I understand that there was a problem in the past when people were simply just posting tweets and stuff but that isn't a problem anymore. He also quoted out the parts he thought was important and included the entire source for those who wanted to read it. It seems like real effort was made to make a quality post, which lead to quality discussion. I don't think this a "bad" post and would rather more like it rather than less. Maybe I'm missing something. If he made the same post without the source (by source I mean the pasted text from the article as well as the url), wouldn't we have no idea what he is even talking about? Was he responding to a recent post? | ||

SB has continually refused to provide the bare minimum people are asking for him to provide along with the sources he posts. He has refused in any way to improve his posting despite the mod actions. People are asking him to put the slightest measure of effort into his posts and he has steadfastly refused to even acknowledge anything people say to him about it. He has changed nothing from before the change to the posting policy about sources. He doesn't show that he thought about the source or is trying to start the discussion. He makes a statement with a source and expects people to create the discussion by reading the source he posts with a hook to get them interested in what he posted. He doesn't bring value to the thread he creates work for other people to do to engage properly. The discussions he mostly brings is people reacting to his post not his source. These discussions get derailed instantly by the people who posted after reading his post being corrected by the people who read the source. After this the people who didn't read the source continue to post but with the changes brought to them by the people who did read the source who didn't change their original take on the subject because this new information didn't change that. This creates rubber-banding effects of "go back to what I originally said" being an impossible statement because you have two posts that are often now a page or two apart that are both what they originally said but contained different standards of information that are close enough to be near indistinguishable but are different in the eyes of both sides of the conversations. What is above is fucking crazy nonsense that you don't want on your message board. SB makes the above necessary to post like. | ||

I get far more annoyed at people who post assumptions as facts with no source. If you have to ban someone for a thread specific rule it might be better to give a 1 week thread ban instead of site wide. They did that already and he refused to communicate or change anything. | ||

It only seems to impact one person because the other people learned a lot faster. | ||

Even if you got your wish and we stopped banning you we still wouldn't like you because the problem isn't that you're being rejected, it's that you're choosing to be a person who deserves rejection. You're focusing on the wrong thing, you've turned what is clearly an issue with you into an issue with the system, despite the fact that basically everyone else can somehow get along here. | ||
