[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[Asher]

I don't even know why Ben bothers.

He's much better off at FFZ, NewsMax, the Fox News story comments section, etc.

[loinburger]

If he threatened people at those sites then he might face more serious repercussions

NewsMaxer: Catholicism is an inferior religion
Ben Kenobi: I dare you to say that to my face, I'd kick the crap out of you!
NewsMaxer: Ummm... you do realize that I own over sixty firearms, right?

[ZEE]

Or the trolls this site has been plagued with for years? AAHZ is finally out I guess?

aww, you say that with such exasperation. Careful, child, you just might start to actually MOTIVATE this one again.

Congrats Mike. I can really appreciate how difficult it is to pull the trigger on this type of thing. As much as I dislike him, I'm glad you didn't go the permaban route.

I'm sure a DL will appear soon, If not already. (I've been on vacation and not paying much attention here.)

[MikeH]

If he makes a DL to get round the ban I think it would be reasonable to permaban both.

[rah]

My only comment to that is Spinks.
But I will admit that chasing down (successfully) DLs was one of the few fun aspects of Modding.

And for the record, I never ever supported perma bans.

[Jon Miller]

I don't support perma bans.

[MikeH]

I never agreed with bans for a day or a week.

[MikeH]

We permaban spambots all the time.

[rah]

I only did for the chill aspect of a short term ban.
But I didn't like them for some of the reasons you mentioned earlier.

More thought goes into it then most people think.

[rah]

We permaban spambots all the time.

That's different. And I always supported that.

[MikeH]

I would permaban someone for something like persistently posting porn.

[self biased]

I would permaban someone for something like persistently posting porn.

okay, i'll stop.

[-Jrabbit]

Wow. I go to NYC for the weekend and all hell breaks loose.

[Asher]

Nah. Just a little scuffle.
