If a member here gets banned, should they be allowed to join back to the fourm under a newly assumed name? What if they get banned a second time? This has become a topic of interest recently.

I'd like to see an open forum. No rules, no banning, say anything to anybody. Stop trying to be the forum police. Let the sparks fly.

I would too. Fuch It! Feels like I get in trouble more than I care to.

FWIW, We don't have these issues in the sandbox, it has it's own rules and regulators (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I can get in trouble in the sandbox. Rules are made up as you go. I'm on my last warning for something that had no rules...

I'd say the place polices itself quite well, because of the members.

When an asshat exposes himself, it is pretty clear to everyone. He then becomes entertainment fodder and gets run out on his ass by everyone. How does it get any better than that?
Let's not try to over-use rules and make the place sterile.

I know there are exceptions... Apparently Stromturd and ape/red/demencheIA are among them. But I have to admit, if they don't try to creep back in once in a while, I'll miss the drama a little.

And sometimes people do change, at least for a while.

After all, Alfred/Alpine/Alhambra/All_be_back behaved himself for more than a year before reverting to racist phallocranial behavior...

Huh? So you can read this? Well IF you can it'works for me. In the place of their message there's a "you're ignoring this fool" note in a white box and a "do you want to un-ignore?" option. The only time you can't get away is if someone else quotes them. You see their posts then. Great feature, I swear it's lowered my blood pressure by twenty points, easy.

I can still see you too (in all your naked, blurred out glory), so it clearly isn't working.

It's working on me. But I ignore you most of the time anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) That way I stay pretty ignorant. No. Wait, that's not quite right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Internet bullies are most likely not capable of that kind of behaviour once you put them in a real life public situation.
They would be shut down by a group of people, told to shut up, and not listened to.

This behaviour, with personal messages to spawn even more drama and attempt to sway a conversation only ended up with the original thread being ignored, all education in the thread is over...

I believe the ignore button is the best response and even if you see a post quoted, do what you would do in public...let it go and dont respond.

Honestly, the Internet gives certain types of people a platform to be heard...these types of people would typically require therapy to even try to be part of a normal social situation.

Yes, they can make your blood boil...then its time for you to do what you would do in a real life situation...either walk away (if that is what you would do in a bar) or stand your ground and tell the person to STFU

I haven't been around as long as most, but I think the way the Admins handled the last post where there were personal threats, etc. is the best way to go. I think everyone has a right to their opinion, but if you start bashing someone in a personal way, your post is gone. I know this sounds like internet police, but as a society, sometimes we need to be reminded that we are human beings and we should treat others like we would want to be treated. Sound like I'm preaching? Sorry.

Drums, try closing and reopening your browser. If that doesn't do it, maybe a reboot or clearing your cache.
