XPT is a board that beats its young to death "for their own good" and then wonders why there is nobody around to take over. But that's another problem for another day.

Let's deal with Raoul first. Raoul Duke is Eric Cartman – he is annoying, he makes it impossible for you to ignore him, he will not listen and he will not stop. Fuck him.

I am strictly a small-time poster. After lurking here for two years or so I thought I should register but mostly I lurk. It is time for me to speak up. I am 100% certain that I speak for every single unregistered lurker when I say that the choice between banning Raoul or letting Raoul stay and saying goodbye to posters like Gia, Ceara, Bornyo, Jamesn and others is no choice at all. I cannot believe that this is the way things are going, apparently with Mr Steward's blessing.

From what I understand, the ethos of this board is to have little, preferably zero moderation but there comes a time when doing nothing doesn't work and a quick surgical decision is needed to get things back on track. Now is that time. Ban Raoul Duke for a year. If his thoughts are so important to you go and read them at ADT. Can somebody please make this happen?
