In general I don't like to permanently ban posters unless it's for something egregious. Gilbert is incredibly annoying, yes, but he does occasionally make relevant posts, though, admittedly, those are few and far between. But, his constant off-topic and attention-seeking posting that derails threads is getting out-of-hand at this point and is a problem that can't continue in perpetuity, I don't disagree with that. We've already given him several short-term bans to attempt to deter him from this behaviour, though these do not seem to have had the desired effect. If he continues, the next step is to give him longer-term bans, including possibly permanent, which we'll consider soon.

I've set up a poll on the Gilbert Question to gauge the opinions of the board's users on this issue, which we'll take into consideration. It would be helpful if people would vote in this: https://strawpoll.com/w4nWrN0kNyA
