Or you can just ban Aestu and be done with it.
Do we really want Mayo to be the 'head idiot in charge' of implementing and enforcing a ban hammer like the Blues over at the official forums? If I recall, that was one of the largest reasons FUBU exists is so we could talk about things and not have to worry about people getting banned. I don't like Aestu very much but do we want to advocate mods banning people they don't like just because they don't like them? Seems like a slippery slope.
And Dvergar was right on with his first post.
How many times have we seen one of the mods here say, "
This is where I stopped reading..." or "
I didn't read anything in this thread, but I'm going to post a video" Why is it so easy to ignore stuff then but so hard to do it when Aestu posts? "I'm a mod - I need to read every thread"... eh, I feel like I've heard that before. Truth is, as a mod, they don't need to. The community has a feature to report offensive posts so if someone slipped some Gore into a thread that is fifteen pages of TL;DR, then someone will report it... then a mod can fix it.

've already brought this up with the other mods months ago and the vote was against the ban. Not to mention that gutting posts puts everyone on notice as opposed to just Aestu.
Why do you need to put people on notice? Big daddy Mayo is going to send us all to the corner - ohes noes! You act like moderating a forum of two dozen adults is seriously difficult business... really, it's not hard. If you're reading a thread and think, "This is too long of a post and I can't read good" or "the direction of this thread has made a seemingly natural change in direction other than which it started, but people are continuing to post in it" or "This thread is Aestu'd oh fuck" then DON'T FUCKING READ IT ANYMORE. Aestu is annoying and so are threads that he Aestu's but you're the only one getting a sore asshole over it... and in all honesty, you do the same shit from time to time. HURHUR PUT YOSELF ON NOTICE, NICCCA!
