My most recent tomfooleries in this place and my subsequent repentance has made me think about such an idea. Can we create a usergroup to be banned from the Feedback Forum for a specified amount of time?
However, that might lead way to a "silence-the-critics" Nazism.
Anyways, discuss.
It would motivate me to post a few more times. :(
Should we make a No "insert forum here' for me usergroup for every forum? It seems silly just to make a usergroup like that for one forum.
How about you think about what you're going to post before you post it and deem it post-worthy or garbage? I think then we could avoid 59318402194031 different user groups designed to baby-sit you guys.
That seems like an extraneous procedure.
we could just strip your RM title.
Believe me, we've discussed 'no feedback for me' already.
Yes, I agree with eest. Followed by "No EoFF for me".
Hmmm...if I still was an RM, how many times would I have had it stripped from me by now?
EDIT: Yamsy, you're no fun. Be we love you anyway. :love:
fortunately we don't have to discuss that possibility.
Ask Necro about the effectiveness of that threat.
Kinda shameful you resort to it, really.
*sighs*
Neel, it was a joke. I don't think eest expected you to go "omg, I better be good or they'll strip my RM title!"
i know you'd be crushed if you couldn't close your own threads anymore!
but being an RM is kinda neat and you probably shouldn't do too much to piss us off.
That's true - pissing people off is dumb. Good thing I never do that at all. ;)
Being Former Staff is cooler, since it's not like they can change the fact that I'm a former staff member. xD
Though I guess I could still lose the title, but it'd be kind of pointless, as I have yet to close any of my own threads, and I've been an RM/FS for several years now. Hmm...can I make one last "_____ Feedback" thread and close it again, just for kicks? :D
Raist, it is possible for you to do it, so I can't really stop you, unless I drunk tank you or something.
Neel, you don't piss me off, but I think you make Yams cry. However, this was all probably a plot to get Yams to do more staffing.
WesM 118: but hey, you closed a few threads!
WesM 118: You probably did more work tonight than the rest of your career combined.
Oh man, you guys totally showed me.
:love:
I support Nazism
If we remove Feedbacking privileges from everyone who spams up this particular forum, then no oldbies will be able to post anymore.
...permaban :cool:
uuhhh... I like the spam in this forum.
Whatever happened to banning dumbasses when they smurf up!
Why don't you just give everyone who posts porn "No html or vb tag for me" Flaming? "No using negative words for me" Spamming? "One post per hour for me"
>:O
I remember the days when we didn't have people who caused such controversy (trolls), people who claimed not to be trolls (trolls) and trolls (trolls). Or maybe it was just that nobody really cared when such people got banned without a highly detailed reasoning backed up with at least five different pieces of evidence. I remember the days when if someone was giving us trouble, we'd edit porn into their posts and ban them for it. I remember the days, oh yes, I do.
But seriously, it would be kinda cool if we could go nazi-styles and just ban whoever was giving us a headache. That was neat.
So, who's demanding you explain your reasons?
When will you old-timers realise that no-one gives a a flying smurf, or even a grounded smurf for that matter, about what went on "back in the day"? BACK IN THE DAY (1992) EoFF DIDN'T EXIST OMG LET'S GO BACK TO THAT TIME! :rolleyes2Quote:

I sense a Yams moment coming from Proto soon.
What's that supposed to mean?
It'd eventually cause mutiny. Probably among people we want to get rid of anyway, but we don't want a bad (worse?) reputation.Quote:

Would we lose valued members? Doubtful. We just have to make it look like it's all happy-happy-joy-joy all the time and be nice to the dumbasses so the staff doesn't look like a bunch of jerks.
:monster:
But WHY?
For new members? Anyone who's not a dumbass would see that you're only banning dumbasses and they'd be like "damn, this place isn't going to suck! *join join join*"
I like how the staff has become deliciously bitter. It was bound to happen sooner or later. ;)
That's why they keep knighting new ones. :p
I, and I'd imagine everyone else on staff, just get bitter when people begin to question everything we do. That post was just me venting at those sort of people. Carry on :)Quote:

That whole "trying to explain your actions" thing is probably a big part of your problem. Pick one person on staff to be the cranky, seemingly ban-hungry ogre, and have him or her take care of all that. I don't know how you can get along without one.

Bitterness is not a new feature by any means.
Not only that but half the Mods would go Ka boom as well...and it would only last for two weeks in this forum only.Quote:

maybe if you hadn't left staff there would still be one. or are you back on staff now? I don't even know anymore.

banned from just this forum or temp-banned from EoFF as a whole? or punished with usernote bans? not that I'm fearing obtaining any of these bans, since I post like once a day.
It's all PR and beaurocratic nonsense. You people have ruined our happy dictatorship!
But I don't think it unreasonable to have to gather evidence before banning, it's the only way we can have anything close to a fair forum.
I don't mind doing the banning because most people think I'm a big joke, so by the time they figure out I've banned them I will be laughing all the way home.
Now you're talkin'. Staff is missing both the scapegoat for amusing antics and the scapegoat for bannings, and it shows. Sadness.Quote:

You just need to refine your interview process to better weed out the crazies.
Hsu why did you make this post? I demand 5 reasons, stat!Quote:

I don't think it's a big problem, but I vote BtV for grouchy old ban-man because I think he would excel at bannination.
Voided
RSL would be the perfect scapegoat, though.
"Oh yes, that was RSL. We've tried to stop him, but he just has a mind of his own. We can't get rid of him either, because he's been around so long."
And we'd forgive him anything, because he's RSL and has a nifty beard.
What are you guys talking about? You have Kishi.
The solution is already there in the form of a [Krikkit robot] swinging its club.

I have no problems taking on the roll of a cranky, seemingly ban-hungry ogre. :cat:
RSL should do it. Then when people get annoyed with him and start making locked LJ entries about him just post the picture of him with Eeyore on his head and all will be forgiven. Then start the cycle over again.
RSL is too cuddly to hate. <3
:mad2:
Oh, don't worry RSL we all love yeah!! :DQuote:

Jeez Del, you're such a killjoy.
I'm a jack of all trades, hon. :pQuote:
