Well, I think one of the problems is that once you have received a certain amount of positive ratings, it's nearly impossible to get banned, even if you have more negative ratings than positive. For some this means there's no longer an incentive to "play nice".
But I'm working on a solution for that.  |

does Post count matter? if someone has the same neg vs. pos and one person has 5000 posts and the other 1000 which would be banned first? two people that tend to cause problems have massive posts counts because of the OT flame wars.
WOOT, I own page T00![This message has been edited by Back On Holiday (edited 08-20-2008).]

Some people do lose sight of things, and let it effect their daily lives. I have a couple of friends who have let their lives been 1/2 wrecked because they couldn't separate this from reality..

THere is also a poster here that is in this thred now that slams pff and the people that are here on rft and then comes here for what???? I remember the dog statment about a certin thread that you posted. Speek up if you want to. But since he was a good poster before and now insulting it will be imposable to ban as there number of positives that have to be overcome. I think that rating's should drop after a bit of time to balance out the bar. Like they go away after a year.

Let's just make Jazzman "Saint Jazzman". He's is an angel. He's never, ever insulted anyone in in T/OT. He's never, ever provoked anyone into a nasty argument. Now, if you believe that, the tooth fairy, Easter Bunny and Santa will be visiting you tonight.
Jazzman left on his own accord. He left playing the role of a martyr. No one pointed to the door and said, "You must go!" He posted his thread as the act of a martyr. It was posted with purpose. The purpose: To get everyone to have pity on poor Jazzman.
Jazzman is a bitter man. He is very opinionated. He does use his self diagnosis of Autism as a crutch. Someone with his Autistic condition should probably stay away from interacting with hot subjects and people passionate with their opinions. I think it is known that Autistic people are unable to understand emotions of other people and "just cannot compute" some things.
You seem to believe that I instigated Jazzman's departure. I haven't tangled with Jazzman on an issue in weeks! You seem to think I hate Jazzman. I don't. Never have. (I dislike somethings he said to me months ago and do carry that with me.) I dislike that he thinks that he is above criticism of his opinions in T/OT because he is a valuable asset in the Tech Forum.
You seem to think that saying something the way it is shockingly terrible. GOD FORBID that we call a spade a spade. That would ruin the sainthood that we grant people in life!
You have heartburn over me waving good-bye????? Why? That was rude in your book? I waved good-bye as a way of showing how childish Jazzman is being.
Jazzman does in fact dish it out in T/OT, but he does not expect that he should be able to receive it back.
I'm really not sure why you are continuing to instigate an argument with Phranc and me? You calling Phranc and me trolls what the epitome of a troll post in itself.
Once again, I don't give a rat's ass or a squirrel's left nut what you do with this PM. I would recommend that you actually let some things sink in:
Jazzman is not a saint.
Jazzman ledt on his own accord and as a martyr.
No one forced Jazzman off the board.
No one hates Jazzman or has a "bead on" Jazzman |
|
I have noticed Jazzman sometimes spouts off (imho 5% of what he posts) but when people like you and pranc spout off in 90% of your posts, and I am NOT the only one here who notices, people dont notice the 5% person, they notice the constant troll for flame wars by the 90% person.
Cliff, is there something you can add in "New Topics" that dont allow certain persons to post in started topics, some way to try and avoid more serious discussions distroyed by people with nothing better to do than flame?

We must not forget that we are all here to share in the open exchange of ideas and opinions. These will differ from time to time but if the decussion in kept on the subject and not on the person who makes the post its easy to get along. I've been posting here since 2000 and thankfully the discussion normally remains civil

Right, because censorship is a great thing in a forum. You don't have to like how I post something or my response to a topic, but censorship and prohibiting a person from posting is not the best answer.

Wow. Just wow. I wish I had the "Holier than thou art" characteristic that you and Patrick carry around. Now you are trying to keep members of a PUBLIC forum from posting in threads that are more "serious". My suggestion is if you have "serious" discussions that you only want people in your circle of trust posting on, do it over PM. Would you like us to surrender our guns too, Mr. Senator?
