Suggestion for peace...
Why not just ban the people that are causing needless trouble for a while? I think that would restore the "calm, intimate atmosphere" that once existed here.
If they keep it up, simply ban them for good. SEEMS simple enough... |

Personally, I do not like to ban people. I like to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them time to "settle in," and learn the personalities of people.
Remember the brothers "Boomer and Ho?" They were a rowdy couple of guys, but, once they understood the bent of this group, they became quite pleasant to be around -- well, funny, anyway. I consider banning to be an absolute last resort, but, yes, unfortunately, it sometimes becomes necessary. You (that's the collective "you") as members of this forum will ultimately have to make that decision. This forum was created by you and for you. Those of you who've spent a great deal of time here should have a voice as to what caliber of folk you wish to associate with. So, simply appeal to the moderators (quietly -- don't lash out) when there is trouble and with enough negative response, those who are reported will first be reasoned with, then, if necessary, the last resort will be enacted. Thank you, everyone, for sticking with the Network, dispite it's recent hullabaloo, but, we will occasionally have our downs as well as our ups. As the old saying goes, "That which does not kill us, makes us stronger." We are stronger for weathering this small storm.

There is a simple way to do this that's referred in newsgroups as PLONKing (Put Lamer On Killfile) - basically you block their email address from your download list and you no longer even see messages from them. It is pretty powerful in the more close knit newsgroups and repeat offenders often end up talking to themselves since none of the regulars even see their questions or comments.
This can also be done easily here. If there is someone that repeatedly gets on your nerves and ruins the usually fun attitude you have towards this site you can hit profile on one of their messages, then in the profile screen there is a spot on the bottom for adding user to your ignore list. You will no longer see any of their messages or be provoked to respond to something out of anger - adding fuel to the fire. I am also mainly against censorship but on the other hand I hate to get myself angry by seeing constant fighting between certain people on this site. I had one member here on killfile for a little while when this site was looking pretty ugly a short time ago. I recently took them off my kill list to see if their attitude changed. I'm all for - if you don't like what's on the radio, change the channel, but I like this site too much to shut myself off from it completely so instead I shut myself off from a few annoying people and continue to enjoy the rest of the network.

how about adding a Flamers Forum? those people can go bicker about whatever gets their panties in a bunch on there, and the rest of us can go on as usual.

i think a Flamer's Forum would be kinda funny. i could even communicate with a healthy dose of vulgarities the way i normally do - on here i have to watch my....fingers.

Well, if you guys want to be "flamers" go right ahead. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just go to another forum.
