    Exclamation THREADBAN POLL 2019

    SUMMARY

    Once again, we are revisiting the issue of whether or not JPP should have threadbans.


    • This poll will be open for 10 days. It's starting 12:00amish monday so It will close 12:00amish thursday next week. I want everyone to have the opportunity to vote. Walls might be spammed O_O


    • If the vast majority of people vote rather quickly it may be closed earlier.


    • If the vote appears to be an obvious runaway it may be closed earlier.


    • VOTE WILL BE ANONYMOUS, even after votes are in. That way, if you wanna be two-faced and claim you hate threadbanning but secretly you want to support it, you will be allowed to do so. The mod team will not out you.


    • We might however provide general stats if people are interested, and in the name of transparency.


    RULE TIME

    Rule 1 - Only those that meet the following qualifications are allowed to vote -

    - must have 500 or more posts
    - must have a JPP account for at least 6 months

    Rule 2 - DO NOT multi-vote

    We might have to count up 50+ votes, I dont' want to IP check everyone. If you multi vote and we catch you, none of your votes will count, and it may lead to a ban of an unspecified length. If you end up voting twice on different names because you are a retard and can't help yourself, let us know before we find out on our own.

    I have my own personal thoughts on the issue but I will wait for others to weight in for a while.

    I'd say it's needed in off topic discussions. I've tried it without, and always seem to add a few later on. Some just like rock the boat. I'm curious if you are able to check the vote, to see if socks are giving additional votes? Legion loves doing that, and will even do it on an open one.

    If you're trying to have a serious discussion, whether it's off-topic or about politics, there are some who just cannot act like adults and should be excluded. If you look at almost any political discussion here that has more than 3-4 pages, by the time you get to the last page it's almost always degenerated into "You're a dick," "You're an even bigger dick." Or maybe that's just how it is here, there, and everywhere.

    I cannot imagine this board going to back to pre thread ban days. Especially with the troll infestation over the past handful of years.

    Being able to thread ban the Amazon socks, are reason enough to keep it.

    That’s never bothered me. I know who the trolls are. I just scroll past them.

    I think the threadban works if you’re the type who gets sidetracked by trolls or those who want to vent bile.

    Another consideration of mine is that I can imagine missing out on Epic posts and threads by using the feature. I probably would have missed most of Dixie’s greatest posts. Desh has had some most awesome ones I would have missed too...and who didn’t want to ban you when Pete Carroll was at USC...and then i would have missed your humanizing descent into purgatory.

    The only one I’ve ever considered thread banning is Super Freak cause the little cock sucker talks to me just like my father used too...but like my father I learned to ignore his caustic tongue.

    So i voted don’t care. I don’t need it but I can see where others like it.

    We all come to this board for different reasons. I enjoy hearing differing perspectives and ideas and seeing that I live in a very large bubble I appreciate hearing opinions from those in the other parts of the country.

    Now granted I'm a slow learner but around the 500th time Desh called me evil and a racist I was starting to catch on to what she thought of me. Of course we have the ignore button but it just fvcks up threads. Same with folks like CFM who no matter what the topic just can't help themselves from dropping n*bombs. I spend way too much time on this board as it is but that doesn't make it enjoyable for me.

    But to each his own on how they feel about it.

    Has anyone thought about a limit, so we don't have so much troll spamming? How does legion seriously punch in all those names. Does he have a list ready, that he just pastes?

    When the thread ban first passed, I was using a list to paste/ban every single active poster as a means to satirize it. Sometimes I even banned myself. That's really the only way to do it.
