We used to give temp points for violations and after x amount of temp points the person would be temp banned for a few days. You all voted that you didn't want that so we went to the current system of "timeouts". Been this way for a year now.

This thread will be deleted as it is against the rules. :)

Fair enough!

I don't remember voting on anything, but that's beside the point. Presumably, we are all adults here and should be able to deal with some perceived (or real) insults. Grow a pair, either fight back or ignore. Crying to mommy/daddy about it is about as juvenile as it gets, and definitely, absolutely, stifles discussion and debate.

If one has to weigh every word one utters (depending on who is moderating on any given day), the forum becomes stultifyingly boring.

Just my two cents.

Boss man, this thread is fun don't delete it yet.

It is immensely amusing that even a neutral post can escape arguments and Petty name-calling.

Other than the occasional time out that SW noted actual bannings are extremely rare and few and far between

You meant to say “can’t”, right?

It's a greater likelihood to people flee because they cannot contend with the superior intellect bandied about here.

In theory, it's supposed to be a 'punishment', I guess, to force posters to comply with 'The Rules'.

In praxis, however... what it does is chase posters away and allow a board to die a less than honorable death.

I've seen it more than once. I don't know what the answer is... censor? Don't censor? Rules? Free-for-all? Just include personal threats to other posters and/or their families in the 'bannable offenses'? Or let minor insults , real or imagined, rule the day (and the board)?

Just sayin'....

I'm putting this in the place where I know it will be read by most, instead of some obscure category that nobody ever reads. Do with it what you will.
Back in BB days it added to the fun.

When every discussion wasn’t a fight to the death.

Now days it is basically a cop out.

And, of course, bear claw the independent thinker and intelligent ‘human being’ dislikes my post. Wow. Whatever would this (or any other) board do without the likes of him? Lol

You're right....I would think ALL posters would agree with what you said. Because it's true. Their dislike for all of us is the reason because they're all hypocrites. They can't even be adults and agree with someone because of their hate for us, even if they agree with your post.

So you can't debate the issue and now you want the poster removed because I made you look bad again!

I also have the right to dislike a post if I want to, same as you!

Temp ban for this:
  • Personal Threats,
  • Stalking someone's posts around the board,
  • Actual harassment,
  • Threats to family of posters.
That's it.

Bear Claw admitted to me right in this thread that she hates me because I am a Trump supporter. Shallow.

Now I understand why you walk funny!!
Hahahahaha.............you disliked my post.
And you're stalking me ...........since you obviously know how I walk.............. I have scoliosis so I probably do walk funny. Want to mock me for that?

Of course you disliked my post.

You've probably been the little butthurt girl that's been turning in posts right and left for hurting your little feewings and you want to be able to continue to do that.
