I totally agree with you and
@WAJsal on this. A chance should be given, it always is.
The only question is,, how many times?
I have been in a case where i reversed ratings of a same guys 3 to 4 times after he said that he promise he wont do such trolling and ranting again, i saw his saying the same to some other TT/MOD after his posting was rated negative, he asked a chance to edit that and once done the ratings were reversed. Now i have seen this happening some 8, 9 times. You still feel that the next stupid post i come across and rate, i should reverse my rating AGAIN, after the promises AGAIN that he wont do such thing. Even though i have seen the same story being repeated some 8, 9 times.
I am just asking your point of view in this situation. For how long should the TT/MODS keep on going and reversing there ratings only because the culprit have again promised that he wont do it in future, only to have to go through same routine a couple of times daily with one same poster?
