Got a PM about him being thread banned in the Rene Rancourt thread.

I assumed what he did was wrong, but then he said it was only a +1 comment. It was +1 of Durkie trolling Fly, but is a +1 cause for thread ban? Does that fall under the harassment policy since you are just piggy backing?

I think it does. He's essentially just repeating what durkie said, which deserved a thread ban.

That said, I'm not opposed to letting him back in since he had contributed previously in the thread. I'll let you decide since it's your thread.

When in doubt on like_that, I would err on the side of "fuck him".

I started it, but I didnt do the thread ban. Ill let it stand.

Just wanted to make sure it was done purposefully.

And I agree, err on the side of fuck him (and the others).

I did the thread ban. Final call is yours, I really don't care either way.

I think since I was even confused on if +1 was harrassment we maybe should let him go on the warning.

But now that I, and assuming all the other trolls (since they all read the basement all day) know, we wont have this issue in the future.

Ill go ahead and unban him.

I received an angry PM where he blames me and calls me a bitch.

To CoA and Like_That, everything is always my fault and every other mod thinks I'm a loose cannon.

And when you unban them, in their eyes, you are showing that they have power over what gets modded.

I'm of this opinion, it only reinforces their behavior.

They believe at this point if they raise a big enough stink they will get their way, which I don't necessarily blame them for believing as we have kind of cultivated that belief.

It's like we go out of our way to take it easy on then when the exact opposite should be happening

I don't disagree. From this point on I agree with your first post. Fuck him (them).
