A great deal of their posts on TA fall under the inappropriate section of the policies and guidelines as when they are combined together they are indeed a smear campaign of the brands of this general area, be it the brand Pahoa or Kapoho, etc.
They are constantly posting things that are of second and third hand sources which the guidelines stipulate that reviews are only allowed if they are of personal experiences in the past year, etc. There's a clear smear campaign over all between the two of them.
This is something that will require everyone read the terms and policies including the subset blue lined links within the policies. When you get the gist of everything applicable and not applicable, their posts regarding the Puna region are a majority inappropriate.
These need to be collected together as a whole and presented to the TA moderators by not just one individual but by several. Also, report each individual post that falls under the inappropriate meanings as not relevant to travel or wrong forum when they are part of the collective smear campaign. Watch for their self promotion posts too and report them. Above all else read the full scope of the guidelines and you'll see a vast majority of their posts violate the terms. Also a DE's posting standards don't have the latitude allowances that standard members have.
Also note that inciting a community to attack an individual is regarded as a violation of the policies. It doesn't stipulate that inciting a community to attack yourself is okay nor does it stipulate the particulars of what inciting means, it could mean lying, smearing etc.
