The presence of KnowMo may inspire certain users to frequent the board more often...for they are having more "fun" with him here.
And the argument can be made that the exact opposite reaction can occur with the users who despise him. However, I would like to remind those particular users of Chiefsplanet, Section FAQ, Chapter General Forum Usage, Article "How to Deal With Troublesome Users." This states:
Can I block posts, emails and messages from specific users?
If there are particular members that bother you and you do not want to see their posts or receive Private Messages and Emails from them, then you can add these members to your 'Ignore List'. There are several ways to do this:
Through your User Control Panel: User CP, Settings & Options, Edit Ignore List. Then, type their name into the empty text box and click 'Okay'.
Therefore, if a member hates KnowMo, they have the opportunity to not be exposed to him, by simply ignoring him. If KnowMo is banned, the users who have more "FUN" in their CP experience(s) due to the presence of KnowMo, do NOT have the opportunity to read his posts, for his posts cease to exist in those circumstances. This is unfair.
