I have a bit of an odd question so I hope this is the right place to ask.
If there is a poster who is very regular, posts pretty much every day on a variety of threads, is helpful, clever, knows lots of stuff, and not confrontational or a trouble maker in any way - except that they also, from time to time, make things up (perhaps for attention or whatever) - would they still be banned for this?
It's not me, I promise. I just wondered whether someone's general level of useful contributions would extenuate any less helpful behaviour - or it might be written off as a 'they are usually great, give them a slap on the wrist' type of thing?
I've been reporting this person's (to me, obviously) made up posts and threads for a few weeks and I don't think anything has happened, clearly most of their posts are normal/genuine, which makes it harder to gauge how trust worthy they are.
Should something be done? Or should they get to stick around for being 'normal' most of the time?
I think trolls often just troll, and don't contribute much, but when you have someone who does it for kicks and then reverts, what's the answer?
