I don't really care so much what he says. He makes this place more lively, and if he goes off the rails enough I can just ignore him and not read his comments / posts. My experience on this site is never lesser from his presence, even if he's going off-topic. It is however lesser whenever he's banned.
It's not like he's posting 27 different things and replying to every comment. This place isn't so active that his presence (or lack thereof) goes unnoticed. It takes very little scrolling to get to yesterday's (or even last week's) discussions.

Probably because he is banned constantly, because he used to spam fill the place with his posts and basically clog the entire front page with his anti-woman things (that often made no sense) and then argue with everyone who asked what the fuck he was talking about.
He has gotten considerably better at this, probably because he has gotten banned so much, but some of us remember a time when he did actively drag down the place with spam.
I've been lurking here for a long time. Probably about as long as you, given our similar account ages.At this point I can almost feel the change when he's banned; the site just feels lesser. Then I go and check and yep, he's banned. Usually for several days at that point.
At no point in my years lurking here have I felt like he's making the place worse. Quite the opposite, despite disagreeing with much of what he says. r14 already keeps him in check well enough, and anyone who can't stand his measly 5 posts per day can just block him.
This is including his time on KIA2 back on reddit as well, where he was at his most "I need to help wake people up" innocent phase. He, among a few others, back then and the early days here had to be told directly to stop posting because of the clog and its why the rule was introduced in the first place.
I do think he is making the place worse, but not from a technical standpoint, just pure ideological. Because I've spent longer than he has been alive working at anti-feminism and misogyny, and he is actively making the cause worse by coming across as a histrionic lunatic and making actual points disagreeable simply because he said them.
He is a funny little ha ha retard man, but people only make exceptions for him because of his mascot notoriety. No one is whining about guys like DrJester disappearing or being banned, despite them being just as vocal and everywhere during their time.
Regardless, I don't think he should be banned no matter my thoughts and the rules are mostly retarded. I just don't think he makes anything better either.
Is that really his fault though? I feel like the site is just bad at searching. Reddit has the same problem. I can't find shit in the other communities. Heck, sometimes I can't even find things that I literally saw the day before.
I just want him to keep his sperging on topic instead of derailing every single thread.

His spamming of various topics on a daily basis has effectively astroturfed several search strings of anyone is trying to look up other topics.
Curiously the topics that are now harder to find are also ones Imp has been known to defend despite the obvious issues associated with them.
