I debated for a while about whether or not to post this ... and ultimately decided on "What the hell."
I wanna say first that I'm not trying to make any enemies, piss anyone off, or take sides... I'm making an observation.

Nobody is perfect, not even moderators, because behind that title sits a human being, who is just as fallable as I am

I know he isn't a mod, but does this rule of fallibility apply to Conker Rocket?
Sure, you'll probably barrage me with everything you've said about protecting the level of quality in these forums from trolls with nothing better to do ... but does that justify calling another human being, who is just as fallible as you, a troll who wants lisence to act like a moron. And you assume that he, if he were truly a nine-year-old, would be a collector of yu-gi-oh cards, typing in txt-spk, and improperly using (or completely omitting) commas.
I appreciate that you are looking out for OWF's image, even if only to make sure you look good via association to the forums, and I agree with you on this point. I don't feel that inexperienced people who tend to waste the time of serious forumers should be allowed to impede upon a forum's high standards. Make a forum especially for newbies or something. Whatever.
But you need to realize the very real chance that Conker may well be nine years old and afraid to come to a forum he might well have joined to talk with fellow Oddworld enthusiasts because everyone wants to ban him for being him. I'm not saying this is definate, but there is always the possibilty.
This turned out to be a longer post than I originally planned ... but I stick by it. If someone wants to argue and show me why I'm wrong, I will read intently and either rephrase or withdraw my statement.
