Users that are cheating their account, abusing their position, or bending the rules rather than breaking them. You know who I am talking about! Because every forum has one.
There are always a few people who understand the way communities work. They post properly at most times, knowing that will have some weight towards some of the moderators. But they also know the rules, and how to bend them to get away with it. They are on the verge of ruining a good mood on a site, and the administrators might just want to ban them. The staff might think otherwise.
There are always one or two users who cause a bit of problems on sites from time to time, but you can't prove they are the same person until they give it away. Would you just take preventive action and delete those accounts (ban them actually)?
How do you deal with users who bend the rules and are sneaky in their actions, until they get mad again and ruin it for the rest?
