I remember one long-time poster here that is no longer active (might even be permanently banned). I always thought he got half his posts by typing "", which, to me, looked like a way to criticize a poster without putting it into actual words. Maybe the Talk Board can ban that emoticon as it doesn't involve moderation.

Have you complained to the moderators there? We can't discuss their actions here because it is against the rules.
