A weird approach but worked nonetheless..
I had a member on my forum that signed up to debate his version of a "truth." Immediately red flags went up as what he posted was copyrighted (I have my staff check most posts for copyrighted materials/text/etc as its posted), so it was removed. I did a thorough search and found out this user would recreate new usernames if banned/removed/etc, so playing on that card, we told him what his issue was - copyright infringement (and a couple other broken rules). A couple days later, he used the contact us form to contact me and dispute me saying me taking down the copyrighted materials was wrong, etc., and I thoroughly explained to him our rules, policies and procedures - offering him that if he wanted to post, we had no problem with him posting (even encouraged it - on his topic), where he could post and that it must be within said rules and policies.
He wrote back one more time - and I ignored it. I've not heard back since (at all).
