A weird Web 1.0 nazi site wants help. How to handle?
@JW0914 So creating new accounts and posting criminal content or linking to it cannot be done indefinitely without increasing the risk of getting caught. (As for hiding malicious purposes … well, the same applies for real, offline life. The inability to detect malicious thoughts shouldn't prevent you from trying to block the clearly malicious intent, as stated in the meta question here.)

@JW0914 No, banning the user's e-mail address will make it harder for the user to continue posting, though not immediately. Reason: these days, it is hard to obtain new e-mail addresses with no strings attached. While a user can register a fresh e-mail address and get a new account (say, at yahoo.com), he/she will usually have to get his/her contact data verified (e.g., a phone number or another e-mail address). This applies even to the e-mail services in the countries such as Russia, considered enemy nowadays. The state can even track the users of the throwaway e-mail addresses though IP.

@Gantendo Though I'd probably try to express it more politely, I fully agree with your characterization. If Stack Exchange, Inc., doesn't agree, then I'm wrong here.

“computer enthusiasts” is not a technical or administrative term and should be rewritten or dropped
@JourneymanGeek If jokes are really tradition, I'm ready to overwhelm this site with jokes, and would expect them to remain open. In this case, “go elsewhere” is a “humour augmenting” comment.

I “attacked one phrase”? Oh no; I took one phrase, namely, the first flaw in what your wrote, as it's pointless to read further. It's YOU who probably felt attacked, while all I do is just typing. As for “eristical”, it applies to your own comment. “The point in changing just one part of it” is to value one's own words, unless you prefer to talk meaningless junk just for the purpose of wasting the reader's time, of course. I strongly oppose to talking garbage. If you don't see value in precise statements in technical matters, you can't be helped. Leave fuzziness to poets and politicians.

Concerning “what difference does it make if some part of it is fuzzy or ill-defined”: If a person values his/her own words, he/she shouldn't say or write ill-defined stuff. In technical/engineering matters, he/she should also not say or write fuzzy stuff. Otherwise whatever he/she says or writes has little to no value. Do you wish that this community has no value?

Again, concerning your “a neat little pun”: this site is not for puns. You you wish to have puns (or jokes in general), go elsewhere.

@Ramhound I completely agree that we probably don't want to describe our community as users with addictions (even if some or many of the users are).

@Ramhound This “we” is a standard way to involve the reader into discussion. Of course you may agree or disagree with certain parts of the text; no questions here. As for your “don't make any suggestions”, you're wrong, strictly speaking: one suggestion is stated, namely, “computer addict”. At the same time, I hope this community can come up with a better one. Of course, if you (here I intentionally depart from “we”) folks are really not addicts.

The problem has been already stated; I can't help if you fail to understand it.

Nobody wrote “only”. And at the same time, if you say that X is for Y (e.g., “the Ukraine is for the Ukrainians” or “this WC is for women”), you usually do mean “mostly” or “only”. If you do think that “mostly” or “only” are wrong here in “for computer enthusiasts and power users”, then what you call (allegedly) a preamble would be void of meaning (because the phrase would encompass everyone) and should be dropped altogether. In this case, feel free to go on and start a new meta question on this.
