I don't think this problem will ever fully go away, but the more mature and helpful people we have, the easier it will be for us to maintain a welcoming and stimulating environment. How long someone has been here really doesn't mean jack. Some people are always going to be asses. I just hope that some of our elder statesmen will have the patience to stick through it and help make things better.
I agree with many of these comments and though it might be unrealistic, I want the Bungie.net forums to be friendly to newcomers without alienating the olde timers. It's going to be tough, but hopefully through some messaging/training, discipline and help from a crack team of moderators, we can make a dent.
And Yoozel, I already told you that your moderator powers will be restored as soon as I finish the top secret moderator book of hands that I'm working on. However, you will have to venture into the Underground, as that's where moderation is needed the most.
When I see crap like the example that was posted, I delete the post and send a warning to the user. We have better tools now so we can blacklist anyone with the click of a button and we can set how long they are on "time out" for. A formal "three strikes" system might be hard to do, but I think we can do a decent job as long as our moderators are all communicating. (yes, I need to go approve stosh's chapter.. I'll do that right after I hit 'submit')
