Banning people won’t let you control them. Delete his posts if they’re inflammatory, but let him post and tell him what’s objectionable when you do delete them. Better to have him here with your attention than somewhere else.
[/quote]I agree for now, better the [i]divel[/i] you know…, but there may come a point of no return < Spam after spam after spam of new posts/threads about deleted posts/threads etc, etc…In that case he’s gotta be banned.
-
It does keep you stay alert when someone is a bit critical about us / feathercoin.
Altho when he is trying to be personal you can slap him in my opinion.
-
both erk and randomdef have acted silly. the latter has been trying to get us to play the bow down to the man with the money game. the former has been whining about every detail.
keep them, but keep watch.
-
Constructive criticism is fine, disagreement is fine but personal attacks are not.
Should we implement an infringement system where so many points get you a timeout of a day or so? Can SMF even do that?
-
If it comes to that then do it by hand. Give him a 48 hour time out.
But as the community manager for several communities prior to this one, I can tell you that actually banning someone often hurts you more than it hurts them. You’re better off keeping your enemy within your view than pushing him far away.
Of course this doesn’t apply to everyone. Spammers should be drug out to the street and shot. 9 times. With a 30-aught-6.

[/quote]Despite his obvious trolling, I[b] have no intention of banning him.[/b] I probably give him too much attention as it is… I just don’t get the ‘trolling is cool’ mentality, must be a generation gap.
I’m all for temp bans [b]if [/b] attacks on other members happens EVER again. I ask you touch base with Bushstar personally so I don’t end up being called biased.

Ok, I agree with a 48hr timeout instead of a full ban, and will confirm with 2 other Global Moderators in any timeout situation, not just for randomdef.
Thanks for the feedback.

I reckon he has 7 or 8 forums which he trolls for a day or so each in rotation. As long as there are no ad hominem attacks I’ll just mostly tune him out, with the odd poke just to keep things interesting.
-
I changed my mind, I issued a 72 hour break from the board. Telling members of the community to F-off is a personal attack and it won’t be tolerated.
-
Arg - you just beat me to it!

Ok, back to getting away from the board… g/f is giving me the eye.

[/quote]You are telling me you have banned Tuck too :D

Yeah Yeah, laugh it up everyone… I make a ‘few’ mistakes now and then. :)

Also had a Moderator message from Tsunami saying he was banned :-\
IP Bans are pointless I have users in an area of Manchester on my forum and when I tried to ban the Chinese (for their love of spam bots) iP range it banned all of them too as they fell within part of the range ;D
