I would agree that it is somewhat annoying but I sympathize with people possibly communicating with strangers online for the first time.
Can we please stop making forums with the title "hi"? And then the only line is "Hello"?
Interesting, a discussion about the greeting card forums. I like them. They just need flavor. Hi, oh I mean, bye. 🐿️😄
You trying to kill the forums? You remove useless posts and you remove about 95% of what is posted.
There has been a decrease in the level of relevance of the forums. They answer their own questions
Let's be honest. These forums are 99%. "Look at me". And 1% actual chess related stuff that is helpful.

And even if it's not the first time, if the guy makes one spam topic after another, the moderators will still sympathize.

It's become a problem on the internet in general since the pandemic, everyone wants to talk and no one wants to listen, plus many new users have entered in via watching streamers where the chat is just a bunch of children screaming to be noticed and no coherent discourse so they have never even learned the etiquette of forums or the art of rational conversation
