AFTER I am banned...

[RW]

No one is forcing him to be here.  He's restricted because he wants to shit up the place.  I would consider giving him access to the music section but it would require the blessing of everyone else.

I would vote to give him access to music. If he messes up there, you can always rescind the privilege.

Which is what I always end up doing because he doesn't take any responsibility for his actions.

WHAT IS STOPPING THE ADMIN/MODS FROM BANNING THIS HALF WIT????



Who is responsible for perpetuating the presence of this serial psycho? What is the logic applied that leads that person to believe that the participation of this dull witted dickweasel enhances this forum in any way?



What is the rationale that supports his presence, when his conduct clearly is beyond the boundaries of reason and sense?



Come on...will the accountable person please step forward and explain how the continued acceptance of this nematode contributes to this forum in any positive and meaningful way.



I'm fed the fuck up with admin/mods playing social worker at the expense of sensible and committed members. So,lets hear from those responsible so that we too may understand how this creepy little carpet licker adds to our pleasure and enjoyment at belonging here.

[RW]

He's confined to one section of the forum.  What is stopping you from just not reading him?  Why do we have to vet the membership because others who read and reply think he's an asshole?  Is this not a forum of supposed grow-ups?



Answer me that first.

[Bricktop]

Your argument lacks reason...for a start, if I access a thread, unless he's made the last post, how do I know he's crapped on the carpet?



Why should I curb my access to areas of the forum because YOU (as in the collective staff) haven't got the sense, reason and consideration to act in the best interests of the people who make this place hum?



If this is a forum of grown ups, why do we perpetuate the presence of someone who's mental and emotional development ceased at around 10 years of age?

[RW]

Well I would imagine that accessing an area called "Reject Rodeo" and knowing those who are limited to posting there and the type of content that is posted, that you could make a reasoned decision on what you would find there.  The threads you are accessing are also started by said poster so I imagine that would be another dead give away.  There is an entire forum outside of this subforum where you can post and not run into material you find unsavoury.  



Am I being unreasonable in assuming you have half a clue in what goes on in here?

[Bricktop]

No, you're being irrational.



What justification is there to have such a sub forum, if the majority of members here are to stay away?



See, its like you build a town, and most of it is for the average, working middle class. Not too ostentatious, but cosy and comfortable.



Then, for reasons not made clear, you decide to build a slum, which in turn attracts slum dwellers. It appears that the logic that screams "We don't need a slum if we haven't got scumbags" has passed you by.

I'm not saying the majority of members are to stay away.  What I'm saying is that if you find this section filled with posters you find unpalatable, then I suggest you spend your time in one of the numerous other sections of the board where these types are not allowed to post.



I think there's a reality that is being addressed by corralling rejects, which is that there will always be those types or that type of content.  Slums didn't evolve as a place inviting scumbags.  They exist because scumbags already existed and they needed a place to put them so they weren't shitting up a city.



I should also note that I don't see us attracting other bottom feeders as a result so that somewhat contradicts what you are suggesting.

Mel, have you upset a mod? That is soooooo unlike you.

[Bricktop]

So, because you decline to ban these asswipes, you build a sub forum just for them?



One in which you suggest I refrain from visiting.



And then you suggest that it does NOT encourage them to befoul the place?



No. I ain't buying it; and I'll bet other members aren't buying it either. We don't want or need them. Ban them.



Then we won't need a dumpster...because there'll be no shit to dump.

There are thousands of forums where such behaviour is all but eliminated. It is how they are moderated that makes the difference.

No, they are not.



Some general discussions forums moderate EVERY single post BEFORE it appears.
