I want to. And my opinion is just that of one man.<br /><br />Enjoy and be well,<br />Gil<br />

Posted By: <b>Alan</b><p>One thing to keep in mind is that are very few kids in this hobby, much less ones collecting vintage cards. Ten years from now, he might be one of Mastro's best customers. Who knows.

My only question
 

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>I agree. The kid should be given a much wider berth than the average poster out here. And I can't recall a time in which we've held a referendum on whether a poster should be banned (at least since Elmer J. Fudd, woops, I mean Adam J. Moraine) -- despite the fact that there are way more obnoxious and annoying posters. So why do it to him just because he can't fight back?

My only question
 

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>As seen in my other post I hope no one gets banned. God knows I have wanted to ban a few folks a few times, and still will if I deem it necessary for the welfare of the board (or possibly my sanity). I feel this was a relevent topic since most of us know what happened last time. We gave an inch and Sean (hi Sean) took a mile...then another. I agree we need to be more lenient and not less....and that is the way I proceeded last time as it will be this time....The more collectors the better....I hope Sean reads the rules, follows them, and becomes a fine young collector like the several teenagers on the board...regards all

Posted By: <b>Jerry</b><p> I generally Dislike Kids, especially adolescence boys. You will understand when you get old. They don't respect their elders and when you are nice to them they don't usually show any gratitude. They have to much and don't appreciate it. Their noisy too. <br /> I got (2) 12 yr olds living behind me that have figured out how to make an everyday firecracker sound like a Cannon. <br />I vote to Ban
