Results of Thread Ban Poll

[BRUTALITOPS]

http://i.imgur.com/TV2yG6S.png

Preliminary Numbers:

Keep: 16
Abandon: 10

Actual Numbers:


Howey accidently voted neutral and wished to be moved to Keeping it
Shy Guy voted to keep, but he doesn't count as his account was signed up in January and I said accounts less than 2 months old would not count
Guest doesn't count
Thus: 16 - 9

Liberal/Conservative Break down:

To keep: 10 liberals, 6 conservatives

To Abandon: 5 liberals, 4 conservatives

Of those that felt strongly on the issue, one way or the other (i.e. we just aren't even paying attention to wishy-washy neutrals):

66% of liberals like it
60% of conservatives like it

---

Overall, it's clear that the favoring and opposing of this feature don't really break down on political lines. Ratio wise both sides are essentially the same.

Given that most of that this wasn't a partisan result and that the majority of the community likes the feature, we will be keeping it.

If at some point in the future people change their mind and we want to come back and re-evaluate this, we can. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Please continue to use it responsibly and to silence trolls or people that are just trying to just fuck up your threads. I know most of you are doing that, but just reminding people to keep using it maturely.

Thanks all!

[Howey]

Grind is good.

Grind is wise.

All hail Grind!

[Timshel]

Neutral people count most as we can be swayed. Do not piss us off. Hail Satan!

Grind should have banned us all from this thread.

[Minister of Truth]

Phuck.

[Rune]

Phuck.

Why are you opposed?

[Minister of Truth]

Because it is a stupid way to exist on a political discussion forum. It is fun to create gag threads, but that's about it.

You see no value in banning this;


I'm not sling for definitions, idiot, I'm asking for clear proof that GWB went AWOL to avoid Vietnam, as alleged by rune.

Rune has none.

You have none.

So clearly you are both spouting liberal lies.

[Minister of Truth]

Nope. You should just stop spouting liberal lies.

[evince]

the people have spoken.

I will not ban anyone from any thread that I make.

so it will remain that the only person I ever banned from a thread was evince.

[Minister of Truth]

I agree with Desh, except that I will use the ban feature in order to amuse myself, and not because I take it seriously.

I will use it to improve humanity's condition, by banning 007 from every thread I ever create.

If 007 can break into Blofeld's fortresses, he can certainly break into your threads!

Funny... but it seems the people most likely to get banned from a thread were the ones who liked the feature the least. Imagine that.

Since his is the only countable vote against it, I have to assume you really don't know how to read a chart or graph.

Does explain a lot of your misconceptions.

[Minister of Truth]

Then you're nobody.

do a poll on who uses it.

I spoke against it and never use it

of those that wanted to keep it, 10 liberals wanted it vs. 6 conservatives.

threadbanning was invented on behalf of the liberals here.

Go look at who complains the most about content and who says what.. it's not conservatives.

[evince]

you people use it far more than the left.

Just like you abused the filibuster until it was useless as a tool to make government

[evince]

you are not good actors

Your bullies

Filibuster is for fags. I look forward to the nuclear option.

Boy thread banning really does piss Deshy off doesn't it?

I wonder if her psychosis is directly proportional to the number of threads she is thread banned from?

Care to do a small observational trial?

Or maybe her George Soros Overlords pays her by the threads that aren't hers that she crapfloods and thread banning is hitting her in the pocket?

For some reason Deshy is very butthurt over being thread banned by three people. Very funny indeed

I vote to keep thread banning just because it poses off Deshy

I think that this is the stupidest rule for a discussion forum that even the extreme right could ever have thought of, to use that word loosely. Where's the discussion if you ban anyone who doesn't agree?

[canceled.2021.1]

Who says EVERYONE has to be part of the discussion. Do you included everyone in a discussion in your personal life? I am sure you have lots of discussions in real life that you exclude people from. Why is this any different?

Problem is your self important liberal egos can't even fathom the notion that some folks have ZERO interest what you have to say on an issue.

For instance I know how Desh is going to every thread. There is no creativity. No thought. Just a list of talking points she copies and pastes.

Like I said I love that you hate it

By my count 37 people voted. I only counted once, so I might be off by one! Which means you are claiming that 37 people represent the majority of the community here or that there are only 73 people maximum on this board! I find that hard to believe!

[Dantès]

The rape boy is pretty damn stupid, I totally agree with that, but he is so disgusting on so many levels that I generally keep him off my threads even though I can't read his rape fantasies any longer!

I guess he looks at his tiny limp bit of flesh and gets angry at everyone about his condition.

[Jarod]

Dixie voted? Is he back from his banishment?

[Jarod]

I like it because there are times I dont want a thread hyjacked by BM or TD. When I want a specific answer to a topic or discussion on a topic. Otherwise I dont use it or care.

[iolo]

It seems to me that any legitimate concerns are covered by 'Ignore'. What is the point of ghettoes where reactionary loonies support one another and deny serious comment?

[evince]

the point is to save their historically failed ideas from the facts

heres the problem guys.

You cant have a functioning democracy when one side cheats in elections.

So what?

Why do you think you are entitled to post in any thread you want? Do you think you are that special?

[PostmodernProphet]

Which means you are claiming that 37 people represent the majority of the community here

more like 80% of the people here then if you don't count all the sock puppets as different people......the funny part is half of the ones who voted aren't here any more...

Desh must hate democracy. The ban feature was democratically implemented - hence, she is banned from threads by the will of the people!

I'd guess I'm an orbiter, I'd have voted for it, though haven't ever used it. That I know of, I've been banned on one thread. No harm done. ;)

If you mean a simple majority can destroy individual rights, you are closer to fascism, surely? And OH don't the rightist love banning people - the Nazi apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it? Long live the Inquisition!

Oh the Nazi reference. If I am not mistaken, someone here once said that the Nazi reference is the last refuge of someone who no longer has an argument to make.

BTW, weren't Nazi's socialists?

When Senate Democrats invoked the “nuclear option”, they immediately did one thing: made this president — and future ones — much more powerful.

Consider: Nominations for executive branch positions — including Cabinet jobs — as well as all non-Supreme Court judicial nominations now need only 51 votes (rather than 60) to end debate...
