I will work on another "warning" thread and then we can start cleaning up again. My bad.

Honestly that will work. Wes goes on banning rampage, then Justin can reassign them to basement, then we just have to watch for alter egos (which is easy) The key is leaving them in the basement and not coming full circle again.

You think people on this site have "tie-wearing" jobs? Kind of a massive leap of faith, but okay...LJ;1151455 wrote:The typical OC poster

I think giving us some power in all forums would help to. Sometimes the mods that can do something about a situation don't see before it turns into a shit storm. More eyes on threads would help, imo.

Would it be possible/wise to give us basement ban power?

I would just like to be able to unapprove posts/infract posters. I just think the quicker you can get something off a thread, the better chance the thread has of staying on track.ts1227;1151644 wrote:Would it be possible/wise to give us basement ban power?

I don't think it'd be a problem for the latter aspect. Whether it is possible or not who knows. Those of us that do have power to ban outright never abuse it. I don't see why we'd abuse the basement ban. It'd actually help as sometimes there is behavior that clearly needs to be stopped but the only option is for us to do a temporary ban until Justin is around for just a basement ban.ts1227;1151644 wrote:Would it be possible/wise to give us basement ban power?

For first time offenders, sure. But when you're dealing with most of these tards, unapproving a post or giving an infraction is just a 2 minute band-aid (until they post again) on a larger issue. That's where basement banning power beyond Justin may help.

An example of why this place is getting trolled constantly is that tablet discussion.
I try to offer some helpful advice and ETB is there just to be an asshole. That kind of behavior is what drives people away. No one wants deal with that shit constantly.

I've given up. This site is going down the shitter being run by trolls. And posters who werent trolls, are turning into trolls (hoops23, wtf?)
Honestly, I couldn't give any less fucks anymore. That bullshit with Superman and Hoops23 sealed the deal for me. This site is shit now.

You literally cannot post anything without someone making a trolling comment.
It's fucking annoying as shit.

Seriously, though. The site has been much more readable, at least to me, the last few days. I guess I am reading the wrong threads?

I know about Superman being a stalky bitch as far as LJ goes, reporting old posts and generally being a twat. Haven't found the Hoops stuff. Did notice the "EtB being a twat" deal that Fly4Fun (I mean, C4F) mentioned. There must be something weird in the water in that whole Bellefontaine/West Liberty part of Ohio. Him, Snot and that mcburg dude. All from there, it seem. All fucking retarded.

Hoops has been following me around and also just randomly doing the "LJ is a professional ______" and then freaked out over my calling him on it last night.
Also the me not being able to post without the "of course you know someone" or " LJ is a professional_____" completely taking the thread off track is getting insanely annoying.

On another forum I am on that had a ton of trolling problems, they added a "basement" type subforum, and if you troll outside of that forum, you are instantly banned. It has really made the forum a lot more enjoyable and membership has started increasing again. You can still joke around and have fun, but the really stupid offtopic trolling is gone.

Have you ever been to West Liberty? I'm surprised that there are more people from there that are suicidal alcoholic assholes. They do have a candy store that sells chocolate covered bacon though, so that almost makes driving through there worth it.Heretic;1153631 wrote:I know about Superman being a stalky bitch as far as LJ goes, reporting old posts and generally being a twat.

I think people are just hesitant to take the next step because we don't want to be JJ. But we have a problem. We have to have a rule that just gets people banned to basement if they just troll posters (just attack posters instead of adding to discussion).
