My "ban" from BCN

[david aka the TYZ]

I have an idea for how to keep this site turning into BCN. Quit responding to posts and threads we all see going in that direction. If we all just ignore these posts, the posters won't have anything to fuel their nonsense.

David, while that's a good thought, I think your method loses its effectiveness once there is more than 1 troll posting at a time. Once the board grows and there are several of these folks at a time, they become perfectly happy feeding off of each other's idiocy. Then our board becomes a hostage to morons.

My ideal progression of punishment would go like this:

1. Reprimanded by other members (PM or public),
2. reprimand by mods (PM or public),
3. temporary ban,
4. permanent ban.

Meaning, you'd better not mess up 4 times. That's more than ample opportunity to understand how we want you to conduct yourself on this board. If you don't comply by then you either don't get it or you're an ass.

I honestly don't think we need to worry. If a poster gets old, he's gone. Ralph is cool as far as I'm concerned. We may not agree with what he says all the time, but he takes it like a man, and usually comes from a good place.

Usually when a member has overstayed their welcome, it's painfully obvious to more than a handful of veterans.
