Banning a member

[sea2summit]

If one member is responsible for the closure of multiple threads for either their own posts or how they agitated others to respond. At what point do they get banned?

I've wondered about that as well. At first I thought it should be clear cut but I'm starting to believe offenders might just take their foot off the gas shortly before crossing the line,keep it sucked up a while then repeat the routine. I spect more are banned or given time outs than we realize since we don't do role call every morning plus out of sight spells out of mind.

One would think the repetitious pattern would become obvious to the proper people. I have honestly had the opinion at times that the member in question was a bot, with the quick link loads, and forever negative view.

Years ago there was a guy on here that would make up stuff about tractors that wasn't true just to start an argument. On another site, he bragged about doing this.

I've always wondered how sad his life must be to do this intentionally, and then brag about it to other people that he never met, didn't know their real names, didn't know where they lived, and they didn't know anything about him either. I can't imagine how pathetic his life must be.

I don't know what this thread is about, but in my opinion, if there is a person on here that is creating issues so he will get attention, I think banning him or blocking him will just make him feel more important. Better to just ignore those people and not respond to them.

I would imagine banning someone could be a difficult decision for the owners, particularly since I doubt they take the matter lightly.
I make use of the ignore feature, and currently do not read the posts of about 12 people.

Are you guys voting on banning me (the member responsible for closing multiple threads)?

If so, what took you so long?

 

[sea2summit]

While not all love you, you’re not the antagonist here

I kinda like ole Muhammad, he only deletes a small percentage of my posts, has a pretty good forum, and builds a killer retaining wall.

And most of all, doesn’t look a day older than he did when I first joined 15 years ago

The way to deal with people like that is to shadow-ban them -- everyone just blocks them. They can still post but no one sees their posts. The online equivalent of the silent treatment.

Speaking the truth.
