This is a great thread and I don't want Hugh fucking it up, especially when there's not even any content in his post.

At present, Hugh is allowed one pork-injection per thread. Should we start simply removing posts? I can't say I entirely object to the idea, but it's Jeff's call.

I think that post is nothing but disruption, and deletion is warranted.

Hugh began a complaint thread regarding the deletion of his post, which I decided to firepit. Hope no one minds.

My two cents:

This is what Hugh does.

Having Hugh on this board and expecting him to not do what he's doing in this thread is like the frog expecting the scorpion to not sting him.

He's been warned countless times, and he's been banned multiple times, and yet, here he is again doing what he does.

As much as I hate to say it, maybe it's time to permanently cut ties with Hugh.

Either that, or just let him do his thing and treat him like the board mascot, or the crazy uncle.

IMO, allowing him to post and constantly moderating him is creating more of a disruption than either of the other two options I mentioned:

1) Just letting him do his thing.

2) Permanently banning him.

I'm more okay right now with simply enforcing the rules than with banning him outright. Faint Praise Ahead: I think he's been far more disruptive in the past, and more deserving of a ban, than he is currently.
