Like I said, I never had that problem. I understood what I was getting myself into, and only crossed the line when it was worth it (funny, insightful, etc). I also did things like photoshop, which people tend to like. Besides, I wouldn't say that Inmem "got away" with posting bullshit; he did/does, and pretty regularly gets ridiculed by other posters. He just has the ability to put up with the abuse.
I think that you do see a lot of new posters flame out due to the rather caustic environment for them. That's arguably a good thing in that it keeps a higher portion of terrible posters from ever becoming regulars, but every so often a decent poster will jump in before checking with their toes, and they never post again.
