I completely agree with at policy, but wonder if it is well enough known. Perhaps it ought to be more publicised. A month or so ago I came across a suspect User (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Roman_Czyborra) whose User page photograph of himself was a "seemingly" adolescent boy full frontal (anyone who is the father of sons would know instantly) but it still took a couple of weeks to get the image deleted - and then only after the user showed his true colours and was banned. That is not good enough really. I do think the message has to be stronger and more visible. Not to a state of witch-hunt but certainly so we all know when to be decisive and fast to respond.

There was a recent ANI post about a user who identifies himself as a peodophile (

We have a policy. Advocacy of pedophilia is not tolerated, nor is trolling for partners.
