I could be wrong, but I think this is another Mount Olympus

Here is the original.

Not that this would happen, but I think there ought to be a period after you join where you can't post stuff, or a stratified posting system where you can start by posting pics and in the forums before you can post pages. I know the guidelines sort of imply that, but it is not enforeced, and consequently, we have the clowns and their pages.

All I want for Christmas next year is to be an Elf for a day so I can delete all the empty, incomplete, and poorly done pages on this site, plus the people who make them. :twisted:

Then again, that might take more than a day... :roll:

He simply doesn't get it or doesn't care. More than one person, including me, tried to explain the situation to him. Now his page is back for the third time.

Maybe we should allow a new page category, Duplicate Pages, for people who would like to contribute to it. I mean posting the same page several times despite all the deletes probably makes people really unhappy, and I am not sure if it is a decent karma to make them suffer for such a silly infraction. Let the dupes live, just lock their page type and voila.

I'm not sure why the last guy (Olymbus, Olympus, Olympos) had so much trouble, but I theorize:
--he doesn't read/write English too well and doesn't really get the rules;
--he doesn't realize he has a local PM account to check;
--transliteration from Greek leads to imperfect searches;
--he really wants to sign the register and add pictures.

Possibly, he just keeps wondering why his pages disappear. Did anyone actually have a two-way conversation with him?

He's b-a-a-a-ac-c-c-k-k-k.

I just sent him an e-mail suggesting that he really wants to sign the register for the existing Mt Olympus page. Has anyone gotten a response from this guy?

I think he should be banned if he keeps posting the same empty page for Mount Olympus in Greece. He's just not getting the hint.
