On Banishment...

[Leopardsocks]

No forum owner, through her trusted assistants, should be frightened to ban miscreants, infiltrators and agitators.



I know that in Van, evs had an anti-ban policy.



It didn't work...and it has now been rather robustly and quite rightly reversed, although with rather more vindictiveness than sense.



However, if a forum proprietor adopts a "live and let live" approach to forums, if will eventually backfire.



Over "there", after enforcing a "No bans" philosophy, bans are now being administered with gay abandon. Unfortunately the reason for the bans is usually personal, aggressive and hostile rather than rule based.



Nonetheless, I advocate that a no-ban policy will eventually enable the cockroaches to overwhelm the residents.



For that reason, I propose that Mel, in any of his guises, be banned forthwith. He has nothing to offer, is clearly intent on disruption, and has no sense of allegiance to the community.



This will undermine the forum over time.



Yes, some may see some hypocrisy in these words spake by the monstrous Leopardsocks. But a reality check will remind you that I broke no rules, and my "crimes" were largely "political" in that I spoke against the management for her bestial treatment of people who once supported and trusted her.



Mel is nothing more than a wilful and serial pest. I therefore fully support and propose that Fash and Keeps do whatever it takes to remove this blight, and ensure he never returns. Now, rather than when...



Keepers does not need this hostility in his face.



Good work, keeps...do what has to be done.

[Leopardsocks]

Actually...a suggestion...



Put the motion to the plebiscite...



I, Leopardsocks, propose Mel be banned.



All those in favour, message Keeps with an "aye". All against do likewise with a "nay".



The mod can thus quite rightly state he or she has acquiesced to the will of the people.

I am not even thinking about banning anyone right now Leopardsocks..



The move to a new host occupies my forum thoughts right now.

[keeper]

He is beyond reason, his sole purpose is to disrupt the board.

Precisely why I propose that banishment be metered out by the consensus, alleviating you of any responsibility.



Let your people decide.



I know its early days, Fash...but tis better to deal with saboteurs now, than wait until its too late and damage is done.



But...just opening up the issue for discussion from all...happy to let the powers that be make the best decision.



Just don't want people to think Mel is another Leopardsocks.
