Perhaps warnings when someone is deliberately not respecting the rules of a thread and so do so very repeatedly, they should be warned multiple times and get a temp and if they still won't listen: perm ban.
That is the kind of issue that makes me oppose moderation of OT.
what do you mean?
and remember I said I was open to changing my definition of light moderation.
I think one thing we can agree on: light moderation would less moderation than is done in the rest of the forum.
I don't think there should be such thing as rules of a thread that the mods should be made to enforce.
Example new thread text: "1.) evryone reading this thread mustt send alot of money to my paypal send to the email below and Bobs your uncle 2.) profit"
(I'm already in violation of enough of Frink's Bannable Offenses...do hypothetical violations count?)
I did once support the idea of getting rid of someone who is a bother to most of us; but we've worked pretty well - being able to ignore and shun such a person.
we have. We have had multiple trolls and other offenders. There is only one time in my memory when we united together and all ignored the guy until he left and it took a long while. It doesn't usually work because we are unable to get the united front. Meanwhile banning them would do the job much quicker.
It was the success of that campaign that made me change my mind. There is a certain point where even the biggest troll just isn't having fun anymore, even if the methods are not as quick easy, or seductive. And don't forget, the more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers. (I know that doesn't make any sense in this context.)
I'm sorry, but it only worked once. I don't know why when it becomes overwhelmingly obvious that someone is troll, we can't just get rid of him.
and yes, your quote from Star Wars makes no sense here.
That quote is from Star Wars?!*
I see too many downsides - let alone how annoying it would be, for Wook, to make the kind of subjective calls each person has in mind.
I guess you missed the part where I suggested appointing someone specifically to moderate the off topic section and then I nominated Frink.
Frink did have some good ideas for moderation. I'd nominate myself, nobody would see a ban coming.
light moderation XD (sorry to Warbler, if he still cannot watch youtube :/)
forcing Bingo to post? uniting all threads into this thread? no ignoring allowed? You consider these good ideas?
I will watch your vid when I get to a computer that can play vids.
I think collapsing all threads into one is an idea with real gravity.*
I love the video because it's true. I had two long-term substitute teachers in high school that played out like that.
