Out of that number we have a handful who *appear* to have an agenda here that even transcends constructive criticism. Personally I don't care if they're paid shills, diehard Nokia haters or just sociopathic forum joyriders but I have a big problem with letting a tiny, screaming, effusive minority damage the otherwise beautiful tenor of this forum.

To that end, I wish for a slight change to moderation, ie, that a pattern of bad behavior means as much as if not more than certain obvious violations.

I really believe that handling these few toxic human singularities will go a long way toward minimizing noise and restoring decorum to the forum. I'm disappointed they have been allowed to persist with no obvious repercussions despite flagrant poisoning of the place...
Here's a thought... can we make a probationary period on new accounts creating a new thread? If someone couldn't sign up and make a thread the same minute, it would probably filter out some of the trolls and noise.
