If you ask someone to leave your topic and they keep posting, they will be banned. PM me in such cases.

Thank you Theymos - and sorry for the impending flood of PM's (just anticipating...) - I'll send a message to all offending accounts and see what happens.

Moderators very rarely moderate self moderated threads. Self moderation is exactly that, you moderate it yourself (OP).

So even if someone posts off topic etc you won't remove them because it's down to the owner of that thread?

2. EduardoDeCastro
3. mainline

Definitely all the same person - there are also three other accounts I believe Bargraphics has confirmed are the same person as above:

1. NotOP
2. Sporket
3. truffix

I expect a few more will crop up - it would be good to have an efficient way to deal with this in the future.

I appreciate that - but there isn't a "ban from thread" option - if there was there wouldn't be a problem.

Can you point out the offenders to me and I can recommend a ban if needed? (super busy atm)

There is a new active mining thread which is self moderated - unlike the old thread which was thinly moderated, the new thread is heavily moderated to remove spammy troll posts (the obvious ones, from known individuals)

New Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=462370.140

The same person keeps posting the same thing at the same time from multiple different accounts. The posts (all duplicates) get reported but no action is being taken.

I noticed a comment in another thread which discusses the problem https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=405950.new#new which suggested the only option was to leave the thread as a free-for-all. With the old seldom moderated thread I can see that concern, however with the new heavily moderated thread the actions of these trolls is only destructive and disruptive. Every troll post is being deleted, but within minutes the same post has been re-added.

We can self moderate the shit out of this thread but it's futile unless mod's step up and clear out the copy-paste-multi-account-trash.
