The point whoever said it was trying ot make was that you can't use the reasoning "he's annoying, so ban him" because there are a lot of people are annoying, so if one person is annoying and gets banned for it, it would only be fair that every annoying person gets banned.
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

I think that Viking has a very poor set of morals, but he hasn't done anything recently that would justify a ban.
Doe on the otherhand, has nothing to offer but crap, we wouldn't be loosing anything by banning him.

You have good points, but I don't know what you're saying about how I do my job. I do a lot more than just move posts to the proper forums. There's no way you can tell what I do except for that, because that's the only thing that leaves a trail. If I remove a post or topic, it's usually impossible to tell if they were there in the first place.
|
Sorry if it seemed like I was making remarks about how you do your job here. I was just speaking in general, to prove most of my points I was making.

The reason I'm so against banning a member like JohnDoe so fast like this is because it seems to be happening way too much. I don't think we should just throw people out all the time. I feel like it should be taken with more maturity and that we should act like adults about it, instead of just whipping out the ban hammer.
|
It may seem like the ban hammer shouldn't come this quickly, but the thing is, if you were to ban JohnDoe at some point in time, it would be best to do it now or sometime in the very near future. JohnDoe has had a banning comming for a very long time now, yet he hasn't gotten it yet. Don't think that you're throwing him out all willy nilly either. He's done nothing but troll this forum into oblivion ever since he joined here, and has had nothing to contribute, yet he's still here. It's a good idea to be able to distinguish between times where you need to take effort into investigating why you're banning said person, and when you feel that someone is causing way too much trouble to be allowed to stay for very long. JohnDoe fits into the latter category, if you ask me. Sometimes, a swift kick to the nuts is the only way to get certain internet people to shut up.

I think what really turned me off was how Viking was thrown into this whole thing. That is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

Viking shouldn't even be a part of this disscussion, and I don't know why people insisted on banning him.

That's not true. As I said a few posts ago, Blazer banned him rather recently for his verbal abuse. If you look at his post history, there's a significant stretch of time (I think 30 days) when he did not post.
I'm the bawss.

The main point here is that he got banned for a week, then showed a tiny bit of better behaviour just after he came back (I remember being surprised that he actually stopped being abusive), but then rapidly fell back in his old habits or so it seems.
I won't vote in this topic though, considering it's not a poll started by a moderator.

Honestly if you wouldn't take the guy so seriously you wouldn't even have a problem.. He's taking like 15 seconds to type up one line and some people are busting out page long essays to reply to him.

No, but looking at your profile is.
|
really there is no need for this kinda bs. you are just full of shit arent you?
its posts like this that made my decision clear..
you obviously do it for kicks, why come to this forums if you hate this community? or is it exactly it, you hate this community so you come here to post insults and bs to as many as you can?

i still got a few years of maturing to do. i'm sure you can wait that long  Like many people have said before, there is an ignore. We have all (except the < 14 year olds) have been through this stage at one time in their life.
|
I do use the ignore function on you, and have done for some time. I used the "reveal" button for this post because I assumed your reply would have something to do with my post.
The only thing with the ignore function is that it makes the forums look a bit untidy for me. Kinda like when a mod moves a topic to another forum, that looks kinda shitty too.
//edit someone deleted your post whilst I was replying to it.
