Manit0u was just temp banned for 2 weeks by KwarK. That account was created on 2004-08-16 10:09:19 and had 9551 posts. Reason: You might want to stop posting in the pictures topic given you now have about a dozen mod actions regarding it. You got a previous ban for this + Show Spoiler + directly instructing you to stop posting racist pictures. If you are unable to stop then you will be banned. That is all. I didn't see the red ink actually attached to his post. It'd probably be a good idea to put it there so that future posters know not to use the "image of a random black dude + racism" meme, not that anyone should need guidance on that. | ||

Is it time to create a "serious" ABL thread in the Website Feedback forum? | ||

Discussing some bans is sometimes more constructive than el oh elling at others... Is it time to create a "serious" ABL thread in the Website Feedback forum? I think it's more referring to the occasions of people who've been coming here and saying "I shouldn't have been banned for 'X' reason or my friend/cousin/co-worker/relative/hero didn't deserve that ban because of 'X'" That's just my assumption/interpretation of it though =o | ||

Very good. A discussion requires multiple points of view. And that's exactly why we shouldn't be having a discussion about bans here. This thread is about ridiculing people who get banned and bans in general, not discussing them. If you turn this into a general "talk about bans" thread, then it loses the reason why I follow it. I come here to see idiots getting banned and have a good laugh. That's what the OP is all about, and that's what this thread is all about. Criticizing a ban detracts from that purpose. There's a reason why this isn't called the "ban feedback" thread; we don't want feedback here. We want mockery. | ||

That makes sense in terms of TL's posting rules, though I feel like it made the site less fun in this one particular case (the old atmosphere in the thread before it got stricter was a lot of fun). Now they're saying we can't even really discuss bans, we can only laugh at them. It was always the rule that you couldn't complain about bans in here, but the way the mod note is written we're now forbidden from discussing any topic other than bans here, and also we're only allowed to express a single opinion ("That's funny") about bans. That effectively prevents any meaningful discussion, and that's what people are complaining about. | ||

i would think that the purpose of a thread is decided by it's inhabitants and OP. and the OP surely leaves at some leeway for discussion (even though the main focal point is clearly to laugh at), so did the old modnote and the responses have been divided so far. there has been no heated argument, only light discussion. in my case i posted my view ("that ban was a bit harsh"), cokefreak engaged me first and then told me to go to another thread when i responded to his question in a manner that he apparently deemed unsatisfactory. i felt i was well within the confines of this thread. i can easily see why a lot of heated debates whether or not a ban was justified would take away from your enjoyment of the thread, but i don't see that a little discussion would. | ||
